“Brain trust” behind Lord of the Rings The upcoming film and live-action trilogy The Lord of the Rings: The Search for Gollum I would like Viggo Mortensen Return as Aragorn to the movie.
Speaking to The Playlist in an upcoming interview, Philippa Boyens – who was one of the writers of the original live-action Lord of the Rings trilogy and worked with Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh on the franchise as a whole – spoke about the upcoming live-action podcast. Action movie She revealed that she and Jackson Welch would love for Viggo Mortensen to return if he was ready for it.
“Honestly, it’s completely up to Viggo, collaboratively, and we’re at a very early stage,” Bowens said. “I talked to Viggo, Andy [Serkis] He talked to him, Peter [Jackson] I’ve talked to him, we’ve all talked to each other and honestly, I can’t imagine anyone else playing Aragorn, but it will be completely up to Viggo.
The Hunt for Gollum will not use AI to shorten Mortensen’s lifespan
Boyens also spoke briefly about the film, which takes place during The Fellowship of the Ring, right before Frodo leaves the Shire for Rivendell. The film follows Aragorn as he is tasked by Gandalf to find Gollum before he can share any sensitive information about the One Ring with anyone and return it to Sauron.
Although Mortensen was older than he was during his time as Aragorn, Bowens said there would be no use for AI technology in anti-aging.
“I know Andy wants to work with him, but we also don’t see it that way with AI [technology]“It comes down to a digital make-up, and whether Viggo will do it or not will depend entirely on how good the script is,” Boyens said. “And he doesn’t have a script yet. So to be fair to Viggo, let’s see if we write a good enough role and that he can find enough in it to see it as the performance he wants to do. After that, it will be between Viggo and Andy on how to achieve that.
If Mortensen doesn’t want to reprise his role, Bowens said they still want him to be “heavily involved” in the project, but stressed that any decision on that front is still a few months away from being made.
“I think if he decided he didn’t want to do it, we would still want him to be very involved, like how to deliver this character,” Bowens said. “But that decision is literally months away. He has to read the script first and that’s exactly what I’m going to do when I come out of this interview. [laughs]”.
