Star Trek has always been political but sometimes it's less subtle about it

It was 20 years ago (ish) :: Empire magazine publishes The Lord of the Rings: A Celebration, a special booklet enclosed with the magazine's January 2004 issue, which was released in December 2003. The booklet carried interviews with the principal cast of the LOTR trilogy as well as a significant amount of the creatives involved. The photography was taken in Watford, New York, Wellington, London, Sydney, Los Angeles, Surrey, Melbourne, and Vancouver between February and October 2003. Shown here: Ian McKellen (Gandalf), Elijah Wood (Frodo), Billy Boyd (Pippin); John Rhys-Davies (Gimli/Treebeard), Dominic Monaghan (Merry), Sean Bean (Boromir); Orlando Bloom (Legolas), Sean Astin (Sam), Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn); Miranda Otto (Eowyn), Andy Serkis (Gollum/Smeagol), Liv Tyler (Arwen); Bernard Hill (Theoden), Christopher Lee (Saruman), Karl Urban (Eomer); Hugo Weaving (Elrond), David Wenham (Faramir), and Cate Blanchett (Galadriel). [Note: Dominic Monaghan's photo here is an outtake; the actual shot in the booklet can be seen here. These photoshoots provided several excellent outtakes that I'd be happy to share if there is interest.]

And here we are. 

20 years of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (18 December 2002)

[velvet4510]

If you consider the story of LOTR itself - and, more specifically, the Fellowship members - in full chronological order including the appendices, the story technically ends with Gimli and Legolas departing from Middle-earth, the last ones left of the family that they found so many years ago, during an age of war.

If the movie trilogy had told the entire tale, the final scene would’ve been the aged dwarf and eternally-young Elf turning away from the tombs of their departed king and two dear hobbit friends from so long ago, walking out of Minas Tirith to the shores of Ithilien, stepping onboard a little ship, and sailing into the horizon together.

Just imagine seeing Orlando and John performing a silent scene like that, perhaps in a long take with a few dissolves and quiet music, to end the trilogy on.

One can dream…

no more character and personality quizzes. the only way we are categorising people from now on is by which cast member of the fellowship they are

elijah wood: the baby of the group, just vibes, always tired, forgetful

sean astin: mom friend, anxious bean, makes the plans and sorts everyone’s issues, actually has a healthy work/life balance

billy boyd: doofus no.1, rarely seen without doofus no. 2, sarcastic af, bit of a slut

dom monaghan: doofus no. 2, party city babyyy, bit of a drama queen, general shenanigans and tomfoolery

ian mckellen: the sophisticated friend, wise, tolerates everyone’s bs, can be a bit sharp

viggo mortensen: the artsy friend, deep and philosophical, a madness behind the eyes, gets into fights for fun

orlando bloom: the princess, naive but in a charming way, genuinely very sweet, will not let you forget that one time they fell off a horse

john rhys davies: just a jolly guy, always fun to be around, says it how it is, orders food for the table

sean bean: just happy to be here, kind and uncomplicated, a great laugh, always down to go out, scared of flying
