Gimli Silm casting

Sean Connery as Ulmo is perfect, as for Feanor? with some thought, Jonny Depp works well. And Nicolas Cage as Sauron works for me too. Liam Neeson as Fingolfin I like, and Ian McCellan as Finwe, or an older Hugo Weaving

Beren: Ewan McGregor
Luthien: Diane Kruger
Morwen: Jodie Foster
Feanor: Johnny Depp
Turin: Colin Ferral
Hurin: Liam Neeson
Thingol: Jeremy Irons
Gwindor: David Thewlis
Nienor: Scarlet Johansson


just some ideas, of course though it should be mostly lesser known actors that should be used, but as they are lesser known, i dont know them. also i dont think anyone from the lotr movies should be used except for people like galadriel who could be played by the same actors

Yay for Depp as Fëanor!

As for Jeremy Irons, I'm a huge fan of him. But somehow I can't imagine him as Thingol.

Gollum

Feanor's my fantasy Elf, so I feel personally obligated to interject my own ideas re: casting his role - I HATE Clive Owen, Christian Bale doesn't have the feeling of true artistic depth for me nor does he come across as very emotionally interesting; Jeff Goldblum - - ARE YOU KIDDING??!?!
Absolutely, absolutely Johnny Depp. His range is astounding, he's one of the few dramatic artists out there nowadays who naturally possesses true depth and variance, who is endlessly interesting and unpredictable, who is endowed with the right look in every way, etcetera ad nauseum.

Feanor MUST be given to Johnny Depp.

and, Nurvingiel - I agree - Cary Elwes is a good idea to play Fingon.

Mja, Lotesse, I wholeheartedly agree with you, Johnny Depp would make an ogle-worthy *cough cough* I mean outstanding Fëanor.

I was thinking Joaquin Pheonix would make a good Turin

Not sure if it's been mentioned but I think Russell Crowe would make quite a good Turin.

Do you have to read LOTR Trilogy to read the Silmarilion?

Gollum

Answer to above enormous question: No.
In fact, theoretically no one "has" to do anything that they don't want to do. One's experience of the whole middle-earth scenario might be nicely enhanced, though, by reading the Sil first, then proceeding to Lord of the Rings, just because of the historically chronological aspect of it. But do whatever floats your boat.

This is Final Cast List, so...

for Nienna, I'd cast Isabelle Adjani.

for Melian, Diane Lane.

I reckon Bale would be ideal. Not taking anything away from Depp, but there's something about Bale that suggests to me that he'd totally pwn Feanor's stubbornness. And any fight scene.

And:

Would you really want to blame every little thing on Johnny Depp? Shame on you.

There are those who don't blame every little, or big, thing on Fëanor, you know.

If Bale were to do Fëanor I would only see Patrick Bateman.

How about Brian Cox or Brendan Gleeson as Tulkas???

P.S Thanks for the opinion! I'm reading it right now!

Ok...not the best ever...but I laughed out loud that randomness and blatant out of context-ness...I'm still laughing.

You can't say it didn't make you laugh. Just blaring there in huge letters!
