...just what I was about to say. Though he probably won't join anyway, unless he get to use some guns/artillery (imagine him doing a last stand at the white tower with two uzis...ugh...).

If I ever got the chance to make a Tolkien film all my elves would be played by very aesthetic, fine and angular featured actors and actresses. Then this look would be further perfected by CGI somehow. For me the elves in the PJ films just didn't cut it. Cate Blanchet is attractive, yes, but in a very human way. The same goes for Angelina Jolie and many of the other actresses some of you here have suggested for Elfish roles.

If he was younger I think (looks-wise) Daniel Bernhardt would make a great Turin. Turin put most Noldor Lords to shame, if memory serves, and Daniel Bernhardt is very good looking, again in a very human way. He's just too 'manly' to play any of the elves, if you know what I mean. If you donâ€™t know who he is, he played Sirro in the Mortal Kombat tv series, and he was one of the agents in the 2nd Matrix movie (I think heâ€™s the one who fought a lot with Morphius in the free-way scene).

For Feanor I'd have to cast an unknown as I can't think of anyone who could pull it off. He'd need Christian Bale's 'style' and a look akin to Colin Farrel...

SORRY! Not having read the Sil more twice it wasn't easy to figure out the genders.

The fact that it ends in -las should give a hint though.

It would be hard to come up with a cast list without [m]any known actors, mostly because there's so many strong characters and we'd need strong actors to play them (and those often happen to be the most known)

Thanks. Inappropriate name suggestions have been removed from the cast list.

More importantly, what did he tell Glaurung when he left Glaurung to find his family?

ROTFL! You guys are funny.

I will resign from Entmoot if you cast Kevin Costner as Fingon the Valiant! Aaaaack!!!! Can you picture Kevin Costner rescuing Maedhros?!

Not that I can think of anyone for Fingon

Just some incredibly strong and handsome dark-haired unknown actor, I guess. NOT Mr. wimpy Costner!

Hmm, maybe a beefed-up whats-his-name, you know, the guy that was in the Last of the Mohicans? That performance had a bit of the feel of Fingon in it.

Jude Law would make a perfect Fingon.

Aaack!!! Noooooo!!! *applies mind bleach in copious amounts*

Good idea, Arty, Jude Law has a Fingon-ish look, too.

Oh, and I think the guy I was talking about was Daniel Day-Lewis. They're both dark-haired, intense-looking, high-cheekboned type guys.

Meee toooo!!!!! I totally agree, RÃ*an.

And please - no Sylvester Stallone.

You made an interesting list, though, Grey_Wolf: I couldn't stop laughing when I read this:

Talking about Jude Law: Uma Thurman could do Finduilas.

Yeah, Daniel Day-Lewis would do nicely.
