george harris=gandalf
sean connery=saruman
pauly shore=pippin
michael j fox=frodo
sandra bulluck=arwen
andy dick=merry
mathew mcganahey(sp?)=sam

shakira=galadriel


submit your worst cast now!

[Nessa]

Keanu Reeves! oh, dear.
I actually heard Sean Connery was considered for Gandalf....shudder..... can you imagine?
You didn't like Bean?
I can think of worse actors....Mel Gibson....

Aragorn-Stuart Townsend;)
Galadriel - Meg Ryan

[Finrod Felagund]

Arwen: Britney Spears...

[Nessa]

Britney! Ack!
Pippin: Billy Crystal
Gandalf: anyone but McKellen, really

[Mirkgirl]

There's nothing wrong with Mel Gibson, no matter that he really doesn't have his part in LotR. And if Britney was Arwen PJ couldn't enlarge her part, because she wouldn't be able to read it, what about remember it roflmao (not so bad in fact, hmmm ;) )

And about Gandalf... I have a lot against the make-up, but the performance was alright

[Nessa]

Mirkgirl, I like Mel Gibson, but he'd be bad in the part only because he's so well known. Any well known actor or actress wouldn't have worked.

[Mirkgirl]

Agreed so, sorry, I missunderstood

[Nessa]

I didn't know where else to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY Melkor!
Am I too late? 15! Thats my age. ;)

[A! Elbereth]

Micheal J. Fox!!!!!!! OH THE HORROR!!!!!!! :o :o

[Catz]

*catz glances around and spots the cast list*
Pauly Shore.........Michael J Fox........BRITTNEY???????
ARRRRGGGHHHHHHHH..........:elfeek: :elfeek: :elfeek:
*crawls to the exit*....Keanu Reeves.............no more......

BTW...whats wrong with Sean Bean?:huh:
:catz:

[Pil]

i know....i thought he did a reeeealy great boromir...oh well... :mmmm:

I think that mel gibson has been in too many action films already and shouldn't be ALLOWED to be in another! lol

FOX???!!!! NOOOOO! :elfeek: I think i'll join you :catz:! *sprints off after catz* :p

[Catz]

*catz pokes her head back in the door, tho not too far in case shes overcome by the scent of CHEEZE that permeates the room....*
and of course we cant forget N'Sync in their cameos, now can we?...Justin Timberlake IS ....third elf from the left and back one row!!!!:elfeek: :o lol roflmao lol
:catz:

[Tinuviel]

roflmao roflmao roflmao Oh my gawd *mops tears from eyes* hee hee...Pauly Shore as Pippin ! oh, my heart....
And I totally agree that anyone really famous might not have worked out so well. I know I'm stepping on the whole world's toes when I say this
*deep breath* but imagine Julia Roberts as Galadriel or any elve maid (Arwen-cringe!) or my beloved Eowyn..... wrong....

[Nessa]

As far as I'm concerned, you're not stepping on anyones toes! Julia Roberts! Cough*overated*Cough.

I'm still thinking about Keanu Reeves....*hurl*

[Illuvatar]

Okay I'm in.....

Jim Carrey as.......Gollum!

Antonio Banderas as..........Aragorn!

Angelina Jolie(spelling?) as........Arwen!

Lenard Nimoy................Elrond!

Ricardo Montaban............Gandalf!!

And last but not least.............

Gary Coleman as.................Frodo!!!

:evilcool: :evilcool: :evilcool:

[Polly Sandybanks]

Actually.. I could imagine Julia Roberts as Eowyn, but never mind. I'm glad that they chose more unknown actors/actresses for most of the parts.

Ok.. let's see.

hmm.. why can I imagine Jim Carrey as Gollum?? It would be horrible, but still..

How about Whoopie Goldberg as Galadriel? lol
Or Russell Crowe as Aragorn. urg :elfeek:
Hmm.. or Mel Gibson as Boromir. roflmao

Jeez... :o :elfeek: lol :embarras: :nono:

[Pil]

Mel Gibson doing ANOTHER action role.......getting boring man.... :p

Jim Carey?! Why waste humour on a miserable, pathetic creature? :angry:

If Russell Crowe had been in ANY way involved in LOTR...i would have marched over to australia and given him a piece of my mind personally! verymad

russell crowe as Aragorn would have broken me... mecry

[Illuvatar]

Well this IS the "Worst Cast Possible" thread yes? Sort of a ficticious thing where you make up the cast with the WORST possible actors......hehehe

[Catz]

lol lol roflmao roflmao lol lol
*catz is gasping*....Illu.......Leonard Nimoy????....."singing" the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins.....:elfeek: lol lol lol
a seriously out of breath... :catz:

[Pil]

The ballad of Bilbo Baggins? :huh:

[Catz]

youre too young to know that one Pil.....consider yourself lucky;) lol lol
well, actually so am i really....but i had the misfortune to hear it once.......
:catz:

[Tinuviel]

...i might be remembering it wrongly, but I think Will Shatner also covered the ballad of bilbo baggins! lol lol lol

[Pil]

Look...you can't do this to me! mecry

Now i wanna know even MORE! Please pm it to me...someone...if that's possible...i don't really know what i'm talking about here... :huh: :p

[Illuvatar]

Okay...For all of you brave enough to witness Mr. Nimoy singing the Balad of Bilbo Baggins, just trot on over to the Downloads section!!

Under audio you will find the sound clip, and under video you can actually see Leonard and his 1970's cast!!

Do you dare?????:flamer: :flamer: :flamer: :flamer:

Warning!! War of the Ring staff claims no responsibility for any psychological trauma that may occur as the result of listening to and or viewing these clips.

[Catz]

yeah i noticed that.......you sick, sad little puppies, you :naughty: :nono: :flamer: :elfeek: :elfeek:
thats enough to drive a catz batz :batty:
i think i need a drink:guzzle: :guzzle: :guzzle: ...or three lol
:catz:

[Melkor]

I was just kidding about Boromir, i thought Sean Bean played a perferct Boromir!

[Nessa]

GOOD. :)

I almost wish I knew about this ballad thingy.....

[Catz]

well, Nessa....like Illu said......its under Audio, in the downloads section on the main page *shudders delicately* horrible tho that thought may be!!! ;) lol lol
:catz:

[Nessa]

:o Oh my. Why did I listen? Oh, dear.

[Orofacion of the Vanyar]

I think I have you all beat: :grin:

Saruman - Jerry Lewis

Aragorn - Jean Claude VanDam

Legolas - Will Smith

Gimli - Dom DeLouis (sp?)

Boromir - Charlie Sheen

Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin - Mo, Larry, Schemp, Curly

[Nessa]

Carrot Top!!!

I will be scarred for life....;)

[Catz]

you missed out Kylie, Oro....tho i must admit your choices are terrifying!!! :elfeek: lol youre not on any medication we should know about are you?? lol lol lol
Oh and what about Julian Clary as Elrond ? (that will mean nothing to those who dont watch British TV)
do like the Hobbits tho...lol lol lol
:catz:

[Pil]

But Julian Clary HAS a personality....he would be able to connect with a brick wall....(otherwise known as Elrond) lol

[Aragorn Isildur]

Hmm....

Saruman: Dennis Rodman
Gimli: The artist formally known as ponce
Aragorn: Grant Mitchell (english people)
Arwen: Pat Butcher (again english people)
Gandalf: Pierce Brosnan

Sam: Jonny Depp
Galadriel: Christina Ricci
Haldir: Jade from Big Brother
Gollum: Alan Rickman

Aragorn:king:

[Nessa]

roflmao

Steve Irwin!

Richard Simmons would make an interesting Aragorn....

[Catz]

Steve Irwin???? :o :o
god nooooo!!!!! he'd have that poor troll on its back and be trying to tickle its tummy as fast as you could say "dya really think this was a good idea?:rolleyes: :elfeek: :elfeek: lol lol
and Richard SIMMONS?????? ohhhh Nessa, thats cruel.....*sniggers quietly*....really cruel....funny, but
really cruel....
:catz:

[Orofacion of the Vanyar]

...youre not on any medication we should know about are you??

No, not of any consequence. *mutters something incoherent in third person*

Richard Simmons as any character other them himself is horrendous enough, but a role as one of the Tolkien's creations is just, well... blasphemous!

[Nessa]

roflmao

I don't know, Simmons as Aragorn would bring a whole new light to the phrase Pervy Hobbit Fancier......*slaps self*

Completely out of line I was. I apologize.

[A! Elbereth]

hmmmmm...........

[Catz]

yeah Nessa...the thing is, how many ways do we really want to look at it, hmmm? *shudders delicately*roflmao roflmao
:catz:

[Nessa]

*shudders less delicately* ;)

No ways! At all!

[Catz]

:o :elfeek: :elfeek: :o lol lol lol ....'nuff said.....;)
:catz:

[Aragorn Isildur]

*English Person* Who's Richard Simmons?

[Pil]

I've heard of him...i'm in the dark too mate! :duh:

[Catz]

Richard Simmons......a small, hairy, bubble permed (at least i hope its a perm....otherwise he has real problems!!!:rolleyes: ) hyperactive diet and exercise guru from the States....:naughty: looks a bit like a hobbit on speed:elfeek: lol roflmao lol
that help?;) :grin:
:catz:

[Nessa]

I will not stand for any comparisons of a hobbit to Richard Simmons. Speed or no speed. Thank You. (lol)

Richard Simmons is frightening and I'm very sorry I brought him up....end of story. ;)

[Catz]

hmmmm....youre right Nessa....*slaps self over ear with a large trout*...OUCH!!
those poor little hobbits dont deserve Richard.....nobody deserves Richard..... humble apologies notworthy
:catz:

[legolaslover]

Sean Bean is cool, I think he does a good job.

[Arwen Elf]

Hey! Fun!
Justin fron Nsync-Frodo
Other boyband members-Merry, Pippin, Sam
Anthony Hopkins (Hannibal persona)- Gandalf
Jerry Springer- Elrond
Britney Spears-Arwen
Christina Aguilera- Galadriel
Bill Clinton- Aragorn
I can't do this anymore!!!

[Goldilocks]

Okay, these are all painfully bad. However, I still maintain that the worst cast for LOTR would have been the cast of "Friends." Picture it:

Rachel - Galadriel
Monica - Arwen
Phebe - Legolas
Ross - Gandalf
Joey - Aragorn
Chandler - Boromir
Ben - Frodo

[Catz]

Noooooooooooooooooooooo
:catz:

[TheRingBearer]

With that fellowship you might as well hand the ring straight to Sauron (and accept death - Life would not be worth living wih that lot ;) )

[Gowpon]

...----________----

oh man...

[Pil]

roflmao roflmao lol roflmao roflmao

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOW AMUSING! :thumbs:

Joey as aragorn...matt le blanc dressed as a ranger....with a large sword...now that's a fantasy i'm willing to indulge in...drool... :loveyou:

[ScorpioQueen]

Can u image Chandler as Boromir?

"Aragorn. Could I BE more dead!?!"

lmao!

~Jo-Anne~

[Eowyn]

I agree with TheRingBearer. with that fellowship you might as well had the ring over now.

although I would kind of like to see what would happen! :grin: what?

glad Alan Rickman was mentioned. He always plays the bad guy!

what about using harry potter characters?
frodo - harry
sam - ron
merry and pippin - (2 of harrys other friends)
gandalf - dumbledore
saruman - snape

I can't think of any more!

[Lynx]

I've got it. Star wars

Original Star wars:

Frodo-Luke Skywalker
Merry and Pippen- C3PO and R2D2
Strider- Han Solo
Arwen- Leia
Gandalf- Yoda
Boromir- Lando
Saruman- Darth Vader
Sauron- The Emperor
Ring-wraiths- Bounty hunters
Uruk-hai- Storm Troopers

Prequel Star Wars

Frodo-Anakin
Merry and Pippen- C3PO and R2D2
Strider- Obi wan Kenobi
Arwen- Amidala
Gandalf- Qui-Gon
Boromir- Mace Windu
Saruman- Count Dukoo (oh wait same actor... Chistoper Lee is a good saruman but what else am I supposed to put here.)
Sauron- The Emperor
Ring-wraiths- Droids
Uruk-hai- Clone Storm Troopers

What about X-men characters? Now who would Magneto be. Surely couldn't fit the part of Gandalf ;)

[Tar-Ancalimë]

OK thats just halarious...

Saruman as Count Dukoo! ya' think?

(the scary thing is I can see arwen as padme... brainless, horrible at actions scenes... sorry if im offending people here :grin: )

[Nessa]

Magneto as Gandalf? Pah! As if! ( ;) )

[Akiba]

I think magneto might be able to pull off a Saruman though I can't see him as anybody really I didn't like Magneto in the movie or more didn't like the way he looked I go with Gandalf and Professor X

[Nessa]

Ian Mckellen played the part of both Gandalf and Magneto! Thats why its funny. ;) Or maybe it isn't. lol

[Akiba]

ironic can't see him as how he did magneto and then how he did Gandalf and is funny don't strike me as same person

[Lynx]

might be able to pull of a Saruman? ;) haha. I think he would pull off an excellent Gandalf.

;) ;) ;) kinda like Count Dukoo pulling off a good Saruman...

[Tar-Ancalimë]

lol

[TheRingBearer]

lol Count Dukoo.

[Daisy Gamgee]

Was Obi Wan played by Ewan McGregor - he would have been quite good (although not as Strider), maybe a Borimor or Legolas - Ewan is yummy!

[Daughter of Finarfin]

I agree Ewan is yummy! Wasn't he considered for Aragorn?

How about the Matrix?
Agent Smith as Elrond?lol
Neo as Aragorn
Morpheus as Gandalf
Trinity as Arwen
Dozer and Tank as Merry and Pippin
Mouse as Sam
The Oracle as the palantir (hey she beats the bowling ball)
Forgot the name, but Joe Pants's character as Saruman
The blonde woman (ugghh I have to watch the Matrix again) as Galadriel

[Catz]

cypher and switch ;) lol
so, i like the Matrix :rolleyes: lol roflmao lol
:catz:

[Daughter of Finarfin]

I like it too! I just always forget the blonde's name. She barely says two words in the movie. Cypher was just a momentary glitch in my memory

[Lynx]

Ewan could of been boromir but not Legolas. I refuse to think of him as fitting the part of Legolas. :)

but funny cast, Daughter of Finarfin.

[TheRingBearer]

I just can't picture Ewan Mcgregor as anyone from lotr to be honest, probably because i've seen it too many times lol

[Daughter of Finarfin]

Oh, I don't want him in the cast either, I just seem to remember reading that he read for a part. Does anyone know anything about this?

[Catz]

ummmmm guys...this IS the WORST cast thread....theyre supposed to be awful.....
:catz:

[Mirkgirl]

How about Enya as Arwen?

[Pil]

:nono:

I DONT THINK SO-O! lol

[Akiba]

no no no can't see obi won as anyone either though he is fine that guy ugghhh what's his name the one that played anakin in episode 2 I can see hims legolas and last good one out of me catz promise just had to say that

[Tar-Ancalimë]

his name was heyden christensen and Im in love with him... :loveyou: though he is faaaar too young for me :blush: oh well cant i dream?

but as legolas... urk. blegh.

[Lynx]

thats a scary thought. hayden christensen as legolas. I take the legolas they picked now anyday. Hayden can't act very well(imo).

scary thought.

[Tar-Ancalimë]

heyden is the best actor ever. :angry:

*humph*

[Lynx]

best actor ever? :nono: Too bad there isn't a puking smilie ;)

Ah, he's okay. :) I'll say that much... but he's not the best in my book ;) Don't really know who is.. I don't have a favorite actor.

[Tar-Ancalimë]

OKOKOK so that was a slight exageration. The best actor ever is sean bean. so there pfbbt

puking???????? I'll... I'll...I'll do something and it will be realted to puking and heyden but i dont know what it is yet!!!!! pfbbt!!!!!!!!

[Akiba]

ok calm down I think the Orlando Bloom was absolutely perfect and I mean perfect for the part just that we were in the whole star wars thing uh huh yeah that's it

[Tar-Ancalimë]

aww... thats OK... i think orli's perfect too!

(qualification: perfect as Legolas)

[Lynx]

yes, yes. I agree. :) haha. no hard feelings? haha.

Galadriel-Jade
Arwen-Sophie
Strider-Johnny
Legolas- Tim (With the hair and all!)
Gimli-Jade again
Frodo-Alex

[ToshiMustgrind]

Worst cast submission: anyone that wasn't in this movie.

Arnold Swatrzennagger - Strider
Mini Me - Gimli
John Goodman (he's a good actor 'n all) - Elrond
Meg Ryan - Arwin
Matt Damon - Frodo
Ben Afflick - Samwise

[Daughter of Finarfin]

Arnold as Strider! Oh, that is a bad one. I can picture him killing an orc and going "Hasta LaVista Baby!"

[Herenyë]

Britney Spears = Arwen.....(britney YUCK!!!!!!!!! cough*totally fake everything*cough

Antonio Banderes (dunno how to spell his name) = Gandulf

Patrick Sewize (dude from dirty dancing) = Aragorn

[Iarfirithwen]

And when at Weathtop he'd give the Hobbits theirs swords and then say
"I'll be back"
lol
Classic!


And thanks Melkor for changing your mind or correcting or qualifying what you said on Sean Bean. I though his was one of the best performances of the cast [and yes Orli was great but he just had to turn up on screen to be good, a performance wasn't necessary ;) ] I actually think Bean would've made a good Aragorn too, though I do love Viggo in the part.

[Iarfirithwen]

The Hobbits : N'Sync
Bilbo: William Shatner (shrunk)
Gandalf: Tim Allen
Strider: Tom Hanks roflmao (tempted to keep Arnold because its too funny, bit thought I'd change)
Elrond:Adam Sandler
Arwen: Jennifer Love-Hewitt
Galadriel: Meg Ryan
Legolas: Leonardo DiCaprio or Wil Weaton
Gimli:Jack Black
Boromir: Pierce Brosnon (have I ever seen him out of a well taylored suit ?....I mean in other clothes :blush: )
Saruman: Anthony Hopkins (I like him but I'd be expecting him to say, "You will taste man flesh, ... and then wash it down with a nice Chianti, tf tf tf tf tf tf tf tf)
Eowyn: Uma Thurman
Faramir: Ethan Hawke
Eomer: Eminem (Can he rap and ride a horse at the same time?)
Theoden: Charlten Heston
Gollum: Ahmed Best

[Bess the Bard]

Here's my worst cast scenario:

Frodo--Macaulay (sp?) Culkin
Sam--Kenny from South Park
Merry--Mary Kate &
Pippin--Ashley
Bilbo: Judy Dench's mother (See SED commentary)
Gandalf: Brent Spiner
Strider: Kevin Sorbo
Elrond: Samuel Jackson
Arwen: Anne Heche
Galadriel: Cher
Legolas: Lou Diamond Phillips
Gimli: Tom Arnold or Joe Pesci (close call there)
Boromir: Lucy Lawless
Saruman: Martin Sheen
Eowyn: Drew Barrymore
Faramir: Jeff Goldblum
Eomer: Michael Dorn
Theoden: Tom Baker
Gollum: Chris Rock

[Sharky]

The Star Trek LOTR Cast

Gandalf: Jean-luc Picard (The only one with acting skills)
Frodo: Wesley Crusher (For doing stupid things at stupid times)
Sam: Geordi La Forge (Handy bloke to help in a tight fix)
Merry: Hikaru Sulu (Comic relief....)
Pippin: Pavel Chekov (....with funny accents)
Aragorn: William Ricker (Reluctant to take command)
Elrond: Mr Spock (He already has the ears)
Bilbo: Dr McCoy (Its the Ring Jim, but not as we know it)
Arwen: Deanna Troy (Combines 2 annoying characters)
Gimli: Montgomery Scott (She'll no' make it through the mines cap'n)
Legolas: Data (For the rapid fire arrows)
Boromir: Worf (Kick arse attitude)
Saruman: Q (Mr Magic)
Arwen: Seven Of Nine (The good...)
Theoden: James T Kirk (The bad....)
Gollum: Nelix (and the ugly)

[Herenyë]

OMG thats horrible.....HAHAHAHAHA.......

[Catz]

OMG Sharky....thats brilliant!!!!lol roflmao roflmao roflmao lol :thumbs:
:catz:

[Herenyë]

Still Laughing.........HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHA..........good job!

[Elf angel]

roflmao roflmao roflmao :thumbs:

[Daisy Gamgee]

this isn't an original idea, just a titbit of trivia I read somewhere which I thought was funny

I read that Johnny Vegas auditioned for the role of Sam:elfeek:
I could just imagine him saying "hullo monkey" to Frodo or anyone else to that matter lol
(For those who don't know Johnny is a comic from England, who did the adverts for the now bust ITV digital company)

[Bonos-Girl]

omg....is that seriously true.....hee hee lol lol...that is so amusing!!!

[Eowyn]

ahhhhh! your actually scaring me! although some of these should be made for comic relief! lol

[Achila]

And speaking of Brits, how about Graham Norton -- couldn't you just see him as Merry or Pippin?????


LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[Eowyn]

nooooooooooo! not Graham

[Achila]

noooooo????? Then here's one even more awful....Rowan Atkinson as Frodo!!!! roflmao roflmao roflmao

[Eowyn]

argh :o roflmao

[Lyrkalas]

Obviously one can't beat the original cast of the LOTR movies, but if you were to parody the film or just think up the most mis-cast cast, who would you pick? Here's my list as an example:

Frodo—Danny DeVito
Merry and Pippin—Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen
Sam—Ice-T
Gandalf—Robin Williams
Aragorn—John Travolta
Boromir—Robert DeNiro
Gimli—Harvey Keitel
Legolas—Colin Farrell

[Lady of the Galadhrim]

lol omg that is soo funny!!!! lol roflmao

[Galadhrim]

Aragorn - John Travolta... lol roflmao lol
I think Arnold Schwarzenegger, Silvester Stallone, Steven Seagal, and Jean Claude Van Damme as the hobbits would also make it an... interesting experience... lol

[Tar-Ancalimë]

If you're interested, there's an old thread on the worst cast possible here (http://www.warofthering.net/forums/vbulletin225/upload/showthread.php?s=&threadid=334)... kind of what you mean here, I think

[Brego]

I like ure style Lyrkalas, that right made me laugh Danny De-Vito as Frodo had my howeling lol

[Lyrkalas]

Complete with balding head and New York accent, eh?!

[Tar-Ancalimë]

I have a friend who thinks Colin Farrell is a god. She would infinately prefer him over Orlando Bloom. And I'm completely serious. Neither of us like Bloom very much ;)

And hey, if Bloom can change from dark to light, I'm sure Colin could... even better, probably ;)

[Galadhrim]

I just don't like Colin Farrel. Not that I'm saying he's a bad actor, there's just something about him that doesn't appeal to me. He's just, I dunno... unappealing. Definitely not 'the fairest of all creatures'... lol

[Achila]
