No, nothing.”“I wanted to work with the guy who made ‘Braindead,’” Blanchett added, referring to Jackson, 62, and his 1992 zombie comedy that came out nine years before the first “The Lord of the Rings” film.“I mean, I basically got free sandwiches,” Blanchett said. “I got to keep my ears — which is something.
They fed me.”When Cohen asked again about Blanchett’s biggest career paycheck, she said, “Women don’t get paid as much as you think they do.”Blanchett played elf leader Galadriel in all three “The Lord of the Rings” films, which came out in 2001, 2002 and 2003.She reprised the role in “The Hobbit” movies, prequels to “The Lord of the Rings.”The actress was in 2012’s “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” 2013’s “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” and 2014’s “The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies.”Blanchett isn’t the first actor to speak out about the amount of money they made starring in the fantasy adventure film series.
