[the phantom]

Check out this thread- <A HREF="http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=4&t=001728" TARGET=_blank>http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=4&t=001728</A> <BR>It's pretty much the same subject.<P>I also mentioned Joquin Phoenix in that thread, but I nominated him to play Feanor, not Sauron. That's always what I imagined Feanor looking like.<P>And don't feel bad Estella, I remember posting on a thread one time and nominating Natalie Portman to play Luthien. Just like you said, she was the prettiest actress I could think of off the top of my head.<P>And I think it would be best if they would just make a movie out of one story, like one centered on Feanor beginning with his birth and ending with his death.<P>The story that would work the best, I think, would be the story of the children of Hurin. It could start off with a bang at the Battle of Unumbered Tears, and end with Turin's death. Here's a quote from one of my buddies, Lord of Dor-Lomin, (it's on the thread I gave a link to) about turning Turin's story into a movie.<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Right on, Tealdude3, Turin's story seems to be the one with the most groundwork provided. Not only that, but I think it's the best, most dramatic story. If it was well written and directed, people would be crying through the whole movie. Can you get any more action and emotion anywhere else?<BR>to illustrate, here's the basic movie outline:<P>(little sis dies, daddy captured, has to leave mommy, kills some bad guys, wrongfully accused, kills some bad guys, does bad things and feels bad, kills some more bad guys, mistakenly kills best friend, kills a bunch more bad guys, goes back home and mom is gone, kills a few more bad guys, loses Finduilas, kills some bad guys, marries sister, kills big dragon, siter/wife kills herself, he kills himself)<P>The whole story is either extreme action or extreme emotion! With the right director, I honestly believe it would be a huge hit.<P>Unfortunately, I have no clue who should play Turin. He would have to have a young pretty face, and also be tall, because it said that most people looking at Turin figured he was an elf from one of the great houses. And obviously, he'd have to be strong and athletic to make him believable as a great warrior.<P>I have a couple friends who could play a couple parts. My friend Angela is tall (6'2"), blonde, and really hot, and she'd make a great Nienor (and she's done acting before, as well as advertising). And I have a buddy, he's known round here as the phantom, that would make a great Hurin (and, of course, you'd want to show Hurin's last stand even though the movie's primarily about Turin). <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>I think I'd make an excellent Hurin. I'm a bit shorter than average, I have blonde hair, I joke a lot, I'm very loyal, I never say die, and I have an endless store of energy (now that I'm running again anyway).<P>And yeah, James Earl Jones's voice would be great, no matter what part he would be playing.<p>[ August 25, 2003: Message edited by: the phantom ]
