the Hobbit cast wishlist
Posted by u l a n on Tuesday, January 01, 2008 at 11:30 PM.
I have just read MTV.com's article about whom they'd like to see in The Hobbit movie and I have to agree with their choice for Legolas's dear old dad:
!!SPOILERS FOR THE HOBBIT!! (also in the article, they talk about plot points in their character descriptors)
DAVID BOWIE. YES! YES YES YES! I don't know if it's just the timing of this article because I've been worshipping at the temple of Bowie for the past week, but I really would love to see him in The Hobbit.
Hell, I really would love to see him.
He does have experience being a Goblin King, so why not an Elvish King... But then, there's the problem of his puffiness (see here and here). He is turning 61, after all. And Elves are supposed to be ageless. Hmmm. What to do, what to do.
Sayang, a few years ago he would've been just perfect. Like the Bowie here and here.
And imagine if the film was being made at the time when he still looked like this:

AAHHHH.
This blog post is shit. I just wanted to talk about David Bowie and the MTV.com article seemed too good an opportunity to pass up. Hehehe.
Panoorin nyo na lang yung performance nya ng Under Pressure on his Reality tour in 2003(?). Gail Ann Dorsey, the bassist, rocks. =)

Thranduil
Book Says: King of the Silvans, Thranduil leads the Elves of Mirkwood. He imprisons the dwarves when they trespass through his forest, and then demands a share of Smaug's bounty once the dragon is defeated. He is described as having blond hair ... just like his son Legolas.
We Say: If Orlando Bloom doesn't come back for at least a background cameo, we give up. Naturally distrustful of dwarves, Thranduil can be spiteful and terse — but he still possesses the wisdom of his kin. Ideally, the actor cast would be somewhat regal, someone we believe capable of great power but also great benevolence. Ideally, that actor would be somewhat similar in speech and appearance to Orlando Bloom. Ideally, that actor would be David Bowie.
