“Honestly, that’s entirely going to be up to Viggo, collaboratively and we are at a very early stage. I’ve spoken to Viggo, Andy [Serkis] has spoken to him, Peter [Jackson] has spoken to him, we’ve all spoken to each other and honestly, I cannot imagine anyone else playing Aragorn, but it will be completely and entirely up to Viggo.”“I know Andy wants to work with him, but also, we don’t see this as like, using A.I. [technology], this is about a digital make-up, and whether Viggo does it or will entirely depends on how good the script is. And he doesn’t have a script yet. So to be fair to Viggo, let’s see if we write a good enough role and that he can find enough in it to see that it’s a performance he wants to take on. After that, it’ll be between Viggo and Andy of how that is achieved.”“I suspect if he decides he doesn’t want to do it we would still want him to be heavily involved, like how do we hand this character off. But literally that decision is several, several months away. He’s got to read the script first and that’s exactly what I’m going to be working on when I get out of this interview [laughs].”
Based on the story as currently described, it would take place between the time Gandalf became suspicious of the ring, sending Frodo to Rivendell and placing it in an envelope for Frodo to keep. When Gandalf returned, he had Frodo throw it in the fireplace with words for the One Ring appearing. In the movie, no indication of time passing was really shown but in the books that time frame was actually 17 years. Most of the hunt was done by Gandalf, Aragorn and minions of Sauron who ultimately captured Gollum first.
