Every year at Fantastic Fest, they hold an event called Fantastic Debate where celebrities, filmmakers, and film critics engage in a head–to–head battle. First, they have themselves a podium debate over a specific topic, and then they move to the boxing ring, where words are not necessary.
This year brings with it an interesting little match–up. Elijah Wood, star of everything from the new FX hit series, Wilfred, to films like Lord of the Rings, Sin City and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, threw down a challenge to LOST star and his LOTR co–star, Dominic Monaghan.
Continue reading for more and to check out videos of Wood’s challenge and Monaghan’s response.
It began with Wood recording a very professional wrestling–worthy video, challenging Monaghan to the bout. Wood definitely brings it with the trash talking (possibly assisted by the beneficial qualities of some liquid courage). Monaghan’s response proves that he’s getting in shape…kinda…but he might not be quite as confident.
Oh, and what will the duo be debating before entering the boxing ring to toss hands? Well, the merits of World of Warcraft, of course.
