Well, did the whole Shire have a memory lapse then? I don't have a quote right now, but it says in the book that people started to notice that he didn't seem to get older after he returned from the quest.

The more Jeremy Irons gets mentioned, the more I see him as Thranduil.

![]() I would love to Andy Serkis as Gollum, Ian Holm as Gandalf, Ian Mckellan as Gandalf and Hugo Weaving as Elrond. 'Twould be nice to have the four hobbits from LOTR be domran crowd hobbits. Yes, methinks that would be spiff.

I think that Craig Parker would do a great Smaug voice. He did do some of the voice of the RingWraiths, and other characters.

Here's my two cents:
Bilbo: Ian Holm, you'd be supprised what make-up can do Smaug: voice would be really cool with James Earl Jones! Gandalf: Ian McKellen (I can't spell his name) and if Orlando make his appearance, I will be very happy As for everyone else, I haven't the slightest idea

Bilbo: Vern Troyer
Gandalf: John Cleese Oakenshield: Tim Curry (equipped with the accent he had in Congo) Thranduil: Gene Hackman I think my choices are pretty self-explanatory. Any objections? ![]() Last edited by Son of Númenor; 08-11-2004 at 11:12 AM. |

I'm sorry. I just don't see Vern Troyer as Bilbo. Though he is short, he simply doesn't personify the character for me. Oh well, to each his own.

Ok, here's what I think:
For Smaug, I really think it should be Andy Serkis, the same with gollum. For Bilbo, they should get some young unknown that looks like Ian Holm, not Ian Holm himself. He's way way way too old. I do think that Legolas should make some uncanny appearance, but just when it seems that he couldn't. ![]() As for the news about PJ actually making the Hobbit, I haven't heard anything definate, but I do believe that he might make it. At least that's what I've heard. ![]()

I'm sure about PJ doing "The Hobbit" yet, either. Last I heard, New Line Cinema hand't asked him yet. I sure hope they don't! "The Hobbit" is a light-hearted children's book, and Mr. Jackson would turn it into something dark for sure. He did that with LOTR, except that it's supposed to be dark. And hey, I cut him some slack - the guy makes obscure zombie movies, for goodness sake! But anyhow, if he's going to have to do it anyway, here's what I have to say.
I disagree that Ian Holm's too old to play Bilbo, although he IS practically a living fossil. I still think he could do an adequate job; besides, it would be weird for someone else to do it! Andy Serkis for Gollum AND Smaug? I hadn't ever thought of that... Weird. Definetely weird. I want John Rhys-Davies back as Balin. That would be perfect! |
