When asked about the possibility of the actor playing in Rings, his representatives informed the Insider that &#8220;there&#8217;s been no talk of that,&#8221; denying both rumors that the thesp might play Legolas in the films or that he might team up with wife Sadie Frost for the characters Faramir and Galadriel.<\/p>\n<p><b>Hopkins, Lewis Pass On &#8216;Rings&#8217;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You can cross Anthony Hopkins and Daniel Day<br \/>\nLewis off the checklist of potential actors for the<br \/>\nLord of the Rings trilogy. Michael De Luca of New Line Cinema commented to Rings fans that &#8220;Daniel Day Lewis passed, unfortunately. So did Anthony Hopkins. The problem with the name actors is that it&#8217;s a 14 month shoot, with no time for them to do other films in between. This leads you into more unknown actors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Combs Not Joining &#8216;Rings&#8217;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Reports that actor Jeffrey Combs (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) has been cast as Grimah Wormtongue in the Lord of the Rings movies are &#8220;absolutely 100% untrue,&#8221; according to a representative for the actor. While Combs was in fact up for the role at one point, he will not be playing the part, I was informed. As previously reported Combs will be seen this October in Dark Castle&#8217;s remake of The House on Haunted Hill, starring Geoffrey Rush.<\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Xoanon here with 3 reports from Cinescape Law Not Up For &#8216;Rings&#8217; Despite months of rumors indicating such&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[130],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22225","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-old-main-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1tLoH-5Mt","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22225","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22225"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22225\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22225"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
