That would be incredibly stupid if they put him in the movie.

Have all three parts been filmed ahead of time like The Lord of the Rings was?cslayer211

On-topic, I imagine its just going to be a background elf or something. Its probably going to be similar to how Peter Jackson does his cameos in LotR.

Did you see him in Law and Order? He was great!

I sure as f uck hope not.

That's 5 seconds too much. I can't stand him.

According to the article Colbert can speak "the language" of the elves, but the article doesn't say if he speaks Quenya or Sindarin.

Which Law and Order? Was it a recent episode?

[QUOTE="Laihendi"]He really did run though. I'd like to see him in the movies, but he seems a little old to play an elf.Laihendi

It's well known that he is a huuuge LOTR fan though. Guy knows his LOTR lore. He and James Franco went toe to toe in an episode with Colbert besting him. I have no problem with the whole thing.

Principal photography wrapped up a couple of months ago, but they'll probably be doing pick up shoots here and there pretty much up until film 3 is released. That's how it went with 'The Lord of the Rings'.

He's around the same age as Hugo Weaving. And yes, Elves do age. Granted they age very slowly, but they do age.

He is an actor. Big deal. I remember him from the Dana Carvy show. (a short lived comedy show also with Steve Carrell)

I'll give him a chance.

He would make a good looking troll.

Cool if he is, no big deal really. I've gotten tired of him, his act has ran it's course, and the people that go to him and Jon Stewart for their news are just LOL worthy. They are comedians, not news casters or reporters, they both have a liberal biased agenda to their shows too. You are not supposed to take them seriously.

ITT people assuming Colbert would act like he does on his show in the movie.

I don't see how people would lose interest in the movie over him getting into the movie unless they're some kind of extreme conservative. I would assume if Colbert actually got into the movie (assuming Colbert is even serious about this), that the director's wouldn't just let h8im make a mockery of their film.

If true then my interest for The Hobbit has lessened. LJS9502_basic

That's kind of pathetic.

[QUOTE="Laihendi"][QUOTE="whipassmt"] Well most of the elves are old, except they don't really age.

I guess there's Cirdan if you count his beard but that's all I can think of.

[QUOTE="Laihendi"] Yeah that's what I'm saying. I don't think elves are supposed to look like middle-aged humans. I guess with enough makeup it can work.Laihendi

"The Elves were sufficiently longeval to be called by Men "immortal", but they were not unaging or unwearying." - J.R.R. Tolkien, in a letter dated from 1963 (published in 'the Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien')

You really think he's going to be playing Stephen Colbert in the movie? At most he'll probably be in an unspoken cameo role who's on screen for like 2-3 seconds, like Peter Jackson, Peter Jackson's kids and Viggo Mortenson's son in the 'LotR' films.

All these guys having a pissy fit over an actor playing a small acting role in a movie really is lol worthy. He is a huge fan of the lore, was invited to the sets and Peter jackson probably let him have a small couple second cameo. Like worlock said this is pretty pathetic.

[QUOTE="worlock77"]

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]Not really. It completely cheapens the experience of the movie. There shouldn't be outside cameos in a movie like this. I'm in the same boat as LJ. If he's really in it, my interest goes from through the roof to 'meh'.

Who says anyone cares? They're offering their opinion, we're offering ours. Isn't that kinda the point of forums such as these?

Here's an idea....and it's a wild one, so bear with me here for a moment....but how about waiting until you've actually seen the film, and seen what his role is, before deciding that it cheapens the movie or that he has no business being in it?

Possibly. He played Stephen Colbert in Strangers with Candy!

Has there been anything in which he hasn't played Stephen Colbert?

Granted, it wouldn't be such a bad thing if he came up with Elf ears playing himself!

'Strangers With Candy', being a satire movie/show set in modern times, and one in which Stephen Colbert co-created and co-wrote, is a little bit differnt from something like 'the Hobbit'.
