Arwen Evenstar
We’ve been hearing a lot about Liv Tyler in the news lately, so we thought we’d talk about her character Arwen for our next Hall of Fire chat. Clearly an essential, albeit behind-the-scenes character, Lady Undomiel is peerless in her time on Middle-earth. She makes one of the greatest sacrifices an Elf can give, yet we read more of her in the Appendixes of Return of the King then throughout the trilogy. Early LotR movie rumors and gossip often turned to Arwen’s character in the films as Tolkien purists recoiled at the thought of expanding her roll in the plot and perhaps taking creative license with her personality. Now we can actually hear her speak Elvish!
We offer three sessions for our discussions. First-timers are always welcome!

Thanks to Ringer fans Tim and Paul for sending in the latest Liv Tyler (Arwen) media mentions. [More]
Liv is all over the place as “One Night at McCool’s” opens in the US.
Ringer Paul sends in this from CNN.com:
“Hey there. Just saw an article on Liv Tyler’s performance in “One Night at McCool’s” on CNN.com, it mentioned her role in FOTR, as well as the fact that TTT and ROTK are coming in ’02 and ’03.” [More]
Ringer Tim sends in these mentions from the UK:
“First off,Total Film has a “I’m-reading-this-for-McCool’s,honest” interview with Liv Tyler. A couple of quotes:
“Peter did not lose his cool once.And I’ve never seen that happen.Not even on a normal film….I was just so impressed.”
She says acting as an elf “…has f**cked me forever because I now sound English and I want to sound like a New Yorker!”
Also,next month’s Deamwatch magazine is due to have an interview with Liv. PURELY about LOTR… “
Thanks guys for sending in this info!
