Dezmond, what surprised me most about the news was seeing Anya Taylor-Joy stepping into Middle-earth. She’s not a name I would have immediately associated with that universe. I’m curious to see what role her character will end up playing in a story that, at least on paper, revolves around Gollum and Aragorn. In any case, the film is starting to assemble a pretty impressive cast. We’ll see whether, in two years’ time, we’re talking about a genuine success or just another nostalgia-driven project. A big hug.
ReplyDeleteShe does look more like a gollum than an elf LOL Returning the daily hug!
DeleteI am not a fan of Lord of Rings..my husband would be interested in watching the film though. Isn't elf usually very petite and tiny?
ReplyDeleteAnd beautiful too, which she really is not.
