How Ian Holm will appear in the Hobbit films

Post by Voronwë the Faithful »

I have learned that a part has been written into the scripts for Ian Holm. Apparently older Bilbo (Bilbo-Prime) will enter a Black Rider Hole and return to the past from the future, just in time to advise younger Bilbo to take the Arkenstone, telling him to do what feels right.

Then, during the credits, Leonard Nimoy will perform The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins.

Just in case someone hasn't seen it

The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins
1. " . . . (we are ) too engrossed in thinking of everything as a preparation or training or making one fit -- for what? At any minute it is what we are and are doing, not what we plan to be and do that counts."

J.R.R. Tolkien in his 6 October 1940 letter to his son Michael Tolkien.

2. We have many ways using technology to be in touch, yet the larger question is are we really connected or are we simply more in touch? There is a difference.

Thank you so much.
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

For decades I have tried to forget that, ever since seeing it when it aired on TV. Alas, it is seared into my brain. Aieeee!

The rest of us were being refined and not noticing. :D

Um, no. The thought never occurred to me. And therefore, it never occurred to me than anyone would place such an unneccessary and inappropriate connotation on what I wrote. Actually, I posted the same thread at TORN and no one thought to make that connection, or if they did, they had the decency to keep it to themself. People there thought it was very funny and very clever. I'm embarrassed and chagrined that it would take this type of ugly turn at my own site. I'm going to lock this thread.
