What about Ray Winstone in the role? After seeing him in Henry VIII I think he'd be quite admirable as the barbaric shapeshifter.

But Beorn is not comic relief within the book, his brutality is really quite stunning for a story aimed toward a young audience.

But Beorn is in my mind a character who is almost an antihero, I'll never forget how he nailed the Warg skin to a tree. Whoever plays him needs to have a real edge.

Yes, Gandalf never truly lived anywhere because he did not suffer from apathy (Radagast) or an overabundance of luxury (Saruman) and was the true moral centre of the Quest.

But is there hope at the end of LOTR? The Ents will die out, the elves are leaving, Gandalf has exhausted his purpose. It all seems quite nihilistic to me.

I beleive the Entwives to hae been in the Shire after a rereading. They loved order and gardens.
Sounds like a hobbit type of mentality, okay, that's pretty tenuous but it's all I got.

On the topic of inspiration gathered from Tolkien one of my scripts is being considered by the BBC, it's a historical epic about Richard III. I'm hoping it gets made! ;)
