Galadriel in "The Hobbit?" - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Dakêsîntrah · 01-01-2010, 04:12 PM

Apparently Cate Blanchett is already set to reprise her role as Galadriel, albeit she will make her appearance in "The Hobbit."

It's been awhile since I've read the Hobbit, and I don't remember Galadriel in the narrative.

Any thoughts?

Galadriel makes no appearance in the book The Hobbit, and I fail to see how the character would make any significant contribution to the story. If Blanchett is in it, I would guess they'll likely switch some of the events taking place at Rivendell to Lórien. Why? Who knows, except to try and do more to tie the film together with LOTR. Then again, the Ring was supposed to be the factor that accomplished that, but maybe that's just not subtle enough for Del Toro.

If they're doing White Council scenes, then they could have Galadriel, or perhaps they'll put her in Rivendell for some reason.

The White Council would seem more sensible, even though what happened there really had no direct effect on Bilbo's adventure, save to deprive Thorin and Co. of Gandalf's guidance for a time.

Goodness me, Galadriel and Aragorn and Legolas in the Hobbit movie. Each getting more ridiculous than the rest. But if they're gonna do the White Council, perhaps Celeborn and Saruman should be there as well?

I think it was in other threads and some interviews that there will be two movies: one based on Hobbit and another telling the story of the White Council's attack on Dol Gudur and some other events which had happened between Bilbo's return and the War of the Rings. Apparently they need the Wise to be involved.

Legolas and Aragorn won't be there. Orlando Bloom wants to make a come back, but Jackson and Toro are a bit apprehensive about it.

Anyway, it does look good.
Will frodo have to get Galadriel to pick him up to look in it though?!!! Just a thought.

You know the film version of The Lord of the Rings has been out for oh... some little time now, don't you?

I know, I know: it can be hard to keep track of what the humans are up to– but do try, that's a good little bot!
