The second movie...the question is, what does it need to fill in?
--That Saruman has been pushing the question of the Ring aside --Frodo gets adopted by Bilbo --The Sackville-Baggins setup --Gandalf's acquaintance with Aragorn --The Hunt for Gollum, perhaps?

I'm sure a lot of the events of this time taking place in Mirkwood will be pointed at, hopefully.

Someone is writing a brand new movie plot to fill the time between two books of fiction, OMG, the sky is falling.

Funny comic. Thanks for the link.

Not much. I'm more interested in topics where the sky isn't falling.

I'd rather avoid this topic myself.
It depresses me.

By "here" I meant Entmoot generally, not only the topics some find "depressing."
Forgive me, it's just my extroverted self.

It seems to me that a movie that comes after The Hobbit would mostly have to be about Aragorn. For example: his protecting of the Shire and other places, his decision to become a ranger rather than pursuing the throne of Gondor, his relationship with Arwen, his working with Gandalf, etc. That stuff is only hinted at in the Tolkien "canon". It could be done well, or not. I am all for it. To each his/her own. Peace.

Hope is not relevant here - the die was cast in the LOTR movies, the Hobbit film will be consistent and so we'll see a real man struggling with real doubts. Personally, this was one of the facets of the movies I liked best (I found the Aragorn of the book admirable but not complex, the type of simplified character one might expect the Hobbit Red Book of Westmarch authors to prefer but not like one typically finds in real life).
And yes, I know I'm in the minority on the forum and you all disagree.

At one point in his life, that is what he did. I am not making that up. Later, in Lord of the Rings he changed his mind. When he met the hobbits
in Bree, he was a ranger, not someone pursuing the throne of Gondor. I am quite interested in a so-called "bridge" movie, but I can understand why one wouldn't be. If that is the case, don't go see it when it comes out. Peace.

Er...this sounds pretty much from the movie, not from the book. Do you have any textual evidence for this? Because this certainly isn't the feeling I got.

I guess he would write a lengthy official application for the Crown of the United Kingdom with lots of appendices (including a complete genealogical tree of Isildur's Line and drawings of the Heirlooms of his house: the scepter of Annuminas, the shards of Narsil, the Ring of Barahir, the Elendilmir etc. - all this certified by signatures of three witnesses). A blood sample for DNA test would be helpful, too. Then with the application submitted to the Council of Gondor, the applicant would settle in Minas Tirith and wait for long years until the Council of Gondor has time to discuss the Application and reject it. Nice life for a wannabe King! Last edited by Gordis : 06-22-2008 at 09:36 AM. |

LOL! You can use me as a reference for when you apply for the satire version screenwriting gig, Gordis!

I gotta say I'm a bit edgy as to what look they'll give Greenwood (Mirkwood). The descriptions in Tolkien's works vary, all according to what part of the forest is entangled in darkness or not.. but really my imagionation portrays Greenwood as a lush, green forest where there are areas of deadened, dark trees, but mostly great swathes of oak and beech, a Deciduous forest A green wood which you can get really, really lost in. I can even imagine areas that resemble Fangorn Forest.. which would mean.. maybe there are Ents in Greenwood too? (wishful thinking)

I see Mirkwood as mostly deciduous also. And not as dead as what one might expect, even in the murkiest parts. Sauron hasn't been there that long and creatures like spiders and black squirrels need something to eat.
I would expect the contrast between the areas held by elves and the murky areas to be stark.
