Okay I was afraid to do this while the movies were still filming (not sure why just a foreboding) but now that their done here go's. 1. If you could go back and be the caster who would you have chosen for. . .? (1)The nine walkers (2)Galadriel (3)Bilbo (4)Eowyn (5)Arwen And anyone else you would like. 2. Chose the worst posible actors/actreses you can think of to play the above. Me and some of my Tolkienly inclined friends did this and it was great! So try it out express your feelings with 1. and have fun with 2.

This really weird 70's theme hit me when I saw this question. And I just had to share it. 1) The nine walkers: The cast of the Brady Bunch (including Alice). Gollum would be that kid that played cousin Oliver. 2)Galadriel: Chrissy from Three's Company (a FotR chapter title, sort of) 3)Bilbo: Don Knotts 4)Eowyn: Janet from Three's Company (There it is again!) 5)Arwen: Cheryl Ladd (A Charlie's Angel) I don't have a BEST list yet.

That is real cute, I wish I could come up with such an All-Star cast, but I can't.

Gwaihir the Windlord

01-04-2001, 02:36 AM

This is above me. But the worst actor for Aragorn (in the Medeavil field of acting) would be the guy that played the dragonslayer in Dragonheart. Gwaihir the Windlord <A href="http://www.barrowdowns.com">the barrow-downs</A> 'Sing now, ye people of the Tower of Anor, for the Realm of Sauron is ended for ever, and the Dark Tower is thrown down.'

oh come on RKittle thats was wonderful! But the rest of you come on, please just try. I agree with Gwaihir, he would be terrible, but I think Don Knotts would be worse as Arogorn.

Re: Better cast/Disaster cast Made-for-TV LotR: Aragorn = David Hasselhoff Galadriel = Jaclyn Smith (second choice: Jane Seymour) Gandalf = Wilford Brimley Gimli = Danny DeVito Legolas = Stuart French Boromir = Scott Baio Faramir = Noah Wylie [Note: no budget for expensive digital effects, so we have to go with short actors for the Hobbits.] Frodo = Michael J. Fox Sam = Joe Pesci Merry = Luke Perry Pippin = Jason Priestly Gollum = David Spade Arwen = Carmen Electra Éomer = Dolph Lundgren Elrond = Harry Hamlin The Gaffer = Jerry Stiller (George's Dad on Seinfeld) ...and introducing Britney Spears as Éowyn

Re: Better cast/Disaster cast Since everyone seems to have been stunned into speechlessness by my made-for-TV cast, let me introduce my all-black cast into the resounding silence. Gandalf = Morgan Freeman Gollum = Urkel Frodo = Will Smith Sam = Chris Rock Pippin = Marlon Wayans Merry = Omar Epps Aragorn = Denzel Washington Boromir = LL Cool J Faramir = Cuba Gooding Jr. Legolas = Taye Diggs Gimli = Roc Galadriel = Whitney Houston Theoden = Danny Glover Denethor = Bill Duke Saruman = Samuel L. Jackson Elrond = Robert Guillaume Éowyn = Angela Bassett Arwen = Tyra Banks

What I would have chosen: (1)The nine walkers: You're not supposed to see their faces, so what does it matter? (2)Galadriel: Michelle Pfeiffer (3)Bilbo: That cute little guy from "Willow" (4)Eowyn: Maybe Drew Barrymore? (5)Arwen: Sophie Marceau Worst: (1)The nine walkers: either The Jackson 5, *NSync, or the Green Bay Packers (2)Galadriel: Roseanne (3)Bilbo: David Suchet (the guy from Poirot) (4)Eowyn: That girl from 3rd Rock (5)Arwen: ...other than Liv? maybe Yoko Ono?

Disaster Cast I would have thought that Arnold would be chosen as Aragorn...

Ah, that is brilliant, brilliant stuff.

Zoe

01-30-2001, 11:38 PM

Re: Kenny Loggins!!! "Feetloose"! Lol! Perhaps, seeing as the movie was filmed in NZ, the soundtrack could be composed by New Zealand bands. Except I can't think of any as examples...

KayQy

02-01-2001, 12:40 PM

New Zealand Bands I know of a NZ band called the Lads. Their album is called Lost @ Sea, and some of the songs would be good, though I'm not sure where in the story they'd fit. A couple of their songs have been played on Dawson's Creek, though I'm not sure that recommends them to anyone here... The days are fated to be filled with marvels.

02-01-2001, 02:06 PM

Re: New Zealand Bands I can't see a soundtrack being very good for LotR, unless it was Kenny Loggins or maybe Bonnie Tyler(I need a Hero/Hobbit) or how about Men at Work.

The Barrow-Wight

02-01-2001, 02:24 PM

Re: Bonnie Tyler Bonnie Tyler! Another great suggestion! Wow! We are a smart bunch. She also did "Total Eclipse of the Heart", right? Dunno why, but Bonnie brings Eowyn to mind. Perhaps she should have played Eowyn and sang the funeral dirge of Theoden. I just had a totally unrelated thought. Do you realize that when the movies are released, sitcoms will do small parodies of them to get a laugh (dream sequences and such). Further, cartoons will jump on the bandwagon. Which brings me to the epiphany that jumpstarted this paragraph - The Chipmunks! These are the people that should have played the hobbits. And Dave would be Gandalf. "Pippin!"..... "Pippin".... Piiiiiiipppppeeennnn!" And just imagine them performing the songs sung by the hobbits.

Reeeealy bad casting Having too much fun with this: Following are stand-ins and stunt doubles Saraman = Lee Marvin Fatty Bolger = Norm Peterson Tom Bombadil = Fred Astaire Butterbur = Drew Carey Jimmy Stewart = Frodo Isildur = Tyrone Power Alan Alda = Merry Wild Man of the Forest = Tim Allen Arwen = Demi Moore Paths of the Dead, Dead Man = Humphrey Bogart Galadriel - Kathrine Hepburn Legolas = Errol Flynn Bree Tavern = Jamie Farr Denathor = Boris Karloff Celeborn = Marlon Brando Bill the Pony = Dick Van Dyke Faramir = Tom Selek Boromir = Burt Reynolds Theoden = Edward G. Robinson Eowyn = Kes or 7 of 9? Shire Ruffian = Regis Filben Dunadain = Ted Dansen Barrow Wight = The Crock Hunter Sam's wife Rose: Betty White Gandalf's Horse = Ceasar Romero Treebeard = Herman Munster Aragorn = Sylvester Stalone Gollum = Dana Carvey Gandalf = Charleton Heston

I like the way you think. This is casting outside the box! Who would have ever thought of the 6'4" Jimmy Stewart to play a Hobbit?! <Jimmy Stewart voice> "Wha-wha-what's that you say? To Mordor?! I'm not going to Mordor!".... "Merry Christmas Lothlorien! Merry Christmas, Rivendell! Merry Christmas you old Bag End!" The Crock Hunter as the Barrow-wight! "Crikey! This Hobbit's a beauty! Look at the distinctive fur on his feet. Whoa! You're cranky, aren't ya? You're okay!" Jamie Farr as Nob, that's a fit, but Edward G. Robinson is truly unique casting. "I'm not coming back from this ride alive, see?" You've outdone yourself.

Rodney Dangerfield is wasted as Butterbur -- he should be playing Gandalf! He always comes on strong at the end of his movies; I can hear his line-reading of "I too am steward. Did you not know?" like he was standing right in front of me.

Do you know how much money I would pay to see Mr T as Boromir?!? "I pity the foo who don't give me da ring!" This thread has done alot of damage, I'm having night terrors at the thought of John Travolta as Legolas... In all seriousness, the chick from along came a spider would've been a good Eowyn, I think, I can't complain too much about the rest of the cast...though I agree Gary Coleman should've been SOMETHING. Ghan-buri-ghan?? I'm liking some of the rock themes: Aragorn: Mick Jagger (can't you see him doing that chicken walk in the midst of Pellannor?) Gandalf: Bob Dylan (no one understands the full meaning of what either of them say, right?) Elladan & Elrohir: Simon & Garfunkel No, no, I can't do it anymore...it hurts to much to mar my poor LOTR! ~ Elerrina ('Crowned with stars'; a name of Taniquetil; Only thing that wasn't taken) 'Many are the strange chances of the world,'said Mithrandir,'and help oft shall come from the hands of the weak when the Wise falter."

I think everyone in the first movie was cast brilliantly anyway,the only person I would change would be Kate Blanchett as Galadriel, she was RUBBISH Anyone else would be better than her, except Britney Spears, she should be put down this instant, Oh, or Mariah Carey, in fact no-one who sings should ever be allowed onstage

02-24-2002, 02:02 PM

I think the cast they picked was really good. I really liked Gandalf, Ian McKellan did an absolutely wonderful job protraying him! And Of course, who would want to change Legolas, Orlando Bloom is soooooo perfect!!! *passes out on the floor at the name of Orlando Bloom*

Orlando Bloom is EXTREMELY gorgeous, but noone could ever be as gorgeous, sweet-natured, hunky, and downright SEXY as Viggo Mortensen/Aragorn, mind you he wouldn't look half as good with short hair, but come on, I mean YUM!

Wow, Boromir, that sheild would just go great with my dinnerware!"Gandalf: Pam AndersonBill the Pony: Arnold Schwarzenegger. Merry and Pippin: The guys who sang the macarena song.Oh and I know an Aussie band that could do the soundtrack! 30 Odd Foot of Grunts. You wanna know if it's bad? Well, I'll tell you who sings in it. Russell Crowe. Does that answer the question? Yes, Britney Spears as the Mouth of Sauron! Actually, no. I don't want her even in the movie, even if she plays a part like that!Now for the music theme Gandalf: Marylin Manson Aragorn: that singer from Poison (oh and the leopard skin cowboy hat would go great!)

I think for the disaster cast they should use the cast of the Goonies(I hoped I spelled it right.) And Sean Astin will not be Sam in this version. Frodo:Mikey Sam:Mikeys mom Merry:Chunk Pippin:Sloth Arwen:Andy Eowyn:Martha Plimptons character (I forgot her name) Aragorn:Mikey's brother Sauron:Troy's Dad Saurman:Troy The orcs:The Fatellies(Especially Joey Pants character) Treebeard:The old man reporter at the end of the film King Theodon:Mr. Walsh Eomer: Data The Mouth of Sauron:Mrs. Fatelli Gandalf:Mouth Gollum/Smeagol:Rosalita (Thinks theat Frodo has drugs and certain other devices) Bilbo: Mrs. Walsh Elrond: The dead government agent guy stuck in the freezer. Legolas:The officer who thinks that Chunk makes stuff up all the time.That would be an interesting disaster cast.
