![]() So who should play Bilbo? Well for a start, an Elijah Wood clone is not going to cut it. Also mentioned is the recently departed Dr Who, David Tennant. But given that there are journalists out there willing to publish stories suggesting that the likes of Miley Cyrus and Cher are going to play Batgirl and Catwoman respectively in Christopher Nolan's next Batman film, we should perhaps take them with a rather large pinch of salt. McAvoy, who has indeed made forays into fantasy before, playing Mr Tumnus the Fawn in 2005's The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, is the frontrunner so far, according to press reports. I don't think anybody involved in that would want me to, either." Actually, so has he, with the Chronicles of Narnia, of course. Radcliffe himself suggested James McAvoy, currently riding high after the success of Wanted and The Last King of Scotland, would make a good Baggins. He needs to get back on that there stage as he did a couple of years ago in the revival of Peter Shaffer's Equus, although preferably without the zoophilia. Radcliffe is well aware that starring as the boy who survived wotsisname is no real grounding for a serious acting career, despite the incredible fame it has brought him. Whatever I do next, I don't think there will be any wizards in it!" "Honestly, I don't think they would want me anyway, it's just too close. "I'd have to say, 'Thanks but no thanks,' not that anyone has asked me," said Radcliffe. Speaking to the LA Times's blog in London, the Harry Potter star said he wanted to widen his range beyond the fantasy genre. With great timing, Daniel Radcliffe, an actor who manages to combine the twin sins of thespis in one dinky persona (namely, inability to act and complete absence of screen presence) ruled himself out of the running earlier this week. Three weeks was his estimated time of arrival, and given that Comic-Con took place in the penultimate week of July, we can surmise that the fun may finally be about to begin. After all, we have already had several years of speculation over who will get to strap on Bilbo Baggins' hairy feet, which cast members from Rings might return for the latter film, and most importantly how Jackson is possibly going to get two movies out of one not particularly lengthy tome.īut at Comic-Con, that Mecca of all things fanboy in San Diego last month, Jackson said he and Del Toro, who is on board as director and co-writer for the two films, would not be able to even think about casting until they had turned in their screenplay for the first movie and received the go ahead from the money men. Wood plays ex-lawyer Ryan Newman, the owner of a foul-mouthed “dog” who’s played by Jason Gann dressed in a ridiculously hilarious dog costume.It might come as something of a shock to dedicated Tolkienistas out there that The Hobbit, the two-part fantasy prequel to his Lord of the Rings trilogy which Peter Jackson is writing with Guillermo Del Toro, has not yet been given the final green light by studio New Line. Since The Lord of the Rings, one of Elijah Woods’ more prominent roles was in the television series Wilfred, which ran from 2011 to 2014. ![]() Then read on to see some of what Elijah Wood has done since The Lord of the Rings. (No, he did not quit acting!) Or maybe you need some recommendations on what to watch because you love Elijah Wood as an actor. But perhaps you’re curious to find out what else Wood did after that. Of course, nothing can come close to how monumental The Lord of the Ringswas. Without a doubt, the role had a lasting impact on his career, and now some fans even see him as the definitive Frodo Baggins.īut naturally, Wood has many other acting credits to his name. He returned as Frodo in a cameo in The Hobbit movies and even voiced him in two Lord of the Rings video games. The actor reprised the role once more in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers in 2002, and he closed the series off in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Wood might not have known it back then, but it would become his most iconic role to date. In 2001, Elijah Wood appeared on screen as the friendly little hobbit named Frodo in The Lord of the Rings.
