A futuristic LOTR.

[Meneltarmacil]

Oh, and happy birthday Menel! You and my brother share the same birthdate.

Thanks, Oddwen. My birthday was mostly ignored at my school, although some of my friends and I did go to a laser tag place the weekend before to celebrate. Had nothing to do with LOTR, though.

Actually, Aragorn might fit better wearing dark glasses and a trenchcoat and acting like he's going to set off a bomb all the time. Or maybe that would fit Boromir more than Aragorn. I don't know.

Aragorn could be a secret agent who's disguised as a homeless guy though.

[Oddwen]

Boromir's a mob boss...no no wait, Denethor's a mob boss. Boromir's the heir to the empire, and Faramir is the son who doesn't want any part of the violence.

Although wait, if Aragorn's the plainclothes agent, the better analogy would be that Saruman/Sauron is a mob boss.

No no no...Denethor's a mob boss, and Saruman is some guy who wants the homeless Hobbits out of the streets so he can build his Orthanc tower.

So Denethor's a mob boss, Saruman is a corrupt billionaire business owner, Hobbits are the oppressed homeless, Aragorn's an agent with a penchant for discarded food.

And Gimli? What of Gimli? He's a lawyer. But a good one. (Oxymoron?)

Eowyn is a punky goth chick with a pierced nose and dyed-black hair. Grima is the nerdy goth-wannabe. So.. he's basically his movie self with huge glasses, braces, a pocket protector, and a clip-on earring.

[Lachwen]

To get more specific on Shadowfax: he'd be Lamborghini Contash ("Contash" is spelled wrong, isn't it?). On a similar vein, Asfaloth is a Delorean DMC-12; not quite as flashy or fast as a Lamborghini, but just as cool.

The Nine are agents for the RIAA, cracking down on the hobbits for illegally burning a copy of the One Disc.

Elrond is a proponent of organic foods and farming.

Tom Bombadil is Johnny Depp (odd, does whatever the futz he wants, lives in a nice little out-of-the-way place with his beautiful singer wife).

Maeggaladiel: Brilliant!

AH!!! i hate those kids! Nerdy goth -wannabes...You know? The one's who think ICP is really gothic!? They make me soo mad when they ask me if the Robert Smith shirt i'm wearing is Marylin Manson...Marylin Manson is NOT, I repeat, NOT gothic... His is classfied in the Field of rock called "Shock Rock". If you really want to be gothic (This would make you a wanna-be) go listen to some Sisters of Mercy (something upbeat) or The Smiths or Morissey (Something gloomy) and even try some Bauhaus (The one and ONLY) or even some Rasputina (Chamber Goth Rock... it has cellos! ). If you don't like it well, that's your tastes.

And if you want to know more so you don't become a Grima, go to www.GOTH.net click on the hyperlink called "Goth?". If you can see the truth, and or agree you might have some chance.
*Just to let you know, there is such a thing as Punk Gothic... They basically our prototypes for the masses...

SORRY FOR POSTING TWICE! my computer had a brain blur.

[Boromir88]

The Ka, lol haha, "what's here I have in my pocket?" Also, you could add, Legolas' cosmetic superstore, just add Zebe's idea of Gimli. It just so happens the superstore, and Aragorn's cardboard box are right across from the bar Gimli drinks at .

Gimli would be a bar-room brawler, probably with some kind of military service, and/or criminal record.

Naww. Boromir's too outspoken. he would pull something like, "What is here that i have in my pocket?" in front of everyone whilst entering a bank...

Araogrn would work better. you know, his whole ploy of being "Mysterious".

[Beanamir of Gondor]

Perhaps Merry and Pippin could be clones. And Darth (oops, I mean Gandalf) could show up and swoop away with the wimpy twin Pippin, and Leia (oops again, I mean Merry) could go off and kick some butt on the Death Star.

I mean Field of Pelennor.

I would have thought of Aragorn more as a secret agent type in a futuristic LotR instead of a bum. A shady secret agent type to begin with, closer to Jason Bourne than James Bond, and the hobbits wouldn't be altogether sure of who he works for at first.

Ooo, that one's good. *nod nod* I must draw that... *scurries off, muttering*

I like the idea of Black Riders on motorcycles... And they could all wear full leather trench coats and ski masks. Instead of driving cars after the bridge incident though, they should have hang-gliders or jet-packs. Keep to the flying.

I was thinking more along the lines of Apache helicopters, actually.

Elrond: Anduril, flame of the west, forged from the shards of Narsil.
Aragorn: Sauron will not forget the...shotgun that....blew off his head.

*dies laughing* So funny, Boromir88! Must draw that as well...

Yay, a Delorean! *hugs* My brother is obsessed with those, and it's starting to rub off on me. o.O;;

So, would Snowmane be a big-a*se SUV that explodes when the Witch-King's chopper hits it? Of course, Theoden is blown clear so he doesn't die immediately. *nod nod* And Firefoot would be a Firebird, of course! *grin* Roheryn would be a Dodge Challenger. And the Mouth of Sauron would have a broken-down Ford that's only held together with rust.

[Elven-Maiden]

Galadriel would be a fortune teller, Elrond could be a millionaire and Arwen would be his rebel child who falls for a man in disgrace (Aragorn). Luckily his influence is positive and she doesn't turn out like a certain hotel heriess we all know and shake our heads at.

[Elven-Maiden]

And Barliman Butterburr wouldn't be a man (no sex appeal there) so he's be a gorgeous woman, reminiscent of Carrie-Anne Moss in Momento, but not evil. She'd get a big role and be vying for Aragorn's affections.

Boromir didn't die (he had actually faked his death because he was a coward and later overcame that and showed up just in time to save the day). Of course Barliwoman was so angry to see how he ditched them that she put her blade - err, machine gun - to his throat and was just about to shoot when she did a Willow and kissed him in the heat of battle before fighting alongside each other and winning the day.

What a messed up movie that would be!

[Morsul the Dark]

Well here's a few to add in

Gimli would be a burly construction worker of course
Gandalf would be an electrician
Aragorn-I agree homeless person
Legolas would most likely be a male model

and what would bring all these charactor's together?
