Advertising in a Wellington newspaper, Wingnut Films is looking for men cm 4ft to cm 5ft 2ins tall and women measuring cm to cm 5ft. The two-movie project has yet to officially receive the go-ahead by MGM Studios due to ongoing financial woes.

The spokesman told the AFP news agency that the call was for "scale doubles" for actors with speaking roles, and further auditions for extras would take place at a later date. He added all applicants must be aged 16 or over and anyone not meeting the height requirements would be turned away.

Samwise Gamgee ended up being one of the bravest members of the Fellowship , and he never let his hobbit lack of height get in the way of doing extraordinary things.
For much of the trilogy, Sam and Frodo spend most of their time together, making Sam's stature less noticeable. Given Sam's big personality, it's easy to forget just how small he is. Hobbits are known for being short and appear only as children to the eyes of bigger folk, while their playful and immature attitude often doesn't help their status. As the youngest member of the fellowship, Pippin was all those things and often found himself to be a very small hobbit in a very big world.
Though all the hobbits were small, Pippin often seems smaller than the rest because of his childish pranks, sense of humor, and naivety. In a deleted scene in The Two Towers, he grows several inches after drinking some special water in Fangorn forest, but it doesn't make him act any more respectable.
One of the most famous hobbits who ever lived, Bilbo Baggins often preferred a fine meal, a roaring fire, and his pipe to grand adventures. But when called upon by Gandalf, Bilbo rallied to Thorin Oakenshield and the dwarves of Erebor, an adventure which led to him finding the One Ring through an interaction with Gollum. Standing 5 ft 5 inches, Sir Ian Holm was the perfect actor to bring Bilbo to life in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and his scenes with Gandalf Ian McKellen, 5 ft 11 inches show the dramatic difference between Bilbo and the wizard even without Peter Jackson's camera trickery.
Though he was hailed as a hero for destroying the One Ring, there were many times when Frodo wished the ring had never come to him. The journey to Mordor and Mount Doom was perilous, and ultimately the ring robbed him of his former carefree personality and made him a pitiable figure.
I'm 5 ft and 5 inches, Elijah Wood is the smallest member of the Fellowship. Much pressure rode on Frodo to carry the Ring to Mount Doom, and much pressure fell on Wood to carry the trilogy, but luckily he had an ensemble of great actors to help him. First appearing in The Two Towers , Eowyn was King Theoden's niece and didn't like to be told she couldn't defend the kingdom of Rohan like the rest of the men. Though Miranda Otto only stands 5 feet 4 and three-quarter inches tall, she made Eowyn seem just as capable and brave as every Rohirrim around her.
Like hobbits, Eowyn knew what it felt like to be underestimated. For this reason, she became a close friend of Merry's, who also proved his valor fighting by Eowyn's side.
