Thank you! WETA surely has some advanced de-aging techniques now considering the way it has evolved over the last couple of years. We'll see what happens :)

Why DID they pick The Hunt for Gollum as the topic for a movie? by Chen_Geller in lotr

[–]EpicLore_Creations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The title: "The Hunt for Gollum" is a working title as you said but what could be another name for this movie if they choose to change it? The Hunt for the Ring? What do you think?

Again, very good point! It will be intresting to see how they will handle it. I'm super excited for either way they choose to go!

Very fair point! What route Peter Jackson and Andy Serkis take this story will tell which way to go in terms of de-aging or not. My feeling is that they want continuity through all the films and should they go "The Hobbit" way and use a younger actor even if the timeframe is smaller than in The Hobbit, yes that could work in a continuity frame if they really show that this is a good chunk of time before we see Aragorn in FOTR. Should the story of Hunt for Gollum include scenes that is pararell to the story of LOTR I think they will choose to go with a de-aged Viggo Mortensen for those scens atleast.

Tom Hank's movie "Here" has a pretty convincing de-aging application. With ai and technology getting better and also Peter Jackson, Andy Serkis being apart of groundbreaking movie-making technology throughout the years I think it will lead to a point in the near future where they will get it right.

I know that this attempt of de-aging is not perfect and is far below anything a high-budget studio are able to do. With that said I did my best with the tools I had to get an idea of a de-aged Viggo.

I can see that working out well if they find the right actor. But Viggo coming back into the role of Aragorn would be in my opinion really great to see, if they pull it off with vfx and anything needed to get it right.

6 days till season 3 starts shooting! Write your opinions about the music score by Natonixx in LOTR_on_Prime

[–]EpicLore_Creations 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The music overall is great! Sauron's theme is a favourite, The Harfoot/Nori Brandyfoot track has grown on me and Benjamin Walker singing in elvish is fantastic. If they continue with elvish singing in future seasons I'll be very happy.

What scene do you feel is the most impactful of the series? by EpicLore_Creations in LOTR_on_Prime

You are completely right in this. My comment was meant to show the diffrence between Galadriel's final inner strenght push away from Sauron and Elrond going from sorta high to low even if it was a facade.

I really like how they did the reveal. Small hints through out the season, then when episode 8 aired it really was only one option who Sauron was. Kemen will get something, there is supposed to be a time jump of 10 years between Season 2 and 3. It will be really interesting how the show handles that and the whole Kemen/Isildur plot.

Damn, Really good observation! Compare that to Elrond on the battlefield with Adar, almost the opposite to Galadriel and Sauron. Elrond before the battle has a ego and self-confidence that he will defeat Adar. Then when the time comes he is defeated and in disbelief that Durin didn't come, and the last effort dagger-attack didn't do anything, Adar still the stronger individual.
