Entmoot's LotR Remake: Casting Call

Finrod Felagund · 01-19-2004, 01:25 PM

I am casting director, if you would like a part please post which part here, and a pic if possible.
If a major part let me know if you have any acting experience and list in what.

(Acting experience may not play a big role in casting, but it's nice to know.)

All crew members who wish a part also post here, and if there are roles we feel can only be filled by professional actors, post your suggestions here. Thanks.

You may not get a major role, you may get a different role than you want, but everyone will at least be able to be in it, even if you are a random elf in Lorien. I'll try my best to be fair and cast the best for the job. Thanks for your co-operation.

hectorberlioz · 01-19-2004, 01:28 PM

good going Finrod

.
I think I want to be Nob.

I always did like those two Hobbits, Nob and Bob.
we'll need also need...darn! what do you call em!

oh, doubles.

btw-you need to make a list of people who are already cast.

Falagar · 01-19-2004, 01:32 PM

Yeah, just ignore my claim to play Legolas.

Still: Legolas.

hectorberlioz · 01-19-2004, 01:34 PM

of course

, you dont actually think I'm going to let you back out of this project, do you?

SamNotSoWise · 01-19-2004, 01:44 PM

Request: Faramir. My pic is in my avatar (I'm the Dad).

Minor acting experience in school and church plays.

I'm forty-something with dark hair with some gray (or grey if you're English) and a beard.

If only a minor role is to be mine, that's fine. Any random man will do (I'm not pretty enough for an elf nor do I want to shave my beard, which also excludes being a hobbit), or I could possibly be a random dwarf.

hectorberlioz · 01-19-2004, 01:49 PM

maybe you could be Anborn, SamNSW

.

SamNotSoWise · 01-19-2004, 01:54 PM

A play on words, right? I think I get it!

As my profile says, "almost as many children as Samwise!"

hectorberlioz · 01-19-2004, 02:00 PM

you havent forgotten anborn I hope...
faramir's best bowman...

SamNotSoWise · 01-19-2004, 02:13 PM

No, I didn't forget him. He was the one who wanted to kill Gollum when Gollum was "fishing" in the Forbidden Pool. I just thought there was a pun there too!

hectorberlioz · 01-19-2004, 02:18 PM

oh, lol, I didnt notice the pun though...
what did you think it was?

SamNotSoWise · 01-19-2004, 02:22 PM

Emphasis on the BORN part of Anborn. I have a lot of kids (10).

hectorberlioz · 01-19-2004, 02:50 PM

ooooohhh

...I see. lol, hilarious.(I am #5 of 11)

Finrod Felagund · 01-19-2004, 03:41 PM

Hector, I'll post the cast members here at the top in my original post. As for doubles, we can find those later okay?

SamNotSoWise, Sry but I can't see you, the pic's too small. And everyone remember to post acting experience if any.
I thought Nob was a Hobbit and Bob a man... oh well

I played a monkey in a school-play as a kid. Does that count?

Nerdanel · 01-19-2004, 04:03 PM

I would be thrilled if I could be Wormtongue!

I have done some acting in school like 3 years ago. If I can't be Wormtongue, I'd love to be an Uruk-hai; anyone of them!

I serve Saruman

Elanor's Angel · 01-19-2004, 04:20 PM

Hi, I am 12, 13 in may, I am 5'1", and growing. I have verry light blond hair, pail skin, and light blue\gray eyes. I'm verry skinny. I do ballet and did gymnastics, five years ea., so i am flexibble

I would love to get the part of Eowin or elf girl. i will try to send you a pic of me i will post more later soon g2g1

hectorberlioz · 01-19-2004, 04:33 PM

I'm sure that Finrod would love to cast you.

(with my approval-which i give).
so you are learning ballet? what is your favorite ballet music?

Lady Ravyn · 01-19-2004, 06:55 PM

do you have crew positions open? cuz i'll do some of the camera work (i really want to do photography and film when i'm older; this would be great experience!

) and i'll do stunts! and if you need orcs and elves, i'm available!

Elanor's Angel · 01-19-2004, 08:03 PM

Hectorberlioz, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Yes I am in ballet now and I like most music, especialy Nutcracker. About the film, My mom told me to write that I have a passaport and I can travle (My dad was in the air force stationed in Japan so I'm used to planes if that's what you need), I live in Washington.

I need to go again now so I can do homework and take a pic of me and scan it into the computer and send it to you guys.

Well that might come in handy when you have to take down an Oliphaunt.

I'll be playing an elf. I think I put in a request for Galadriel earlier, but on second thought I don't think I'd be right for the part. I'll be perfectly happy in Rivendell or Lothlorien.
