This is the link to the final map, and it's a treat. We can see Numenor on the map, which probably means that the series will be about the fall of Numenor and so on. Extremely exciting!

I might be mistaken, but wasn't Glaurung not supposed to 'move his lips' when he talked, but talk more like with an inner voice, almost telepathically? And it'd be weird to model the dragon after the actor (we don't want a Will Smith-genie situation here). In that case it'd be just as easy to...

As for Glaurung, isn't only the voice important here? Bardem is a great villain, but his voice alone can probably be matched by others. So what kind of a voice do we want Glaurung to have?

Amazon has been teasing us with a map. Anyone following that?

Without the beard he does indeed look quite young for his age. Elves are immortal too, and Caranthir is for sure 'grown' by now. If one elf is for example 2000 years old and his son is 1000, would you then look at them and immediately see that 'yeah, that must be father and son'? I can...

I suggested Joe Manganiello as Fingolfin before. That didn't win. However, the way the execs want Caranthir to be, I think Manganiello could be an excellent choice. He's very tall (1,96 meters), athletic, big and muscular. But not like a bodybuilder. He's a good actor too with quite a bit of...

Oh, it seems like I missed the preferred ethnicity. Is that grounded in Tolkien, or is it arbitrarily set?

I'd say Peter Mullen would be a nice fit. He has both a roughness and a warmth to him, and I'd like to see him is a commanding role as this one. If you want to see him in something, Gunpowder on HBO is something to watch. He's really good there.

I also think that a big black panther is the way to go. They can be pretty scary in appearance, so I don't think adding demonic features is needed. I'm sure a golden collar can be there as well. A sized-up housecat would probably look a bit ridiculous and not scary enough.

Why not throw in Tevildo and his cats too? It's an ambush, so big cats would fit perfectly for that. Throwing them in there too would perhaps even more strengthen the hopelessness of the elves in that situation.

The current SilmFilm Project should definitely keep going, but it'd be nice to have discussions about what Amazon is doing as well.

Starlight would do!

It's basically Vader slaughtering Rebels. I picture two variants here: 1) Elves flee in terror - Morgoth's forces are upon them. They run into a dark cave to hide. It's completely dark. Suddenly they hear some odd noises. They look forward and can feel something big and dark move towards them...

I feel like we need a scene similar to the Darth Vader scene in Rogue One. Perhaps with Tevildo. That'd be cool.

Nice! I see that there's one actor missing for Thuringwethil by the way, so you might want to add that.

I nominate Maggie Smith. She's a fantastic actor and has a lot of movies and tv series under her belt. You'll probably know her from playing Minerva McGonagall in the Harry Potter series. I think her voice is suited for playing an entwife! Finding a video wasn't easy, but this is something I...

I nominate Kaya Scodelario. She's an actress from The Maze Runner movies (the previous and the upcoming one). She'll be in the new Pirates of the Carribean move and is an actress that has worked her way up. She's quite young, but too young for this role. I think she has a look that fits for an...

Let's populate this world with Norwegians! Description is brought from MithLuin: Mother of Arwen and her twin brothers, Elrond's wife, and Galadriel's daughter. She will appear in several flashbacks in the Frame in Season 2, and will also likely appear (many seasons from now) when she and...

The first fellow Norwegian I'm going to nominate is Pål Sverre Hagen for Finarfin. He's a very versatile Norwegian actor and is for non-Norwegians probably most known for playing Thor Heyerdahl in Kon-Tiki (Oscar and Golden Globe-nominated movie). He's a really likeable actor and fits the bill...

This is an interesting one. I start off with nominating Anthony Hopkins for this role. Hopkins is an excellent actor that has a great range. His body fits with the character and Hopkins is excellent at using his face and voice to strenghten the needed emotion in each scene. He was fabulous in...
