>snip<I think we have a winner! Max Von Sydow! Of course! I think Connery would make an excellent Theoden- you can see him as having been a strong king who has aged. Kenneth Branaugh...how about Grimma Wormtongue...? I suppose he's not spare enough, though.....Gollum......David Bowie, perhaps? His looks are certainly unusual enough for starters.....I can see him starting out just fine and becoming the corrupt Gollum.Do you mean that it's actually going to be live-action and not animated???!!!
There is a God!
How about Patrick Stewart for Gandalf. He is a member of the Royal
Shakespearean
Society, and pretty versatile. Or maybe Max Von Sydow? Or Alec Guinness?
James Earl Jones (what a voice!!) Kenneth Branaugh?
There are a lot of good ones out there.
Now, who'll play Gollum??
Hopefully, whatever they do, it will be with a strong medieval flare and
not heavy on the fantasy element.
I believe that the Professor would have preferred it that way. He was
trying to recreate the medieval
romance anyway, wasn't he??Happily,
