We're at the London première, how many times have you seen the film now?

This is my third time tonight, it was very different. The first time was just with a couple of actors, then with a New York audience, and they are very much into cheering you know, but tonight was great, they got all the humour, the stuff with Gollum and with John Rhys-Davies' character.

Your character, Eowyn, is wistful, there's an impending sense of tragedy I feel.

There's more to come in the third film, it's a bit more tragic, but it will end up happily I hope.

You know your way around with a sword as well, presumably a lot of work goes into training for that kind of scene?

Yes we trained for about three or four weeks before I started but unfortunately I didn't get to do more sword fighting - I wanted to do more.

Do we see more in film three?

Yeah, definitely, I get some really fun stuff in film three.
