For Luthien, Liv Tyler; if not her, Catherine Zeta-Jones. For Beren, Mel Gibson.

Discussion will be in the other thread, this is for the list, or feedback on my choices so far,
I think Catherine Zeta Jones is hot, but too old for Luthien.

for Feanaro, I would pick Joaquin Phoenix
and I think that Angelina Jolie would be a good NErdanel although she's not on the list..at the very least she would make a good Noldor elf |

How 'bout Arnold as Hurin?
Nicholas Cage for Caranthir? Sheesh - what a long list though! Shows again how difficult it would be to make this into a movie. You just KNOW the Hollywood folks would insist on combining characters, etc - so a movie audience could follow along. |

And I don't see Finduilas - maybe Heather Graham? Gwyneth Paltrow?
And should First Age Galadriel be someone a bit more... Amazonian? (EDIT: and then could Cate Blanchett be acceptable as a First Age Melian - having played Third Age Galadriel?) Last edited by Valandil : 11-05-2003 at 11:06 AM. |

I propose to make it a minseries, with narration on the sketchy bits.
i agree, Feanor has to be extremely handsome, yet both fiery and dark and brooding and noble. Damn hard to cast!

I dont know if anyone finds him handsome, but the dude from Dark City, uh...I dont remember his name, but he was also in that Jousting movie with Heath Ledger. He seems to have the right build, not too big, but not small, and he is very dark and brooding. I just dont know about beautiful...

I can imagine Johnny Depp as Fëanor, and then I'd cast myself as Nerdanel.

Got Johnny Depp, Joaquin Pheonix just isn't handsome enough.
Changed Galadriel to Kim Basinger and Melian to Michelle Pfeiffer. Miranda Otto I think ius the obvious Nienor. Turin and Thingol= really hard to cast. Oh yeah, Sean Connery as Ulmo! How did we not think of that?!? My dad helped me come up with some of my ideas.

I think Joaquin would make a great Maedhros. Miranda Otto would work well for Nienor, too. Danny DeVito as Mim... that cracks me up. Not sure about Johnny Depp as Feanor. He's one of my favorite actors, but I'm not sure he has the right... erm... presence for the part. He generally plays the likeable-though-ill-adjusted good guy. Not the alluring maniac.

Jonny Dep would make a good Tuor, just because he could play the crazy situations he gets into well.
