Hullo Hall of Fire fans!
New topic up and ready: supporting characters of LotR. Who’s your favorite? Why do you choose this specific character? For the purposes of our chat, we’ll define ‘main characters’ as the Nine Walkers: Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Aragorn, Gandalf, Boromir, Gimli, and Legolas. Any and all other characters are fair game as ‘supporting characters,’ although opinions may differ on this definition of terms.
Look up a juicy quote or two, or be ready to share with us your impressions and thoughts about your pick. Is there a particular deed or scene that comes to mind? So who’s it gonna be? Hama? Ioreth? Prince Imrahil? Ghan-buri-Ghan?
This will be a fun chat, so jump on over and chime in.
Thanks!

Direct from a super secret source deep in the mines of Moria comes a bunch of casting scripts from ‘Three Foot Six’. These are the scripts that the casting directors make the actor hopefulls read before them to see if they have the right ‘stuff’. Perhaps you’ve seen Mark Hamill or Henry Thomas (Eliot from E.T.) doing their auditions, it’s very a very interesting procedure (as far as I’m concerned at least!). What I wouldn’t give to see some of these audition tapes!
The small snippets of script that I have may not even make it into the final takes due to time or dialogue changes, yet it’s still an interesting read! While I cannot post them directly, I will read them all, compare them to the two Miramax scipts I’ve read, as well as the books, and write something up soon! Keep an eye out!
The scripts I have are for the characters: two for Aragorn, Arwen, Bilbo, Boromir, Denethor, Elrond, Eowyn, Faramir, two for Frodo, Galadriel, Gandalf, Gimli, Legolas, Merry, Pippin, two for Sam, Saruman, Theoden, and Wormtongue
Cinescape is reporting on the E! Online ‘Force of the Hobbit’ section they have. Most of it seems to be confirmting news we’ve posted months ago, here’s a re-cap:
E! Online suggests that Liv Tyler is showing the signs of stress brought on by two months of continuous filming. Rumors has it that one scene didn’t work because Tyler “freaked out when Orc armies charged her.”
