One name that is sadly conspicuous by its absense in the casting list...

Thom Bombadil!
Thom, Thom, Merry Thom, merry Thom-a-dillo, Thom, Thom, Happy Thom, Thom Bom-bad-illo!

Thom is larger than life in his short part of the story, and in his own way one of the most powerfull charactors in the series. The Magic of the Ring has no effect on him at all.

I can't wait, but it can be as faithful to the story line as it wants to be. If it doesn't hold the theology that Tolkein was so interested in sharing I will be very disappointed.

I remember the movie adaptation of The Shining. It was a good adaptation as screen-plays go, but it lacked something. I couldn't put my finger on it, but I was very disappointed. In a later interview, Stephen King said that Kubrick ruined the movie because he didn't believe in G-d. Therefore, what was intended to be a movie about good vs. evil was simply a movie about Jack Nicholson going crazy. Bingo!

I hope Fellowship does not suffer the same fate.

Shalom.

I have the soundtrack, which I picked up for 13 bucks. Pretty cool stuff. It comes with exclusive content, including several "behind-the-scenes" videos that are excellent.

I'm very excited about this moving coming out. For those wondering how true to the novels it will be, I do know of one major difference (don't read on if you don't want to know):











Tom Bombadil doesn't make the cut. I don't know why, though it probably has to do with cutting the length of the film. It will be interesting to see how they work around him, and I think it will be an awesome movie with or without old Tom Bombadil.

As release date slowly draws nearer, everyone is holding their breath. Will this film live up to expectations? Will this movie make a strong enough impact that audiences will anxiously want to remain loyal to the films that will follow? The answer is a definitive YES on all accounts.

The answer I wanted to hear--hope it's true! This flick may be a rare 2-timer for me. :)
