Treebeard - Chris Tucker
A hobbat!?! Dooo yooo unnastan da wa-ds dattta comin outta maa mouf?
How about a Marvel movies version? Each actor channeling their comic book role.
Gandalf - Morgan Freeman (Nick Fury)
Aragorn - Chris Hemsworth (Thor)
Boromir - Clark Gregg (Agent Coulson)
Legolas - Robert Downey, Jr (Iron Man)
Gimli - Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner)
Frodo - Andrew Garfield (Peter Parker)
Sam - Toby Macguire (Peter Parker)
Faramir - Brett Dalton (Grant Ward)
Saruman - Tom Hiddleston (Loki)
Arwen - Scarlet Johansson (Black Widow)
Galadriel - Coby Smulders (Maria Hill)
Gollum - Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye)
Elrond - Patrick Steward (Professor X)
Merry - Ellen Page as Kitty Pryde
Pippin - Shawn Ashmore as Iceman
Hugo Weaving as Elrond, but have him play the part as Agent Smith… “Do you know the problem I have with Mordor? It’s the smell…”
Wow. 43 posts and not one mention of Nicolas Cage.
Bilbo - Alec Baldwin “What have I got in my pocket? Fuck you, that’s what I have in my pocket! Here’s riddle for you, who had an invisibility ring and can’t close?”
Morgan Freeman?
Oops. Not the first person to make that awful mistake. I was cycling through IMDB and my fingers typed what I was looking at instead of what I meant.
“Get busy mo----f—ing living, or get busy mo----f—ing dying, you mo----f—ing hobbit.”
I agree. Have him play Frodo as Jack Sparrow, or Gollum in the style of Edward Scissorhands, or Samwise like Tonto.
*Any *role? Heck, have him play all the roles!
Nah, Shaquille O’Neal!
The Irwin Allenversion:
Bilbo - Charles Bronson
Gandalf - Richard Burton
Aragorn - James Coburn
Boromir - Clint Eastwood
Legolas - Charlton Heston
Gimli - James Cagney
Frodo - Burt Lancaster
Merry - Sean Connery
Pippin - Steve McQueen
Samwise - Anthony Quinn
Arwen - Katherine Hepburn
Galadriel - Meryl Streep
Denethor - Burt Lancaster
Theoden - Kirk Douglas
Sauromon - Robert Mitchum
Gollum - Edward G. Robinson
Harpo Marx is Galadriel! Seriously–remember when she’s tempted by the Ring? And I’d add Groucho as Gimli, mostly so I can hear him say, “Well, that concludes negotiations.” Which makes Chico Legolas–maybe he can turn a piano string into a bowstring.
Since Galadriel’s played by a man in drag, now, I’d have Milton Berle as Arwen. To be fair, I’d cast women as Gandalf (Margaret Dumont) and Aragorn (Martha Raye).
Charlie McCarthy (the ventriloquist’s dummy) is Gollum. He can do his back and forths with Smeagol with Edgar Bergen, who’d have to be there moving him anyway. Charlie McCarthy used to feud with W.C. Fields on the former’s radio show, so Fields can be Sam.
Oh, and Zeppo can be Frodo.
Boromir - Nic Cage “No no, not the arrows, not the arrows! Aaaarrrggghh!”
Mouth of Sauron - Samuel L. Jackson “Y’all motherfuckers really think you can stand up to Mordor?!”
Gandalf - Laurence Fishburne “What if I told you that there is a path, and in that path a fork? One way leads to ignorance and doom, and the other, the truth. All you have to do is put on this ring…”
Ah no, sorry, but Ahnold gets to be an Uruk-hai.
With some CGI he could be all the Uruk-hai (sort of a well armed Deep Roy)
