Digression: The 'bridge movie'.
|
|
|
My notion for a bridge movie is very different (I imagine) from what del Toro and Jackson originally envisioned (and don't forget that it was GdT who actually abandoned the idea before PJ became the director). At this point I would probably just concentrate on Aragorn and his development from a callow youth only recently apprised of his heritage to the experienced tracker, warrior and explorer who plights his troth with Arwen on Ciren Amroth. I'm not even sure how much of Gandalf and Aragorn's hunt for Gollum takes place in the movie-verse. Gandalf somehow located and spoke with the wretched creature, but Gollum seems to have been only recently released from Mordor at the time of the LotR films and we have little or no evidence that he was ever captured by Aragorn and taken to the Woodland Realm.
On the positive side, we can see how Aragorn meets and befriends Gandalf; we can follow the young Ranger's exploits in Rohan and Gondor and how he arouses the suspicions of a young Denethor. We can see what he learns from his experiences in the East and South of Middle-earth. And we can witness the successful raid that Aragorn (as Thorongil) leads against the Corsair fleet in Umbar before his reunion with his life-love in Lothlorien.
Such a film could probably only use Viggo Mortensen as a framing device, with King Elessar serving as narrator. A different actor would be required to play the younger Aragorn (more than one if we explore his birth and upbringing).
Of course, now, there is added reason to have some sort of appearance for Legolas into this movie and perhaps also for Tauriel.
