MTV: John Noble won’t Reprise Role in ‘Hobbit’ Films
August 27th, 2008 by Calisuri | Source: MTV Movie Blog | Discuss
It has been well documented that Guillermo del Toro will approach the original The Lord of the Rings cast to reprise their roles in Middle-earth should the script call for it. News comes today from the MTV Movie Blog that one such actor, John Noble, won’t be available:
“If they said, ‘Would you come and play Denethor again,’” Noble said, “I would have to say, ‘No, I’m doing [new J.J. Abrams television series] ‘Fringe’! And I certainly couldn’t play a younger Denethor or even Ecthelion now that I’m an older John. Not even with makeup.”
For the full story, jump on over to the MTV Movie Blog. [Read More]
And a REALLY cute Craig Parker story: My daughter, the famous actor, and the plastic animals: A story of contingency I can SO see him do that! :D *still needs to make a Craig icon*
Just to warn you: I am having problems with Windows suddenly and without discernible cause hanging during startup, so until I found a solution I may be absent/quiet, since my laptop which I'd usually use in such a a case is currently sans harddisc. Of course. *rolls eyes* I hope I can find out what's causing this asap, but you never know.
Still reading "Babylon Babies". Maurice G. Dantec shares Tolkien's love for extensive, detailed descriptions of locations/events/people which really don't contribute to the plot, except to make the universe of the story more vivid or to give more depth to a character. Still, sometimes my eyes glaze over and I just have to skip some parts (in both author's cases, I admit it). But the plot is very intriguing and engaging and he has interesting characters, and you get pulled in and want to find out what happens next, particularly once our main characters arrive on the American continent. I'm now about 80% along (it's a big paperback volume) so I guess sometime Saturday at the latest I should be finished. Unless I spend all my time with the %*@=?^ computer... then it might be Sunday, I guess. Heh. I'll have to go back to my poor neglected non-fiction books after this. :)
