Orc of the White Hand from the up coming films:

**schrocat** · 06-29-2001, 10:25 AM

Awesome...looks like my father in law.

How many days left 'til release?

I bet Aragorn has the countdown clicking off on some applet in the corner of his desktop.

Aragorn · 06-29-2001, 10:37 AM

I'm being patient....I can wait...No hurry.....AAAAAAARGH!!

He needs to floss!

I am so excited for this one. I am actually halfway through reading Silmarillion(sp?) for the first time, and am loving it.

Does it bother anyone that they aren't having Tom Bombadil in the movie? I thought they were trying to replicate the book as much as possible, but the more I read, the more I worry. I am still not too sure about the elisia wood thing...but we'll see how it pans out.

The trailer is pretty sweet.

I still think Sean Connery should have been Gandalf (sp?)

here's another:

thezookeeper · 06-29-2001, 03:41 PM

Yes. I was kinda upset or shall I say, disappointed that Tom Bombadill was not going to be in the story. I figured since they are making it a true trilogy, they should have plenty of time for him. But alas, at least the epic is finally being put to film! I think, just maybe that it's release date will be December 25, 2001. But I do believe that December is correct at least.

Trapper · 06-29-2001, 09:25 PM

December 19, ok. Well maybe I'm wrong. I really don't want to wait in any line to find out their sold out . So maybe you all should just stick with the later date and be sure to spread it all around, allright.

Mikeman · 06-30-2001, 01:26 AM

Do you guys have a website you visit?

I can't wait until it comes out

also did they release the script? How do you know tom isn't in it?

Mikeman · 06-30-2001, 01:29 AM

I forgot

is Silmarillion the correct spelling, I'm going to the library tommorrow to check it out

Bojinx · 06-30-2001, 08:24 AM

your git it Mikeman.... The Silmarillion

Trapper · 06-30-2001, 08:38 AM

There are quite a few site's on Tolkien and the upcoming movie's. The one I like is http://www.theonering.net/ . You can find a link to the official sight and download the new trailer there. Come on Dec..

Aragorn · 06-30-2001, 01:00 PM

Yes,
I follow theonering.net too. BTW, here's a link to the countdown:
http://www.theonering.net/movie/dates.html
Dec 19th seems to be the day.

I have a feeling that this movie is going to CREAM all other box office hits by a tremendous margin. I loved Star Wars and other hits, but LOTR is going to be the the #1 money maker for years(decades?) to come.

I'm looking forward to the events on Weathertop and, of course, the Mines of Moria.

Lord of the Rings - It's a movie (actually a series of movies) based on the books by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Mandarin1 · 07-03-2001, 08:43 PM

thanks mandarin

yanasina · 07-05-2001, 01:31 PM

I first read TLOR when I was eleven or so. It has become THE book all others are measured against and are poor imitations of. I haven't made the book into my private religion, but I am worried about the movie because I have spent years building my own concept of the books. There can't be anything that could live up to my own mind pictures.
