The script discussion for Episode 3 will be held on May 24th. Again, sorry for the delay!

Here are their ages in this episode: Húrin (21), Huor (18), and Handir (19) are involved in a skirmish near Brethil. They are taken by eagles to Gondolin. Húrin (25) and Huor (22) are reunited with Galdor (52), who thought them dead. Handir (23) returns to Brethil. So, Huor is 18 for the...

So, in the Episode 1 script, the language of the humans (particularly the Haladin) comes up in contrast to the Sindarin that the Elves are speaking with them. We could probably come up with a few phrases in this language, if we tried, but we would have to be willing to be rather...flexible...

Sorry for the delay! This time, it's my fault, and my travel schedule just isn't matching up with when we should be able to do these things.

What we know of elven patterns of growth is that they mature through early childhood similarly to humans, so, say, the first 7 years are mostly the same (with some variation in developmental milestones). But then elves slow down, remaining in childhood longer, and not growing to maturity until...

Part of my problem is that I keep thinking of guys who are significantly older than what we're looking for. I imagine we'd want someone in the late 20's/early 30's age range. But we also want someone short/stocky - a guy who looks like if someone runs into him....they'll fall down, and he'll...

No plans at this time, but if he becomes a more important role as the season progresses, we could consider that. We'd want to make him look like the same people-group as Ulfang and Uldor. But we don't really have a personality/character for him yet.... [If he's only in one episode, I would...

As a heads up, there are a few criteria an actor must meet in order to be cast in the Silmarillion Film Project. The actor needs to be: 1) alive 2) have an imdb page 3) not have been previously cast on Silm Film At this point, approximately 150 actors have been cast in this project over the...

I was trying to think of young actresses with a very 'steel-like' carriage... people who know how to show that a character is holding a lot in. I think that would be the right direction for Morwen. ...and then I remembered Kristina Tonteri-Young. She's in Warrior Nun and Outside the Wire...

I will say that this man has a magnificent beard. I'm not sure I can see him as Saruman, as he seems like a fairly affable guy, and his character in this particular film seems to be rather self-effacing. Trevor Jamieson

Going back to 2017, we've had the following suggestions for the Istari in general or Saruman in particular (Istari thread): Jeremy Irons Peter Capaldi Charles Dance (see above) Terence Stamp Trevor Jamieson Ken Watanabe Geoffrey Rush James Cromwell Alan Dale

We've had several suggestions for our Istari over the years. The most important aspect of Saruman's portrayal should be his mellifluous voice - sonorous, honeyed, smooth, could listen to him read the phone book. And one of his most important personality traits is his self-importance - he...

Certainly, that could have been a possibility. We discussed that option during the session and rejected it, choosing instead to have the people of Bor be the group that had already inhabited Eriador before the Estolad culture migrated through, and before the arrival of the Bree-culture. The...

Season 7 Casting List (after Session 7-12) Elves - Gwindor Gwindor should be 'tormented' in two different ways. In Season 7, he is haunted by the loss of his brother in the Dagor Bragollach, and as such becomes a bit of a zealot obsessed with fighting. And then of course after his time in...
