There was some talk of Nicholas Cage as well, supposedly. Talk about dodging a bullet!

I think I want it in the form of an outtakes reel, accompanied by quite extraordinary amounts of alcohol.

It's like watching the abandoned footage of the half BACK TO THE FUTURE they shot with Eric Stolz as Marty being intense as hell before they replaced him with Michael J. Fox.

Is it true that prior to full production starting, Peter Jackson had James Earl Jones scheduled to do the voice of Sauron? I think I heard that somewhere.

I didn't expect to have an emotional reaction to seeing the Trees on screen for the first time but hell, why not.

Premieres next Autumn with weekly episodes :)

I WAS NOT EXPECTING FUCKING VALINOR, OR THE TREES TO BE IN THE SERIES....SILMARILLION CONTENT IS SO WELCOME!

Sorry, I'm damned excited!

Valmar/Tirion looks incredible.

Re-watch of the EE's indeed sir!

It took me a moment as I wondered what human city in ME this was....and then I saw the trees and realized that I was looking at Valmar...and literal shivers ran down my arms.
