Aragorn alias Viggo M. - der Fan Thread

[Fioridur]

Obwohl ich den Bart, den er als Aragorn trägt auch klasse finde, ich denke aber nicht, dass der dann wirklich alltagstauglich ist

Gut, einverstanden. Also Bart- und Haarlänge auf dem Foto für den Alltag - in Ordnung! Bloß, Arthemie, wie bringen wir ihm das jetzt bei? :kratz:

[Kitiara]

Aber womöglich ist es wieder ein "Rollenbart"?

Es könnte schon der*Appaloosa-Style* sein, aber Viggo ist ja bekanntlich immer für Überraschungen gut.

Das ist eine schwere Frage... Also mir schwebt da so eine verrückte Fan-Aktion vor, mit einer spektakulären Verfolgungsjagt und einer Entführung ...Mir würde da schon DIE passende Geisel einfallen: während ER in Deutschland festgehalten wird (von uns), können wir ihm dann das gleich mit Frisur und Bart verklickern...Muhaha

Uuups...das hab ich jetzt nicht laut gesagt, oder? :ironie:

Vielleicht sagen wir es ihm am besten gar nicht, und lassen ihn machen, was er will! *Höhö, als wenn wir das beeinflussen könnten*

Dann haben wir immer eine neue Überraschung, wenn er seine Frisur und /oder Bart verändert und können uns freuen (oder eben auch nicht )

Supi! Und der Publikumspreis ist so oder so der tollste, da wissen alle Beteiligten, dass der Film gut ankommt

Ich hätte auch nichts dagegen, wenn der Hauptdarsteller auch einen Preis bekommen hätte :)

Viggo the Sponge: Mortensen builds acting chops on deep, immersive research

4 days ago

NEW YORK - Viggo Mortensen is looking out the window.

Across the street from his Manhattan hotel, he notices a man on a balcony and wonders aloud what the man is doing, what his life is. The moment makes him ponder, "What does that mean?"

"Basically, I think life is relatively short," Mortensen concludes. "We're not here that long and I think we're lucky to be here.

"And it makes sense to pay attention."

A conversation with the 48-year-old star of the acclaimed new film "Eastern Promises" is likely to include such philosophical musings, delivered in Mortensen's characteristic even, almost hushed tone. The man many know as Aragorn from "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy is about as opposite as possible from a Middle Earth warrior - an enigma wrapped in a Mets T-shirt.

That's what Mortensen was wearing beneath otherwise stylish duds at a recent interview, where he made it clear that "Eastern Promises" - his second collaboration with Canadian director David Cronenberg, after 2005's "A History of Violence" - constitutes a major development in his life and career.

"It's been great for me as an actor, as an artist, in my personal evolution, to work with him," says Mortensen. "I know that David Cronenberg helped me do things, sometimes very subtle things, in a way that I hadn't been helped to do by other directors."

Critics have lauded Mortensen's performance as Nikolai, a low-level but rising Russian mobster living in London. Nikolai - who only speaks Russian or heavily accented, broken English - develops a relationship with a midwife (Naomi Watts) who's seeking answers behind the death of a Russian teenager and the baby girl she left behind.

The character is in some ways similar to the one Mortensen played in "A History of Violence"; both harbour secrets and have docile exteriors that hide a talent for mayhem.

"Eastern Promises" won the audience award at the Toronto International Film Festival last Sunday, creating some of the first Oscar buzz of the fall movie season. For both actor and director, it's a creative high point.

"We're working at the top of our game," says Cronenberg. "I certainly don't think I can do better."

Mortensen hardly speaks about anything but his admiration for Cronenberg. If he was a politician, his only talking point would be: David Cronenberg is a master of cinema.

"After working with him not once but twice, I know that there's just not too many directors out there like him," says Mortensen. "He is one of a handful of living masters."

For his part, Cronenberg playfully acts the jealous lover, who's spurned each time Mortensen makes a film with another director.

"There's a real intellectual and emotional camaraderie," says Cronenberg. "What that means is, we can start at a much higher level the first moment that we're doing a project."

Two of the film's trademark details came from Mortensen, who Cronenberg calls a "demon researcher." The actor stumbled upon a book called "Russian Criminal Tattoo," which details how jailed criminals in Russia have symbolic tattoos that tell their life story. Cronenberg quickly had screenwriter Steve Knight ("Dirty Pretty Things") incorporate them into the film.

The tattoos covering Nikolai are evident during a knife fight inside a bathhouse, a four-minute scene that has become the film's signature sequence. Before shooting it, Mortensen (whose character was to be draped in a towel) told Cronenberg, "It's obvious. I have to do this naked." The result is a terrifying wrestling match where flesh and blood are juxtaposed against sterile ceramic tile.

Mortensen was particularly fond of one tattoo which read, "The important thing is to remain human." For him, that means much more than being a movie star.

He's a photographer who has held exhibits around the globe, the founder of art book publisher Perceval Press, a pianist with a forthcoming classical CD titled "Time Waits for Everyone," a painter and a poet.

Mortensen generally shuns the flashy Hollywood lifestyle; he even declined a 2004 invitation to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Instead, he immerses himself in roles.

The actor dragged his sword everywhere with him while making "Lord of the Rings" and took a road trip through the Midwest in preparation for "A History of Violence." For "Eastern Promises," he spent several weeks in Russia researching his character.

Each experience usually results in a book of his photography published by Perceval, and sometimes - as with 2004's "Hidalgo," the horse-riding action flick - an adopted equine.

Like a sponge, he seems to soak up everything wherever he goes. That may be a product of Mortensen's upbringing, which was spread out across New York, Denmark and Argentina.

His first break in movies was in the 1985 film "Witness." Small parts followed, but he began showcasing his ability in Sean Penn's "The Indian Runner" (1991), Brian De Palma's "Carlito's Way" (1993) and two 1998 Alfred Hitchcock remakes: "A Perfect Murder" and "Psycho."

He was cast at the last moment for "The Lord of the Rings" when Stuart Townsend was jettisoned, having been judged too youthful to portray the world-weary Aragorn. It's a quality Mortensen seems to specialize in, as he showed in "Hidalgo" and both Cronenberg movies.

Is it a characteristic Mortensen himself shares?

"Sometimes. It's hard not to get depressed when you pay attention to the world and how strangely and corrupt the people in it sometimes behave," replies Mortensen, who has never shied away from political dialogue.

Mortensen recently finished shooting "Good," about a professor who becomes enmeshed in debates on euthanasia in 1930s Germany. He'll soon begin production on the Ed Harris-directed "Appaloosa," and has been reported to be in talks to star in the adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's "The Road."

It seems clear that Mortensen has declined the career of a blockbuster movie star, which was available to him after "Rings" and "Hidalgo."

Naturally, the actor blames Cronenberg.

"I have higher expectations of other directors having worked with him," says Mortensen. "I can't really expect that I'm going to run into another person as gifted as him, but that doesn't mean I can't find other stories."

Will 'The Road' go on with Viggo Mortensen?

Jim Cooper / APThe "Eastern Promises" star is attached to the film version of Cormac McCarthy's post-apocalyptic novel.The Cormac McCarthy novel is a Hollywood favorite and could head to the big screen soon.By Chris Lee, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer

September 20, 2007 The material seems intended more for brooding literary-types than multiplex moviegoers: Cormac McCarthy's novel "The Road" depicts a sunless, hopeless world in which cannibalism and sexual enslavement are everyday realities and all the wildlife is extinct.

But since being published last year, the Pulitzer Prize-winning bestseller has had Hollywood talking, winding up on the nightstands of Sean Penn, writer-director Peter Berg and Brad Pitt, among others.

http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/...-entnews-moviesNow, after being championed by Oprah's Book Club in June, a big screen adaptation is about to get the go-ahead. Dimension Films is in final negotiations to acquire North American distribution rights to "The Road," with Viggo Mortensen expected to star and John Hillcoat ("The Proposition") attached to direct.

"Cormac McCarthy is simply one of the most admired, talented and respected authors of his generation and 'The Road' is one of his masterworks," Dimension's co-chairman Bob Weinstein said in a statement.

Mortensen would portray a father struggling to transport his son across a post-apocalyptic wasteland to a rumored safe zone on the coast, battling criminals, insane people and other survivors en route. "Visually, it's going to be a very beautiful movie," Mortensen told MTV earlier this month, seeming to confirm rumors of his involvement.

The reclusive, septuagenarian McCarthy has become one of Hollywood's hottest writers. His novel "All the Pretty Horses" reached the screen in 2000. In November, the Coen brothers will release an adaptation of McCarthy's western/crime thriller "No Country for Old Men" starring Tommy Lee Jones and Javier Bardem. And the McCarthy novel "Blood Meridian," optioned by producer Scott Rudin, has been in development purgatory since the '90s.

Man beachte auch andere Kritiken zu EP. Er scheint Naomi Watts regelrecht an die Wand zu spielen.... ich bin ja sooo neugierig auf diesen Film.... :ugly:

@Balenda , danke schöner Artikel! Habe gleich mal einen Satz daraus zu meiner Signatur gemacht^^

Ich finde Viggos Ansichten von wegen Politik und Krieg echt klasse! Es gibt ja nicht viele berühmte Personen, die ihre Bekanntheit dann auch nutzen und versuchen gegen Krieg und ähnliches vorzugehen!

Echt eine tolle Sache, ich erinnere mich auch immernoch an die Deutschlandpremiere von (ich glaube es war) Herr der Ringe...da hat er erst mal zu den Fans gerufen : "Danke, dass ihr den Irak nicht angegriffen habt!" Nochmal: :respekt:

Noch ein hochinteressantes Interview, das uns etwas über Viggo's Filmgeschmack verrät, das von uns wohl nur die wenigsten erwarten hätten:

<H1 class=main-title id=articleTitle>

Viggo Mortensen Fights Nude In 'Eastern Promises' — But Could He Take Borat?</H1><H2 class="sub-title article">'I'd be a lot more scared of him than I would those two Chechnyan guys with the knives,' the actor says.</H2>By Josh Horowitz

if (GetCookieUtil("cCommunityAccess")=="true"){community.hide(document.getElementById('articleTools'));community.show(document.getElementById('articleToolsNew'));}

Onscreen he's most often a man of action, whether he's wielding a sword in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy or defending his family in "A History of Violence." But in real life, Viggo Mortensen — the sometime poet/painter/publisher and, yes, actor — is as gentle and soft-spoken as they come.

Mortensen's latest movie is the David Cronenberg-directed "Eastern Promises" (in theaters September 14), and his turn as a Russian mob man in the thriller has many talking Oscar. In a recent conversation, the 48-year-old actor revealed whether he'd be up for "The Hobbit," which Adam Sandler film he's obsessed with and why he insisted on filming a brutal fight scene in the buff.

MTV: It's the second time in a row for you and David Cronenberg. Why does this partnership work so well?

Viggo Mortensen: [We] had a great time on "A History of Violence." One of things I like about him is he's got a great sense of humor, so we would be doing the grimmest scenes in that movie and still laugh a lot. He has a little bit of a twisted sense of humor, which I happen to like.

MTV: There is some dark humor in this film.

Mortensen: You never know how it's going to translate until you see it with an audience. We saw it two days ago with a big audience for the first time, and I was really glad to see the little things between the characters that we found amusing really worked. They really got it. There are some sequences that are pretty hard-hitting, so it's nice to have some comic relief.

MTV: You did a lot of research to play this Russian man on the rise with the mob. It seems like you are always extremely committed to nailing down the small things for a role, whether it's tattoos or an accent.

Mortensen: David's that way too. One of the reasons I enjoy working with him is that he's very meticulous in how he prepares. He's like a scientist, maybe a mad scientist. He's very thorough and he's very open about what he finds. And he knows that I'm going to do the same thing. I'm going to go to extremes to research things. But what's great is that when he arrives on set he has it all in the back of his mind and says, "Let's play, let's see what happens." It is, after all, still play. There is a childish or childlike quality to doing good work, whether it's movies or theater.

MTV: The scene everyone will be talking about is the extremely graphic and long nude fight scene you have with two thugs in a bathhouse.

Mortensen: When you trust someone as much as I do David, you will do what it takes. There are sequences here where I'm pretty vulnerable and awkward. There's no other way to do it if you're going to do it realistically.

MTV: So you couldn't have done the scene with a towel?

Mortensen: Cronenberg said, "Well, here's the scene: You go into this steam bath with this old guy, and then he leaves and two guys come in and beat the crap out of you." [He laughs.] I think it would be silly if we were trying to avoid seeing certain things or to unrealistically have your towel on during the entire fight. People wouldn't believe it.

MTV: I have to admit, it made me think of another recent naked fight scene. Did you see "Borat"?

Mortensen: [He laughs.] Have we risen to their level? Excellent.

MTV: It's a good companion piece.

Mortensen: I guess that's debatable. I don't know.

MTV: Do you think you could take Borat in a naked fight?

Mortensen: I don't know. I'd be scared. I'd be a lot more scared of him than I would those two Chechnyan guys with the knives. Definitely.

MTV: What has been the best byproduct of being a part of "Lord of the Rings"?

Mortensen: The best thing, apart from the memories and the friendships, is getting roles like this. Even if David had wanted me in "A History of Violence" or this, no studio would have said OK unless I were a relatively well-known actor. Because "LOTR" did so well, we all got a chance to do other things. That's the main thing, the opportunities. Then you need to know what to do with it. I've been fortunate to do some good stories.

MTV: There's talk of a film version of "The Hobbit" (see "Orlando Bloom Says He's All Done With 'Pirates,' 'Lord Of The Rings' "). Are you curious?

Mortensen: I'm curious about it. Anybody that likes [author J.R.R.] Tolkien or Peter Jackson's trilogy is interested in what happens. I'm not really in the loop. I don't know what's going on. It seems pretty obvious that Peter Jackson would be the person to direct it.

MTV: Aragorn isn't a part of that story. Is there any scenario you could imagine where you'd be a part of the film?

Mortensen: I have no idea. The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy borrowed from other sources. There were dialogue and set pieces that came from work outside of "Lord of the Rings" or took from the appendices, so you never know.

MTV: I heard you're a big "Happy Gilmore" fan.

Mortensen: Yeah. I think it's a really good movie. [He laughs.]

MTV: I think that might surprise some people. I don't know what that says.

Mortensen: It says I'm a dork. [He laughs.] I thought it was a very funny movie. What can I say?

MTV: Are you up for a cameo in a future Sandler flick?

Mortensen: Nothing is impossible, I guess. I don't think Adam Sandler or Will Ferrell fear competition from me in their arena.

MTV: Maybe you need to make your intentions known so they can fear you.

Mortensen: I've tried! [He laughs.]

Nix gegen Adam Sandler oder Happy Gilmore, echt netter und witziger Film, aber das hätt ich jetzt echt nicht gedacht.... :schaem:
