Lord of the Rings as told by Kevin Smith, PT Anderson and the Wachowskis. The Lord of the Rings: Tolkien Re-Told A lot of people don't know this, but New Line did not immediately offer Peter Jackson the chance to direct the Lord of the Rings movies. Faced with the important task of choosing a helmsman for such a beloved property, the studio sent out a call to some of the top directors in Hollywood, asking them to submit their version of Frodo and the Fellowship's adventures. Jackson's take was eventually chosen from among many candidates, but we at UGO.com have, through some shady dealings with an orc on the inside, managed to get a hold of the scripts submitted by several of the industry's big names to get a look at what might have been. We present them to you here in their entirety, or as close as we could remember them after we spilled ale all over the originals. Editor's Note: We do not have full editorial control over what Hollywood's brightest minds do and do not write. Therefore, the following scripts contain language which is inappropriate for some readers. User discretion is advised. The Council of Elrond: As directed by Kevin Smith Jerry Seinfeld as ELROND Jason Mewes as JAY...er, GANDALF Kevin Smith as SILENT GIMLI Ben Affleck as ARAGORN Matt Damon as BOROMIR Jason Lee as FRODO Joey Lauren Adams as LEGOLAS Shannon Doherty as GLORFINDEL First Meeting With Gollum: As directed by P.T. Anderson Tom Cruise as GOLLUM Jason Robards as SMEAGOL Mark Wahlberg as FRODO John C. Reilly as SAM Aimee Mann as HERSELF Ricky Jay as NARRATOR The Final Confrontation at Mount Doom: As directed by The Wachowski Brothers Hugo Weaving as GOLLUM Keanu Reeves as FRODO |
