Legolas - pravda, kvalitní to zrovna není. Je to jen snapshot z 2 produkčního videa od PJ. Ale co je důležitější, ukazuje to styl oblečení, které budou nosit i ostatní elfové v Mirkwoodu.
Elrond - též v něm moc nevidím agenta Smithe, ale H. Weaving mi nikdy fyzicky (tvář) nesedl s Elrondovým popisem z knih:
(
"Noble and as fair in face as an elf-lord, as strong as a warrior, as wise as a wizard, as venerable as a king of dwarves, and as kind as summer." --- The Hobbit;
"His face was ageless, neither old nor young, though in it was written the memory of many things both glad and sorrowful. His eyes were grey as a clear evening, and in them was a light like the light of stars. Venerable he seemed as a king crowned with many winters, and yet hale as a tried warrior in the fullness of his strength." --- LOTR)
Já vím, já vím, jsem náročná. Nakonec jsem si zvykla jak na něj, tak na ostatní filmové verze postav (zejména elfů). Když se teď podívám na filmy, tak už se od toho dokážu oprostit, ale trvalo mi to hodně dlouho.
Sil - a o co se vsadíš, že jeden z příběhů by byl Beren & Lúthien a další buď Feanor a jeho šílená rodina, případně pád Gondolinu?
Na příběh o stvoření Ardy by nikdo z nich neměl- *dosaď co uznáš za vhodné*.
Empire se dá koupit i v Praze, tedy za předpokladu, že je jeden ochoten za těch pár stránek dát nekřesťanské peníze.
Pár úryvků z článku - popis natáčení, jak ho zachytil autor článku při návštěvě NZ:
- The dwarves, Gandalf and a bewildered Bilbo will arrive at Rivendell's front gate, a newly designed "big-budget" entrance to be digitally embroidered with a "huge ravine" (in 60 Middle-earth years the Fellowship will leave by the back door). This afternoon, elven riders will harass the scale doubles within the tight confines of the soundstage. Dwarves and elves seldom see eye to eye.
- Later that day, Sylvester McCoy's Radagast The Brown is brought forth in a wig that looks less like it has traversed a hedge backwards than the entire hedge has taken up residence over his brow, and the director fusses happily over the drape of his brown robes and the pitch of his staff.
- Leading Empire on a brief tour among the cloisters of Rivendell, Jackson points out a gallery of familiar paintings (a potted history of Middle-earth that will later encircle the shards of Narsil).
"I'm such a hoarder," he confesses,
"I had them in storage. A bit of dusting and they're perfect."-
"The tone is actually the part of it I'm enjoying the most, which is ironic," he laughs [Peter Jackson].
"We are being more humorous than Lord Of The Rings, but that is the characters. I'm dealing with a whole bunch of extenuate and forthright dwarves who are not afraid to say what the think. They have a healthy disregard for the icons of Middle-earth."-
"They [the dwarves] don't know what to make of Gandalf, they think Bilbo is a wuss, and Elrond a prissy headmaster type," delights a besotted director.
- The week following Empire's visit, the director will shoot Gandalf and Elrond scouting the murky dungeons of forest fastness Dol Guldur (by early designs, a ruin of stone slipping back into the rancid grasp of Mirkwood). Put pithily by Jackson:
"Sauron, in the guise of The Necromancer, was gaining strenght in Dol Guldur, and Gandalf goes there to check it out."- Sometimes you can do no better than a trusty wooden box. Elrond (also on a box) broadcasts to the throng with a tongue lash of Elvish (Hugo Weaving chews it over to himself between takes). P. Hambleton's Gloin naturally posits treachery. But the wizard, with a sigh as deep as Khazad-dum, assures him this is no more sinister than a dinner invite.
- In the midst of this characteristic Hobbit interchange (danger leavened by humour) stands Bilbo, gawping at his surroundings. Appropriately enough, he appears tiny. His hair is sandy rather than black and his features older, but Bilbo is a fine echo of Frodo.
- Covered by two cameras, the scene has moved to the cool chambers of Rivendell's library where Thorin (R. Armitage) reluctantly hands over a secret map for Elrond to peruse. Balin (K. Stott), Gandalf and Bilbo stand in twitch attendance. Care of Lesnie's [cinematographer] magic, the moment is bathed in silvery moonlight.
Do třetice -
DALŠÍ STILL. Trpaslíci jsou sice stejní - až na Thorina. Místo Orcristu má sekeru a ta kožešina mu opravdu padne.
Již od včerejška jsem klidnější co se týče Kiliho i Noriho. PJ totiž ukázal
třetí produkční video a oba vypadají daleko víc jako trpaslíci.
- Je v něm scéna v Bilbově noře -> hory jídla, spousta pití a zpívající trpaslíci!
- Dále pak další záběry Elronda/Weavinga a Galadriel/Blanchett v nádherných šatech. Setkání The White Council tedy s největší pravděpodobností bude právě v Rivendell.
- Dále trpaslíci bojující kolem ohňů - první záběr bitky s trojicí zlobrů.
- Trénink herců, kteří hrají trpaslíky. Jeden by řekl, že jsou to záběry z boot campu.
- John Rhys-Davies na setu
- A na konec velmi příjemné překvapení pro obdivovatele Ch. Leeho.
Po shlédnutí 3 pr. videa se opravdu nemůžu dočkat, až uvidím TH. A zvlášť začátek u Bilba. Chudák Bilbo, ti trpaslíci jsou jak utržení ze řetězu.
