I have to agree.Valkrist wrote: Is it wrong to wish this rumour dies a quick death?
.... PJ managed to mangle some of the [Hobbit] lore beyond recognition, and to introduce inventions of his own that were more of a detriment to the story than adding anything of substantial value. Do we really want him to run roughshod all over the appendices and use questionable creative license over the enormous amount of blank space between those entries?
... Think about how much of the plot of The Hobbit was expanded and sidetracked in the movies, multiply that by a factor of ten...
Please, just no.
I doubt PJ would consider anyone but Viggo in that role, but I don't think he or anyone at WB are even contemplating this idea at all, so it is moot.Valkrist wrote:Oh you can bet they will be foaming at the mouth at the chance to recast Aragon with the latest Hollywood hunk of the month. Viggo wouldn't even be considered at this point in the game.
Please, no. Chris Pratt is fast becoming the new Benedict Cumberbatch. Hollywood doesn't seem to understand that audiences can become worn out on one actor when he's thrown into just about anything within the space of a couple of years. Yes, Harrison Ford got lucky, but movies did take considerable more time to film and produce back in his day. Now they are churning out movies with the same actor in them at the rate of three per year. PJ hit the jackpot casting relatively low-key actors in LOTR and I would love to see it remain that way. Like GoT, ME is not the proper vehicle for massive star power, where an actor's fame and baggage overshadows the setting and story.Olorin wrote:Chris Pratt, anyone? He's already been mentioned as a possible new Indiana Jones, and I suspect that if he gets that he could also be a new Han Solo, so giving the thinking prevalent in Hollywood, Aragorn can't be far behind.

Any idea why?Nasnandos wrote:I just got an email from WB about the dates in October for the theatrical run of the extended movies. The R rating was rumored weeks ago, but it is confirmed that the BOFA EE will indeed have an R rating.
