Stu's LOTR cast:

Sam - Sean Astin
Aragorn - Viggo Mortensen
Saruman - Christopher Lee
Gandalf - Ian McKellen

Legolas - Christian Bale.
Gimli - Jon Voight. Don't ask
Elrond - Patrick Stewart
Merry - Edward Norton
Pippin - Edward Norton. What?
Eowyn - Peta Wilson. Damn, I love that actress

Post by: Stunaep on December 02, 2003, 12:16:00 pm: Ashrak, I'm not sick, I've just been browsing a bit too much Rotten Tomatoes forums.

Not that there is really anyone I don't like in the movie. They are all perfect for their roles (although, I sure would have wanted to see Andreas Katsulas playing Gollum.) It's just if all of the original cast, except five were suddenly buried under a landslide for five years, these are who I'd choose.

It's like you're reading my thoughts. This is bizarre.

Ever seen Payback? He kicks a whole lot of ass in that.
