After a flurry of emails, we can say with 99% accuracy that Harry Sinclair will play the role of Isildur in the upcoming LotR films. When the word was said in the IGN interview, it sounded like Eisldorff, but in fact was Isildur. That ends that debate…hopefully!

A little interesting side note to add her, Harry Sinclair, th kiwi we think who will play Isildur, is also the director of the new Karl Urban (Eomer) comedy ‘The Price of Milk’. [More]

Just a little while ago, we reported on an IGN story that said Harry Sinclair will be playing Eisldorff in the upcoming movies. The character is explained as an ancestor of Aragorn. I was just talking with Ringer Staff member Leo (http://www.lordoftherings.nl) while in Barlimans, and we can’t seem to place any character in all of Tolkien’s work by that name.

However, many fans have written in to suggest “Eisldorff” is bad phonetic spelling of “Isildur.” This is very possible, and hopefully Spence D. (the IGN interviewer) will get back to me with confirmation of this mistake.
