Brónach 1,302 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I totally love some of these and hate some specific ones.I already read that they could have written Bifur that way. It turns out it was true lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alicebrallice 134 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 god... I really need to reread the book. but if I don't, I'll probably have a much fresher (and perhaps better) movie experience. decisions, decisions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I already read that they could have written Bifur that way. It turns out it was true lolAs did I. So I just assumed that was how his character would end up being.And as you said Chaac, loved some of those, hated some of them.Must say though, I liked that picture with what seems to be a conversation between ol' Gandalf and Radagast. All we're missing are some close-up shots of the Bunnies of Doom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Ian McKellen went through all that, and any actor who worked on a Prequel is going, "yeah, so what? Been there, done that, get over it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,716 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I am still at the edge of the Old Forest. I should get a move on before the year is out!Although I have already read the Hobbit this year. Perhaps another read is still in order to refresh the memory.The Empire article contains some interesting tidbits certainly. And the previous article's story of the green screen and Ian McKellen's troubles with it are the unfortunate truth about the special effects driven world of big fantasy films. The actor might have act to nothing for long strecthes of time, not even having the other actors to provide the interaction, which I think is one of the most important ingredients of dynamics in acting, the reaction to a performance. No wonder McKellen was anxious about it and hopefully PJ found ways to minimize his stint in front of mere green screen without any fellow actors.

Incanus 5,716 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Blue and green screen combined with a director, who couldn't direct people if his life depended on it were much more at fault in Prequels so I don't think McKellen's performance is compromised.

Quintus 5,399 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Reading back on this thread a little now, I'm really quite alarmed that McKellen is/was so miserable about being in this again. I think it's my first very real concern about how these films might turn out; because I'm telling you now that shit filters through and translates into broken, uneasy end result. Creature designs should be the least of anyone's worries. Ren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Indeed. McKellen seemed rather enthusiastic in previous interviews so seeing that little bit worried me very much. But seeing as McKellen seems to be rather pleased about the end results in other interviews, my hope is that PJ was able to fix things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once 605 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Another flashback?

ChrisAfonso 186 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Another flashback? Will 90% of the film consist of flashbacks?Of course. It will be a tremendously orchestrated sequence of significant events necessary to set everything in motion, and at the end, Gandalf will walk up to Bag End, Bilbo will look up, and say "Good morning". Gandalf's game-changing retort will be withheld until the beginning of film two, where, finally, the unbearable suspense of how exactly he will react to being addressed in such an ambivalent, if seemingly innocuous way will be revealed, ending the most ingenious cliffhanger in the whole history of cinema.

Quintus 5,399 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Radagast always looked fine; it was just the usual nerd-rage fratinity going ballistic over vague out-of-context thumbnails and bird shit. What's more irritating though is when they eventually come around without ever acknowledging that they breathed all over the thread about it for six months.

Incanus 5,716 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Radagast looks like he is in an arrest mug shot in this image. Sort of Nick Nolte in spirit, after spot o' heavy drinking and driving too fast and crashing his bunny sled (Gandalf and Saruman were in the backseat just as passengers and honestly didn't know Radgy was under influence):This also shows the sophictication scale of the wizards, from the half looney forest hermit to a debonair but corrupted scholar via the travel worn pointy hat stage.
