LOTR, starring Connery, Connery and Connery!

You know, Sean Connery can play so many different roles in LOTR it's not even funny. Let's list them all.

Gandalf (one of the rumors as far back as 1997 when the project was first announced, I think)
Denethor
Theoden
Treebeard's voice
Saruman
Radagast

And at a stretch...

Bilbo - digitally alter him to make him shorter.
Boromir - digitally edit in a younger Sean Connery.

Come to think of it, with the way technology is heading, one day they could make a version of LOTR where the only actor involved is Sean Connery. Galadriel is a bit of a stretch, but hey...

:lol:

and in that version Tom Bombadil would be absolutely necessary!

LOL

Connery has already done a fantasy with "the little people!"

Go rent "Darby O'Gill and the Little People" in the Disney Children's section of your nearby (well stocked) video store.

You will see young Sean Connery in a fine role in a great little picture. He even sings!

Which makes him perfect for Theoden King, now that he is old and ready for such roles. Who is the actor actually playing him in the movie?

Hehe...

Nah, I couldn't see him as Radagast. Maybe after a long line of make-up and wigs, but nah.

Treebeard is james earl jones for me

oh and can someone please tell me where to put in the url for my pic

i think you have already entered the url at the right place, cuz it appears in your profile.

To make that it appears in your posts you must switch on the case under the personal photo url (my control center >> personal >> edit preferences)

nice pic, btw

What a preposterous idea that Connery would fit anywhere into Middle-Earth. He has become such an obligatory movie face (rivaled only by James Earl Jones and recently Bruce Willis) that the only way to keep the movie 'special' is to NOT have him involved in any way. Casting Connery would just make it the 'newest Connery film' and not the 'much awaited Tolkien film'. Forget him and drop the 'siren of the month' (you know who I mean) and the films have possiblility!

But to tell you the truth, Sean could play Frodo and James Earl Jones could be Sam and I'd still go see these movies. So what am I complaining about?

RKittle, that's what's funny about this thread. Connery's not going to be in it, but everybody's rumoring him in every role there is! So I played on the satire...

Nice to see you around here again, btw.

Well JEJ is hardly a movie face... some of his most famous roles are voice-overs! (Darth Vader, Mufasa)

Connery could play Cirdan too!
And the Mouth of Sauron!

He could play Sauron and Shelob!
:lol:

And a Nazgul. Nobody would know under that hood.

he could play a great Scottish Gollum. hoots mon, me wee fishiess....me bonnie precious where are ye?

i'd wonder how he'd pull off Eowyn...

Strider, love the pic!

Oh, Eowyn's easy, because she dresses up as a man anyway.

Galadriel and Arwen, now that would be interesting.

Presently, with a wave of his hand and a nod, he invited Frodo to come over and sit by him. As Frodo drew near he threw back his hood, showing a shaggy head of dark hair flecked with grey, and in a pale stern face a pair of keen grey eyes.

'I am called Bond. James Bond,' he said in a low voice.

what'd be REALLY interesting is the wedding of Connery & Connery, presided over by Connery, & witnessed by Connery, Connery, Connery, Connery & ... you get the idea.

but Aragorn's character would suffer greatly if he was associated with such "characters" as Miss Galore & her cronies.

I'm not sure why, but this thread frightens me.
