Aragorn's destiny
Viggo Mortensen is interviewed on becoming Aragorn. Alongside it is yet another excellent film-related Quicktime video.
With his ruggedly handsome exterior and coolly courageous performance, actor Viggo Mortensen embodies Aragorn in a way that's wholly true to both J.R.R. Tolkein's literary creation and Peter Jackson's cinematic vision.
Too bad the actor does not believe in liberating people from the forces of evil in the real world. Indeed, he compares the current United States government to Saruman and when seeking to condemn actions in the Second World War can only find the bombing of Dresden in his moral lexicon.

Just proves what a great actor he is, eh?
Missed his poetry reading at the protest yesterday, but have read about it.

Can You make A fourth Movie and call it something like "The Remake of the Ring". In the begining a man remakes the ring. And have Aragorn be under a spell to live as long as a elf. And at the end of a movie have Mordor and Saruman to be gone forever.
