90's LORD OF THE RINGS - Teaser Trailer | Mel Gibson, Sean Connery | Retro AI Concept

[@stryderHD]

This is my 90's LORD OF THE RINGS - Teaser Trailer | Mel Gibson, Sean Connery | Retro AI Concept that in this concept would've come out somewhere in the early 90's starring Mel Gibson, Sean Connery and many more and I portrayed this video through "A.I." what it could look like if they made an A/B list hollywood cast. I can't believe it but it's getting close to 25 years since The Fellowship of the Ring was released. I hope you enjoy and if you like it please like, comment and subscribe for many more videos like this weekly.

[@spiderxand]

Sir Connery actually turned the role down. I think Mr Swayze would have loved to have played Legolas. For a future AI concept? I suggest an M2 trailer. Featuring Spider-Girl, J2, Fantastic 5, etc.

Pretty good. I wonder if aging actors are selling the rights for future movies to be made with their younger selves and what the laws are. LOTR movies were very good, but they can be improved upon. I'd like to see new episodes of Star Trek TNG with the way the actors looked in the early 90's. Eventually we will probably see these things.

@@Donathon-f6f Utterly broke my heart. Even when I was a stupid little girl, Robin Williams (in large part thanks to Fern Gully, which is odd even in itself) WAS Tom Bombadil when I read Lord of the Rings. Such a passionate, fervent man. I wish so much that we could care more and hurt less, both of which are terribly fraught prospects. One is the lifespring of all that is good, and the other feeds selfishly in that same well. Please give us the strength to continue, to ask and grow towards that which helps more, ... harms less. Help us to see clearly so we can give, and receive with grace all that we've earned.

@@wolverine19881993 Anthony Hopkins would have been the perfect person to portray the Denethor from the books - a proud, noble and valiant man fallen into deep despair and enroaching lunacy because of the corruption of a much greater force. The movies did a dirty on Denethor by simplifying him to just a monster of a man and father, whereas in the books Sauron had had to use all his guile and effort to break him over the course of several years through the Palantir. They had to take shortcuts to make the movies work, but still the character of Denethor could have been more nuanced and Hopkins would have been the best choice to give us that nuance.

Indeed David Bowie really wanted to play Elrond, also it was Christopher Lee's life long dream to play Gandalf, but in the end he did the most incredible portrayal of Gandalf's alter ego Saruman.

[@oskariratinen1213]

Huh? How is Saruman Gandalf's "alter ego"? Saruman is a maia called Curunír, Gandalf is a maia called Olorin. When Gandalf comes back as Gandalf the White after "dying" in the duel with the balrog, he does say that he is Saruman as Saruman should have been, but that doesn't mean they are the same entity. It means that Gandalf will be the White Wizard Saruman failed to be.

[@checkmagik]

I'd say he just confused "alter ego" with "nemesis" or something.

Not only wanted Lee to play Gandalf, JRR Tolkien wanted him too for that role and even PROMISED it to him at one point - in fact, he was the only one out of the cast we got that still had known Tolkien in person. Jackson kind of did him dirty in multiple cases - still, he was great Saruman though.

So super good! Well done.

[@PatrickMccullum]

all I have to say. Is….. now do the whole complete trilogy form beginning to end. You could make 100's of millions.

[@Frankie5Angels150]

“Whole complete”, as opposed to what? Half complete? Whole unfinished?

[@smokinggun8418]

Relax the hyperbole, jesus.

[@mith2946]

But it would cost 1 billion so

[@pofdsjoijsodfjsoidf]

Cast Max von Sydow as Saruman.

[@brianbell8382]

The Fellowship: **Struggles to cross the Redhorn Pass to avoid going to the Mines of Moria.** Patrick Swayze Legolas: "There is a Ghost voice on the air." Sean Connery Gandalf: "IT'SH SHARUMAAAN!!!" **Camera pans from the Misty Mountains to Isengard showing Saruman chanting a spell at the peak of Orthanc.** Max von Sydow Saruman: "THE POWER OF CARADHRAS COMPELS YOU!!!"

[@joebombero1]

Genius

[@JamesSmith-ef8kg]

This is pretty slick. I would have to say that would have been an awesome cast!

[@indochinajames3372]

Dumbledore as Sauron has to be one of the most fascinating and unexpected crossovers in fanfiction

[@fernansanchez6331]

Saruman*

[@NicolaFazio]

Bowie as Elrond is very impressive! Could it be that Elrond has been playing Bowie for 50 years?

[@jdmonte55]

Gleesen would’ve been crazy as gimli. Also seeing kilmer as boromir would’ve been dope

[@ennio5461]

Brendan Gleeson as Gimli seems like he would grab orcs neck and chock them saying “Tell me where is Aragorn, or I will pull your guts through your throat!”

[@cyric28]

Shoulda remembered the rocks......

[@HouseofBones_Skully10_31_4EVER]

This REALLY makes me wish they could have gotten that cast together for those films cause MY GOD what a show they would have put on and a tribute it would have been to J.R.R.TOLKEN

[@Momcat_maggiefelinefan]

Well done! A great job of choosing the best men for this generation of the characters. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦

[@Radtradslim]

These are so much fun to watch it really helps to forget about stuff and put a smile on my face thank you

[@paulmcallister7909]

Now that is one hell of a cast!! Well done.

[@oldwowmovies4641]

Omg this is crazy cool!

[@RockyMtn5280]

This guy should be a casting director for all the studios he knows better then the studio people themselves, awesome once again 👍☺️☺️☺️

[@metteandersen3564]

I agree. New caster, please.

[@clubackles3728]

My favorites are Tom Bombadil and Gandalf and Grima, also Pfeiffer would've been an amazing Galadriel.

[@Legend4501]

The mix of reasonable casting choices with batshit insane ones makes this trailer one hell of a ride.

[@Christopher-po8pt]

This is great love the choices. Jennifer Connelly as Arwen! You got good taste sir !

[@MrSprigg]

The most beautiful woman on the planet in the 90s, bar none. Of course she would be Arwen.

[@Geni-yh1pv]

[@vikimseruh4500]

All I can say is wow! I am 60 and yes I could see Lord Of The Rings with these actors. Sad that only AI can show us this, but I am really impressed at the concept. Well done.

[@mancubofthenorth4554]

Very weldone stryderhd , instant subscribed and looking at you other videos

[@wallerron]

I have to agree to everyone saying the casting is absolutely brilliant.

[@rpgadventurer32]

It's also impossible. It would have made the movie the costliest movie of all time and the most bombastic.

[@JoJo-vg8dz]

1 billion just for the actors. 😂

[@NoName-hg6cc]

"Great Ilúvatar, you must give the One Ring to Frodo, so he can travel to Mordor and destroy it" "Gandalf, that's heavy. But how?"

[@jackofspades5950]

I can imagine the Sean Connery in his thick accent yelling "YOU SHALL NOT PASS" Man I would have loved to have watched this with this cast.

[@gillescoin2374]

Fun fact : Jennifer Connelly is the only person less beautiful in AI than in reality.

[@matthewrileymcleanwilkinson]

I concur.

[@fushnick06]

I'd want to watch it all over again with this cast 👍🏼

[@zulutonic]

Now imagine the time when they can finally make a movie like that with these legends

[@echosackett4757]

I wish they had included Tom Bombadil in the movie. If so, Robin Williams would have been perfect!

[@johnwix9795]

Wow amazing work!!

[@dmed312]

Don't forget to put Hugo Weaving in there somewhere. He'd make a good elf.

[@gavinthree2607]

Yeah he'd make an excellent Elrond 😏

[@einheri]

Mr K Dilkington will be very pleased with Eowyn's casting.

[@timpearce2659]

Clive Warren could have played any of those parts

[@DustyPurple24]

87% great choices. What we got in reality, however, *chef's kiss
