Harry Knowles dispells another Liv Tyler rumor - Lord of the Rings news - J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings

Harry Knowles of Ain't It Cool News has posted a small bone for LOTR fans. He recently spoke with co-screenwriter Philippa Boyens about Peter Jackson's 'The Lord of the Rings' movies.

Knowles only posted a summary of his talk with Philippa but he said she mentioned that she expected Orlando Bloom to become "quite something" after the movies have been released, that Elijah Wood undergoes the transformations for Frodo very well, that she now sees only Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn, and that Liv Tyler has a natural feel for speaking Elvish.

So, Liv can speak Elvish beautifully? That doesn't sound like the kind of guarded remark someone would say about an actress whose scenes are supposedly being cut.

Special thanks to David at Tolkien Online for the heads up on the article.
