i was just reading thro stuff on imdb and it send that uma thurman was orginally cast as the character eowyn ... good job she didn't end up being her i think she would of ruined it .... neways this is wat it sed

Originally cast for the part of Eowyn in the 2nd LoTR movie, The Two Towers

welllllllll how do we know that she would have ruined it!?!?!? Uma Thurman is a great actress and could do any role properly. And if she was the original cast then she would have been the only person we knew as Eowyn and to us she would have been perfect.

But the people of ROhan are TALL people, so casting someone of Uma's height makes sence. lol but then they would have to get allllll the guys over 6 ft also.

yeah but her face is to familir to put into a film like lotr ... imagine putting johnny depp in as grima wormtongue...it just wouldn't work

Well, Stuart Townstead was originally casted for Aragorn... but they fired him because he was way too young for it. I don't think I could really imagine him as Aragorn anyway.

thats cause we have these faces from LOTR etched into our minds. We cant conceives of anyone else being there.
If they had kept Townsend on as Aragorn and played it well, we would have been going........viggo who??? oh god no!! and stuff like that.

As good an actress is Uma, she could not have carried the kind of quality that Miranda portrayed of Eowyn...Being tall and blonde are not a requisite for being cast as Eowyn...

Townsend was fired not only because he looked young, which btw would be a lame reason, but because he conflicted with the writer and director's view of how Aragorn is portrayed...

jackson hired him to fire him.

to shoe em whos boss

that...or they had enough pretty boys in the movie...

Exactly

thats the jist of it, all these fools do not see whatthe mighty fini and eagle "guy" (not guys Thorn :rolleyes

Discos - Discos? who?

I knew that- i said it many a time

sauron!! what the hell is your username all about?

he is stalking you...

lmao

I found this:
Originally auditioned to play the role of "Faramir" in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but lost out on that role and was instead asked to play the role of Legolas.

^ That's for Orlando Bloom, now imagine another Legolas

done

* fini imagines any other good looking skinny guy could fill LEgoals shoes*

actually i read on sky actiive that townsend had to many ideas for his character that jackson didn't want so he changed his mind and hired viggo

I thought Bloom went for the position of Boromir

Discos - perhaps wrong, as usual

no he went for faramir

oh well,

but the characters as we know as now are great, nice "not big names at the time" actors/actresses

Liv Tyler, Bloom, Christopher Lee, Sir Ian Mckellen were some of the big names

all of the actors/actresses will no doubtly have huge offers to be in up-coming blockbusters

Discos - *sigh* we all now Bloom has

cheeky grim....(na that doesnt sound right)

anyways, I thought Gamling was exactly like I pictured him as

exactly what I think...

*begins to raise hand*


Oh...right....Nevermind

I would make a good Eomar,

Discos - but I would.....

i believe u discos

Uma as Eowyn, I cant see it happening

simply because I have got it her in my mind as a hardcore junkie swords women

when you see someone else from a movie and they are in lord of the rings it strikes something in you

like Ian in X-Men, makes a great bad guy but also makes a great good guy

i agree with u there discos... like i sed there faces are to familir for another reason... like kill bill in this case ...

meh, when I read the book I would never of faced Elrond with Hugo

also I thought the hobbits were all 50 years old and stuff

when i read the books now i still cant picture the film charcters with them of the book

I found it actually helps, also when I read the books and it is in quotes ie if gandalf is speaking, I always make it out to be Ian's voice

yeah i do that but its gimlis voice that i can never rember properly

think of a lighter voiced treebeard

yeah i have it in my head but when i go to read the books it vanishes... ...

what are you talking about i would of thought that her performance inkill bill would have sealed that up she's crap and i too am glad that she wasnt cast.

LG
When lotr came out kill bill wasnt out.
people would recognise her from pulp fiction, and batman.

at the least people would see kill bill and say 'oh look eowyn'

batman,
bleeding posion ivy

what ever then but i still think she wouldn't have made a very unique eowyn ....

well you havent seen her play the part have you.

no but for me personally i dont think she would make a very good eowyn ....

well you cant say that without seeing he rplay the part

she would certaintly be a better fighter than miranda

she is tall

blonde


she looks the part

she can play the part.

.......................... .

wow, that post was worth the time you spent on it

isn't it just ....

offtopic - I love that smilie

anyways, stop bickering!

im sorry .... bak to uma thurman and eowyn

meh, this thread has lost interest for me,

think there are a few of "what if someone different acted" threads

Uma i think would be a good eowyn

imagine it

Wiki: DIE NOW!
Uma: *five point palm exploding heart trick*
Wiki: Your not a bad person, your my favourite person *walks away and dies*

fare point but haveing seen maranda otto play the part, its kinda hard to imagine anyone else playing the part.

thats kinda wat i was saying just didnt now how to put it into words....

thats what this topic has mainly been speaking about,

Ya cant picture anyone else play the parts can you?

Discos - John Travolta as Boromir "give me the ring, frodo-kins"

no that would be just scary all i can think of is this character in a white suit ARgh

hehe, thats why I said that

Yah but if uma had played eowyn we would be here saying

did you hear this person called miranda otto wanted to be eowyn?

No way

Yeah, heres a pic...


She doesnt look like eowyn! uma was perfect!

Good last point.

We get used to actors/actresses playing a specific role and refuse to imagine anyone else in their place.

very true
