I don't like Javier Bardim as the lead, though (like him, but not in this role). But I can't think of anyone else, because I used to picture Roland as Clint Eastwood.

They escaped the ringwraiths by going to Rivendell where Elrond and the Elves magic protected them. IN Brooks' book, they escaped the skull bearers by hiding out with the King of the Silver River. Water is used in both examples. And the comparisons go on and on.<br /><br />Sword of Shannara is a best-selling book that point for point stole from the Fellowship of the Ring. Terry Brooks has since that time, redeemed himself by finding his own voice. But he should be ashamed that he so blatantly stole another writer's work. Random House should be ashamed they published it.<br /><br />As for the book that I would like to see made into a movie?
