Your opinion about Saruman

www.theonering.net/movie/.../large/333

that´s a link to the pict that recently has appeared over all the fan sites. I like it. The beard, the hood, the staff... all´s okay. But...

why that pict has so low quality? are that beard and hood real? i wish to know the opinion of those of you who know how to alter an image with Photoshop and similar programs.

It's just an on-set spy photo. Doubtful that it's been altered, even though you CAN alter it all you want. Someone would have discovered it by now.

Now... no brimmed hat? I'm sure it says several times he wears a brimmed hat... well, perhaps not all the time then.

The image could have been faked, but then so could have every image from LOTR we've seen so far. Ok, I HATE the look!!! That staff is horrible!!! And like Parrot pointed out, where's the hat??? I am getting less and less happy with these movies

Maybe the pic was taken during a break in filming.....he laid his hat down to wipe his brow. Come on ppl don't lose faith!

Actually, losing some faith wouldn't hurt. Then the films will turn out way better than we expect!

(((Psst, IP, I agree, as a matter of fact I try to be a pesimist about them for this very reason. Don't tell me about this though, I try to hide it from myself)))

he does need a hat, & the look of that staff is a little too cliche. & i've always imagined saruman as having this angular, shady-looking face that just screamed at you when you looked at him - this guy looks too un-devious.

and concerning this movie, i'd much rather be pesimistic & surprised than optimistic & have another mediocre TPM-ish experience.

WEll, if you've seen any of Lee's other performances (emphasis on his dracula) then you know he can be quite frightening. That pic was most likely taken during a break.

I'd have to agree with Tater on that one.

Umm...I think I pointed that one out. :P

I believe you pointed out that his not wearing the hat didn't mean he didn't have one. You didn't talk about his acting. :P

Nonono. Of course Lee is a good actor. I was agreeing with Tater in the respect that the photo was probably taken during a break.

Quoted from auduin's post from above:

Maybe the pic was taken during a break in filming.....

.

Now look what you have done.....gone and made me competitive too. :P

Oops, oops, oops.

Yeah, well I have a cooler sig then you!

Lee who? i didn't recognize the actor.

& as people so wisely pointed out, if "it was taken during a break in the filming," than i probably said anything about his lack-of-evil-looks.

Christopher "Dracula/Saruman/Unknown character in Star Wars Episode II" Lee.

I always pictured Saruman to be someone... like Ian McDiarmid(sp) with a long, fuzzy beard. But he's okay. Never seen him act before so I can't prejudice too much.

Yeah, I think he's okay...

If only the Christopher Lee picture had the hat! I think it's the only thing missing from my image of Saruman...

Now, of course, this is when he's still Saruman the White. I wonder what he'll look like when he becomes Saruman of Many Colors...
