Check out these photos of Frodo looking like Gollum photo



Did you get to watch The Hobbit this past weekend and eat your fill of Denny's Hobbit Menu, yet still want some more Hobbit-y goodness? Well this is probably going to either ruin or make your day. There was a scene cut from the the original script of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers in which Faramir has a vision of a future where Frodo loses control of himself and succumbs to the power of the ring. New Line Cinema released this photo (admittedly some time ago) of Elijah Wood's mock-up make up transformation...and it is something else. 

It's not quite Gollum, but it's pretty close. It's like part of Frodo's "hobbitmanity" is still trapped in there (instead of the transformation to full on creature, like Gollum) fighting the ring and losing. Oddly enough, the make up alludes to someone with a substance dependency problem. His skin discoloration, his eyes, nails, all amount to a visual representation of the Ring's underlying metaphor. I honestly would have enjoyed The Two Towers a bit more if this scene was kept in. Shame. You can peep the full Frodollum photo below the jump, and a few extras in the gallery.

Sin City 2 release date pushed back

Huh. This is quite a shame. It seems Robert Rodriquez's tactic of trying to push two films into his busy schedule, Sin City 2 and Machete Kills, doesn't seem to be paying off. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, once slat...

Disney made big changes to its 2014-17 release slate

When Disney first released the dates of its upcoming films earlier this year, it had only included what had been announced up until that point. Now that a few months have passed (and 1952 has changed its name to Tomorrowland ...

Extended World War Z clip is pretty much World War Z

World War Z has had nothing but rough times from its first rough looking trailer. First it got a forced new ending, then it was delayed and had to go through seven weeks of reshoots, then there was news t...

Trailer: R.I.P.D.

I was won over by R.I.P.D. very easily because its lead character is named Nick (and of course it features of one my boos, Mary Louise Parker). Now if all movies could feature a guy named Nick forevermore, I'd be totally coo...

Goyer talks Justice League, WB working on Aquaman

Whether we end up liking Man of Steel or not (Matt's review indicates we'll mostly like it), Warner Bros and DC are using it as the jumping point for the rest of their cinematic universe, starting with a Man of Steel sequel a...

Trailer: 300: Rise of an Empire

Here's the first trailer for 300: Rise of an Empire (which I still want to refer to as 299) and it's everything you should expect from a 300 movie...if you can remember back that far. Since the new film will take place at th...

Review: Man of Steel

I'm a staunch fan of Superman Returns (more on that in a future post), but the rest of the world wasn't so much. Thus, with Marvel dominating the superhero movie scene, DC went back to the drawing board with Christopher ...

Fables to get the movie treatment

I am not a comic book reader (anymore), but even I've heard of Bill Willingham's reportedly amazing Fables series. THR is reporting that the popular DC Comics (printed under their adult Vertigo line) has been tapped for ...
