Boba Fett

I'm waiting for news that Lawrence Makoare has been cast to play Lurtz in a psychedelic dream brought on by Bilbo putting on the ring for the first time.

I don't think "balked" is the right word, just confused. In answer to your question, maybe because Galadriel is some head honcho elf chick, and Legolas is just some elf. I hope it doesn't have that "Worf in the Star Trek TNG movies" vibe.

"Worf, what are you doing here??"

"I was on my way to..."

"Yeah yeah yeah, anywaaaaay..." *Explanation conveniently swept under the rug with a l'il wink at the audience.

I could maybe see why Galadriel would be in it, if she's like visiting Rivendell or something. But there's no need to put Legolas in it, other than to get the tween girls to go see the movie again.

Is Orlando Bloom still a hot piece of tween meat 10 years later?

Groucho

No, but the tweens who lusted after him then are now lusty housewives!

pinata242

They've moved on.

Sean O'Hara

I don't think she's been a tween since Fabian and Rickie Nelson were big.

pinata242

We're talking about lusty housewives, though. Look at all the lust oozing off of her! Though, I'm probably waaaaaay off base on the "wife" part.

Thanks, I just threw up. Is that butt crack??

The Hobbit delayed, yet again:

Budget blow-outs, an industrial dispute, even a race row have threatened to derail the latest JRR Tolkien blockbuster, The Hobbit. To that list can now be added a perforated ulcer, courtesy of director Sir Peter Jackson, who was taken to hospital in the New Zealand capital, Wellington, on Wednesday. Jackson, who had severe stomach pains, underwent surgery and is expected to make a full recovery, according to his publicist. But the illness will delay the start of filming in his native New Zealand of the two-part prequel to the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

I'm hoping all these obstacles will be overcome and both these movies will be amazing.

I'm curious about other movies that suffered through delay after delay but then were finally released years after they were initially thought to have been released turned out. Anybody have any examples?

Supermallet

Superman Returns.

whoopdido

Did any turn out good?

Drexl

Eyes Wide Shut went through a lot of delays and I thought it turned out well. Although, I wish Kubrick could have hung on long enough that the digital censoring controversy could have been avoided.
