yep your bad. actually it was more along the lines of 180 million for three movies. rather low budget by todays standards. Given the ambitiousness of the project it was a ridiculously low number. I have had many discussions with Richard Taylor the head of the makeup effects about the making of Lord of the Rings. It was indeed very much more like a low budget art house project given the scope of the material. so yes, your bad, you are way off base on this one.

Utter bullshit. even though Chow Yun Fat is by all reports a nice guy he must have been in quite a mood when he said that. There are times when we all feel this way. If it were just a business no one would be in it. There are easier ways to make a buck.
