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.

Jerry Seinfeld as ELROND

Nothing is as effective as homeopathy.

I'd rather listen to an hour of Abba than an hour of The Beatles.

Look, it's not my fault your most memorable piece of dialogue is "How you like them apples." I wanted to make that an action movie.

I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week, sometimes, to make it up.

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
