Galadriel in "The Hobbit?" - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Mithalwen · 01-04-2010, 07:05 AM

I think the idea of a link movie has been dropped and it is going to be Hobbit in two parts (I am not sure this will work but I guess they think it will make them more money and that is in short supply atm) . Unless they decide to sub a Lorien interlude (which doens't tie with the established hostility between silvan elves and dwarves) for the Beorn sequence which doesn't really fit the movie-verse already created, it will have to be White Council for Galadriel and that would surely include Saruman too.

I think I read that Sir Christopher is not up to returning to NZ but since this is away from the main plot I don't see why the White Council could not be filmed in the UK - Blanchett and Weaving do loads of stuff here anyway.

Galadriel will be in White Council scenes. Yes, that will be the added fan-fic aspect of the two-film Hobbit extravaganza. You didn't think Peter Jackson would allow a simple retelling of the linear tale, did you?

It wouldn't be all that much of a stretch (certainly not for
PJ and friends) to have Galadriel at the White Council and at
the siege of Dol Guldur. More screen time for Gandalf, a
big battle scene, and not such a long gap of Gandalf in the
two hobbit movies. (Splice in seperately the White Council and
Dol Guldur, perhaps when Bilbo battles the giant spiders and
when he helps the dwarves escape from Legolas's daddy).

Now what elf might be in that drinking scene with the butler?

May I say?

Well,both Legolas and Galadriel are not that much of an irrartional comeback,indeed.But Aragorn...perhaps as a young teen in Rivendel and nothing more.

Well according to me it is really a very quite amusing that Sir Ian McKellen was on board from the very start. His role of Gandalf and all that goes it is very impressive. The looks of it is forced his way in with staff in hand.

Wow, these bots get better every day. Almost had me fooled there for a second.

Not even that. Aragorn was born in 2931 and the Quest of Erebor was in 2941. Aragorn would be a 10 year old boy. Somehow, I *don't* think Viggo (good as he is) could be a convincing 10 year old "Estel" (remember that he didn't even know yet that his real name was Aragorn or that he was Isuldur's heir) - or that he would want to try.

No problem for PJ. He'd just age him to about 20
and put in the movie the first meeting of Aragorn and Arwen.
(Hey, after wargs on steroids, dwarf tossing, rather
dim-witted ents, etc., you think that would be a problem for him)?

I don't think that Viggo Mortensen would do it ... so he might as well cast a 10 year old.
