It has recently been revealed that studios were keen to see one of the beloved hobbit characters killed off
July 30, 2021 - 10:24 BST Emmy Griffiths Lord of the Rings stars Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd have revealed that the director of the hit trilogy, Peter Jackson, was pressured by the studio to kill off one of the hobbits - and they think it would have been Merry! Chatting on The Friendship Onion podcast, the actors, who played the cheeky duo Merry and Pippin in the trio of films, opened up about which hobbit would have been killed off.
Loading the player... var track=function { dataLayer.push; }; var playerInstance=playerInstance || []; playerInstance['VhwV1YTA']=jwplayer; playerInstance['VhwV1YTA'].setup; //TODO: convert static variables to dynamic function getDataPermutive { return new Promise=> { let maxRetries=2; let countRetry=0; let checkingInterval=setInterval { if => { try { let playerConfig=playerInstance['VhwV1YTA'].getConfig; let tagUrl=playerConfig.advertising.schedule[0].
Dominic said: “It’s a good job that didn’t happen, because it would have been me. It definitely would have. There’s no way they are killing Frodo and Sam, and the only ones that would be left would be Merry and Pippin.“They wouldn’t kill Pippin because Pippin has a really strong story with Gandalf. It would have definitely been me. I think Pete quite rightly was like, ‘This is a luminary piece of written work, and we need to stick close to the text.’ So, he stuck by his guns.
