My guess is that it'll take place during LOTR period where Bilbo is telling the story to Frodo. That's the only way I can see it making sense to have Ian Holm and Elijah Wood back.

So, I have read the LOTR, and I just read The Hobbit this quarter for the first time, but have never read The Silmarillion. How does that fit in the Middle Earth universe. :think:
Think of it as The Old Testament.Quote:

Goddamnitall, why did Ned Stark have to DIE????????Quote:
According to Deadline, they finally have a Bard the Bowman: Luke Evans. I guess LOTR used up all the stock of rugged and older Northern English, because Evans seems a little young and handsome for Bard. (Are there no Sean Beans left? I always pictured Bard to be more of a Viggo/Bean type.) I haven’t seen him anything, so maybe he’s such a badass that it makes up for his youth and smoothness.
Deadline also confirms a popular rumor that’s been floating around Tolkiendom: Benedict Cumberbatch’s top secret role is the voice of Smaug. I always did hear Smaug with a more posh voice, so I really dig this pick. I wonder if he’ll pull double duty like Jonathan Rhys-Davies, and actually appear somewhere in the film in a small role?

"Old Testament" is a very good analogy. It is a very hard book to read at first but, believe it or not, I've now read the damn thing 5 times. It's really a bunch of short "stories" but not much dialog...it's really a history book. If you want a simpler book the "Hurin" book that Chris Tolkien finished a couple of years ago is an expanded version of one of the stories in The Simarillion. It's pretty good.Quote:
