Beorn: Orc / Warg interrogation
|
Can't Post

|
Another bit found in the Hobbit Chronicles 4 was about a scene from a book where Beorn reveals how he interrogated an orc the night before.
"That Orc head magically appeared from Weta Workshop at very little notice when it was realized we needed it to illustrate a scripted moment, the result of a run-in the previous evening between Beorn and an Orc and Warg scouting party. It showed up on set literally minutes before the camera rolled!" (Ra Vincent, Set Decorator)
"As in the book, an impaled Orc's head warns of the consequences of trespassing on Beorn's lands"

That will probably explain why...

... Beorn is far behind the company as they run (seemingly for much of the next morning) towards his house, even though he seems pretty close to them in the opening scene where Bilbo sees him.

The odds that splatter-loving PJ would disregard this grim detail and leave it in the text were slim to none.
I had a strong hunch that Jackson would do more than just consider it.
Like all of the other prospective EE material, the scripted moment and ghastly "prop" would be welcome additions.
Thanks for uploading that gruesome photo, TheHutt.

After Bolg retrieves his father, one of the orc scouts that Azog may or may not have ordered to stay behind finds himself on the wrong end of a late-night tussle with the deadly werebear?
"That Orc head magically appeared from Weta Workshop at very little notice when it was realized we needed it to illustrate a scripted moment, the result of a run-in the previous evening between Beorn and an Orc and Warg scouting party. It showed up on set literally minutes before the camera rolled!" I could very well be misinterpreting the provided information (I tend to be wrong most of the time), but it has lead me to assume that the impaled orc-head prop was required for the outdoor shooting of the company's introduction to Beorn.

From memory, in the book there is also a warg skin nailed to the fence? Is there any mention of this anywhere?
To me this is far more impressive. Anyone can behead an orc, to skin a warg with your 'bear hands' is another thing.
I really hope this makes it in....

More than one way to skin a Warg?

I presume that Beorn was in Mannish form when he skinned the Warg.

I don't think we'll see this scene in the EE

With the switch from 2 films to 3 films they moved the "Azog returns to Dol Guldur" scene much earlier. I think that in the original structure Azog would have returned to Dol Guldur AFTER failing to nab the dwarves in the barrel sequence. It would have opened film 2 (*of 2).
Since the barrel sequence was moved to the middle of a second film, the Azog talk w/ the Necromancer no longer worked as a mid-piece scene since it (re)introduces the audience to his motives, and really is a "beginning of the movie" type of the scene. So they squeezed it into the Beorn section of the film, now the opening of film 2 (*of 3), REPLACING a scene in which Beorn confronts the warg scouts. We may still see the head on the stake during the scene in which Gandalf & Bilbo introduce Beorn to the dwarves but I highly doubt we'll see any form of a battle during the night.
