Since “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy has become as popular as Star Wars in its heyday, I think it’s time for Mel Brooks to do a send-up of the movies. Since he’s so busy raking in millions from “The Producers”, let’s use our mighty SDMB brains to help him out. Let’s also forget that his recent movies sucked.
Title: Since we got Space Balls for Star Wars, Prince of the Panties? Or Quest for the Croissant. No idea.
Premise: The ring of power was already turned into a cock ring of power for that MTV spoof so that idea is out. Putting on the Brooks comedy cap, the ring could be panties, a lobbed off body part, or a plastic Cracker jack ring.
Cast:
Elves - the obvious comedy is to play them up as gay or transvestites. Ooh, whoever plays Elrond could wear a costume from “Priscilla, Queen of the Desert” as a shout-out to Hugo Weaving.
Dwarves - Jewish. Brooks could make a cameo playing Goymli
Men - a funny take would make Gondorians surfer dudes, the Rohan rednecks, and Dunedain French
Hobbits - midgets or basketball players. Or, this is horrible and tasteless, girls with eating disorders.
Wizards - typical geeks. Maybe make Gandalf a D&D teen. If they could get kid from “Napoleon Dynamite”, that would work perfectly
Sauron - the Big Bad is totally dependent on what takes the place of the ring of power. If it’s panties, it could be Hugh Hefner. If it’s a body part, doctors with (Jeffrey Dahmer as Gollum). If the rings is little boys, then the Big Bad could be Michael Jackson and so on.
Gollum - panties = priests (we hates the precious, yet we needs it), body part - Dahmer, little boys = Mia Farrow/Peter Pan
