Wow... getting distracted by pictures as I try to decide...

I have a bit of trouble picturing him as any Elf... though, when you look at the differences in the characters he played in, say, Chocolat and Pirates...

Gyaah. I don't know.

Just... not Fëanor.

Or Túrin...

Ya let's get some brits in there!! I'm Canadian and this cast looks way to Americanized... which in the end will just make it more expensive...

Some suggestions and others can put them into places:

Anthony Hopkins

Clive Owen

Ioan Gruffudd

Keira Knightley

Rupert Everett

Izabella Scorupco

Christian Bale
Bale is freakin perfect for Feanor as some have allready mentioned, and he's gonna be Batman this year!!! Johnny Depp is one of my favorite actors and can easily play any role... but Bale is just too Feanor after watching American Psycho it just seems to fit so nicely.

Matthew McConaughy

Diane Kruger

Eric Bana

Adoni Maropis

Connie Nielsen

Kate Winslett

Minielin · 02-28-2005, 08:35 PM

(sheesh, HIM obsession.)

Ewan McGregor as Maglor...

Rupert Everett as Saeros.

Luthien is a hard role to cast... I'd say someone like Diane Kruger, probably with her hair brown or black.

I think Laim Neeson would make a good Tuor

Well, I agree that Depp is a good actor. Somehow, he just doesn't work for me as Feanor. I don't see that role as one that Depp could pull off believably.

BeardofPants · 04-16-2004, 02:41 PM

Johnny Depp. ::drool:: er.... excuse me...

Johncroix · 04-17-2004, 08:44 AM

Definately Uma Thurman as Luthien.

You're kidding, right? Luthien is supposed to be hot.

Oh, it's on, now. Let's not confuse "hot" with "exotic", and Uma is totally exotic, as was Luthien. I rest my case.

Hmmm.....I'll believe you (for now). I'll just go re-read the necessarily parts when I get home. I always thought Luthien was the hottest elf-chick on the planet, but hey.

Lizra · 04-18-2004, 10:23 AM

Uma looks a little "machine-ish" to me, beautiful but brain dead?

Picture Bale w/pointy ears. Depp strikes me as too soft for the role.

WOW! I don't know who the guy is, but he sure has what I picture to be Feanaro's look!

Did we ever come up with someone for Thingol the popular?

SGH, any suggestions?

Okay, as per Tolkien, "...the most beautiful of all the Children of Iluvatar". So there we go. Luthien was hot. The hottest chick on the planet. And respectfully, Uma Thurman isn't my idea of the hottest chick on the planet. For instance, her eyes are too big.

Well, we'll let it rest for now. How about Hugh Jackman as Beren?

erm, bump?

this is a really interesting thread!

are you allowed deceased actors?
if so, richard harris (in marcus aurelius mode) would be perfect as thingol

Last Child of Ungoliant · 02-28-2005, 08:28 PM

i know he's not an actor, per se

but Ville Valo could play any elf, fingon, perhaps?

(anyone that doesn't know who ville valo is, avatar<<<)

Last Child of Ungoliant · 05-24-2005, 07:57 PM

jeff goldblum as feanor (anyone who has watched 'The Fly' will know what i mean)

Rosie Gamgee · 05-25-2005, 02:53 PM

Jeff Goldblum!!!! Holy Toledo!

Oh, it's been a while since I read it, but... I'd definitely see Russell Crowe in Beren. I think... who was that lady in Gladiator?... Connie Nelson! would play a good Galadriel. Maybe Claire Danes as Niniel (she was in the silly, right? It's been a while). Summer Glau as Luthien. ?

Here is a thread devoted to Silmarillion Casting ideas.

1. Gerard Butler (Turin Taramber). For anyone who saw him in Timeline he has the look and the acting ability to pull this role off. Turin is always portrayed with really dark hair and with a temper....so what better than an angry Scotsman to play the role.

2. John Noble (Hurin). Well think about it. The guy has the right look...and about ten years from now would be the right age to be Gerard (Turin's) dad.

3. Adrien Brody (either Fingolfin, Finarfin, Fingon). This one could be amazing...he is the most elvish looking actors I've EVER seen, not to mention his is an Oscar Winner and has the talent to play one of the good less tempestuous elves (in my opinion he would not be a good Feanor)

Well these are the choices I have for now....Of course if I were making films of the Sil I would at the very LEAST audition all these people. In my opinion Butler and Brody would have decent shots at actually being cast.

What do you all think? I like to think creative when casting (not just randomly pick the entertainment business most high wattage stars). All these actors are know or up and comming, however I would probably look for a lot of unknowns in theater companies around the world. The reason these three film actors are being considered is their resemblance and acting caliber for the parts.

Okay....enough of my essay.
