: I think Brian Blessed would be a good Bombadil and I am sure Hugh Grant could figure somewhere.:
: TreeBeard........ :Yes, only Robin Williams could do Bombadil (he could make a British accent in his sleep Sorry guys. I'll lay 10 to 1 odds that Bombadil gets axed completely from the script, so you might as well stop casting him now. As I said in an earlier post, you can axe the whole side trip through the Old Forest and the Barrow downs without doing real harm to the plot. Don't get me wrong -- it's one of my favorite passages. But if stuff has to get cut to get the first book down to 2 hours, I'd rather Jackson did that than give short shrift to "The Shadow of the Past" or "The Council of Elrond." :BUT NOT LEONARDO DICRAPIO!!! HE'LL RUIN THE MOVIE!!! IDIOTIC PREPUBESCENT GIRLS WILL FLOCK TO THE CINEMA AND OVERWHELM US LotR FANS!!! DIE, LEO, DIE!!! NO argument here!!
