Demosthenes dreamed up a wonderful topic to discuss and debate in The Hall of Fire<\/a> for our March 24th and 25th chats:<\/p>\n

Sauron, the Movies, and Me<\/b><\/p>\n

The rumor mill has been grinding out lots of interesting information about the Master of Mordor, the Disciple of Doom, the number one Evil Power of Middle-earth’s Third Age, Sauron (ok I made those up, but ya know…) It’s time to hash over what we’ve heard, things like:<\/p>\n

LOTR scriptwriter Philippa Boyens comments to the effect that she has written two scenes in which Sauron appears…<\/i><\/p>\n

only two?<\/p>\n

“As screenwriters, we totally agree Sauron is far more fascinating as a force of evil than as an actual presence.”<\/i><\/p>\n

… yet we’ve heard about what he looks like… and seen lots of recent Sauron images in the news…<\/p>\n

Lots of questions to explore here. What do you think the Dark Lord should look like in the movies? Sauron the armour-wearing axe murderer vs crowned machiavellian type? Will he have a speaking role? What kind of special effects might be employed to bring him to the screen? What are your images and thoughts of this character?<\/p>\n
