Lord of the rings nerds get in here
Did you make the connections pointed out in this from watching the films? I didn't and I think its pretty cool that all the stuff in the hobbit was already tied into the main trilogy.

This sums up the lord of the rings.

1 ReplyEdited by Sigma617: 1/15/2013 7:22:17 PMI knew absolutely all of that. Except for maybe the Coffee budget, but also that doesn't have anything to do with Middle Earth so I don't care.

2 RepliesKnew all of that but the Radagast bit was added in the movies (at least I don't recall ever reading about that in the Return of the King Addendums or any of the various encylopedias I have)
-
I knew most of it already, though I didn't realise Ori accompanied Balin to Moria.
-
That's rather interesting, I never even noticed the trolls from the last picture in LoTR. I must watch Fellowship of the Ring again at some point. Infact I needa watch 'em all again, it's been a long time.

That part about Ori made me sad. I like him, he is so polite.

9 RepliesTrivia about Vigo Mortensen (Aragorn) 1. Broke a tooth while filming a fight sequence for "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers"; he asked the crew if they would glue it back on so he could finish the scene. 2. Replaced Stuart Townsend in the role of Aragorn/Strider in The Lord of the Rings, after filming began. 3. Got so into his character of Aragorn that director Peter Jackson once addressed him as Aragorn for over half an hour, and Mortensen didn't even realize it. 4. An accomplished horseman in his spare time, Mortensen requested that his "Rings" character Aragorn be given more saddle time than was originally scripted. He also kept his on-screen horse nearby during the entire principal photography schedule in order to ride in his off-hours and strengthen his relationship with the horse. 5. While filming "The Lord of The Rings" trilogy in New Zealand, he would go surfing with the other actors in their spare time. One day he suffered an accident which left a bruise on the right side of his face. As a result, director Peter Jackson had to shoot only the left side of his face in the entire Moria sequence. 6. At first, turned down the part of Aragorn of Lord of the Rings. His son convinced him to do the part. 7. While working on the Lord of the Rings trilogy, he asked writer/director Peter Jackson to revise scripts so that his character Aragorn would be speaking in the Elvish language in several scenes of all three movies.

Edited by Jonny WhyBro: 1/16/2013 4:24:58 PMSurely a Lord of the Rings nerd would know the majority of this information. Still cool though.

Feed me more.

Knew the trolls (noticed that first time I watched Fellowship as a kid,) the Balin thing (but not Ori) and Gimli. Didn't connect the Morghul blade - I assumed the one the Nazgul had was a different one to the one Radaghast recovered. "He was stabbed by A morghul blade." Implies there's more than one.

Edited by Davisteph: 1/16/2013 2:00:39 AMgood stuff
-
I knew them all but the Ori one, when i was at the movie watching i was biting my nails waiting to see how and when the trolls turn to stone. LOVE THIS FRANCHISE!!!
-
Knew them all but the Ori one. Still, very cool.
-
Just finished reading the graphic novel, amazing. Can't wait for the second and third movie.
-
I did know this, though, I would be shocked if everyone did.
-
Got them all except for Ori and the Trolls. I don't think I ever recall noticing the trolls in that scene.
-
Yeah, I knew all that beforehand...
-
Some pretty interesting stuff in there. Thanks for sharing, OP! I really enjoy things like this in films. :-)
-
Is the last one only in extended edition?

6 RepliesEdited by JFKES: 1/15/2013 9:34:30 PMIt is too small for me to read paul. Do you have a larger version? [i]Edit: [/i]Yeah those are cool. I knew all of them apart from the fact that it was Ori who wrote the book. That is kind of sad... Oh and I don't think both Morgul blades were the same. I mean, they were the same kind of blade so they looked the same and probably had the same effect, but I doubt they are actually the same weapon.
-
Yeah, I knew these. Cool connections.
-
I only knew about the trolls. Cool stuff.
-
So OP, did you know that the book The Hobbit was written before the trilogy?
-
Cool! I didn't realize any of those.
-
I knew all of these. Lol, I'm such an LoTR nerd.
-
3 RepliesI knew most of them. I didn't realize the Ori and sword one.
