I just think it'd blow to attempt a canny prequel after The Hobbit with half the cast missing. =P Milking the cash cow. >.< Back for one last dance :D

So you likely won't get an email to lead you back here. I'll stick it down here. Look up manslaughter and apply Frodo's frame of mind in the movie to the struggle leading to the death of Gollum. Did it look like Gollum was going to fall as he danced in the movie? No. Did the struggle lead to his falling? Yes. I didn't imply that Frodo pushed Gollum in the book, not sure why you thought that. I mentioned eucatastrophe for a reason. Gollum *falls* in the book. Nobody's fault, no struggle beforehand, no snarling Frodo. If I had a back and forth with you over these comments and you eventually fell off your chair - you could blame me for your getting pent up. lol Frodo's actions led to Gollum falling. At what point is that anything like the book? Then let's get into a prequel to LotR with principals being asked to return. You're saying they don't appear before LotR in the books, yet actors are being asked to reprise roles. You getting the gist here yet? They're not exactly following the rules. The franchise has moved on and the IP isn't so well guarded as it used to be. It's in the hands of Hollywood now. Woe unto the setting. Ta, ta! o.O @str

Frodo did not push Gollum in the book and I think your view that pushing in an attempt to retrieve stolen goods is akin to manslaughter very strange. As for the characters some appear in the Hobbit but most simply do not. But actors can play different roles too while identicals roles cane be played by others as well. @Sarah,

If any of the characters appearing in a prequel were present in LotR, it stands to reason you have the same cast. If it didn't, why are we getting reports of actors saying no? Somebody is asking them. The Gollum thing. If I was a Middle-Earth law-enforcer I'd charge Frodo with manslaughter, Gollum fell due to a struggle, he didn't just fall the eucatastrohic way. >.< @str, I think s/he knows it’s not a second season, you can’t exactly lose the principals eveybody knows as their characters *before* a first season can you?

The role of Saruman will be very hard to play, as he must be credible in two ways: -swaying his fellow characters his way, even Gandalf, while already hinting at his ulterior motives -convincing the audience, that already knows him as a bad guy, that he is a good guy after all C.L. would have been up to the task, but who else is? @Vega,

What are you talking about - Gollum falls with the ring in the films too, with only a few details changed! @Jon,

Aragorn has just been born during the time the Hobbit is set. He could only appear in a bridge film. @Matt,

Let's see, there's Gandalf, Bilbo, Elrond and (for the film) Saruman, Galadriel and the Nazgul. @ady,
