Miranda Otto Talks Eowyn in Return of the King

The official "Lord of the Rings" website has up a new interview with Miranda Otto who plays Eowyn in the trilogy. Here's a clip;

Eowyn wields a mean sword. How did you like all that training?
Oh, it was great fun. The guys on the stunt team are really fantastic. It's really funny, because for all the aggression they have to display on screen, they're actually really happy, good-natured people. When we were shooting, they just said to me, 'You know, it doesn't really look like you're slashing him there. You'll really have to hit him.' They had armor, but it still hurts. But they didn't seem to mind, evidently they laughed about it afterwards.
