Time Warp Castings for LOTR
OK - if you could cast an LOTR movie with actors from any time period, whom would you choose for which roles?
I just thought of this the other day when I saw an actor I would have cast: Aragorn: Gregory Peck

This is a great idea for a thread, Val.
What do you think of Charlton Heston as Gandalf??? Or Jimmy Stewart as Frodo??? (he's kinda tall, though...) Or Orson Welles as Saruman????

Yes...Heston as Gandalf raises his staff at the bridge at Khazad-dum, points it at the Balrog -- and the Balrog splits in two!!!

What do you guys think of these?:
Denethor: Sean Connery Faramir: Gary Cooper Wormtongue: Peter Lorre Arwen: Terri Hatcher (EDIT: or is she too 'bubbly'? Maybe Yvonne DeCarlo?) Eowyn: Bridgette Nielsson I want to use Vincent Price - but I'm unsure whether he should be 'Mouth of Sauron' or have a more prominent role like Saruman (or what do some others think of Orson Welles for Saruman, as BC suggests?). I'm thinking Jimmy Durante, Humphrey Bogart and Sylvester Stallone for some of the more prominent orcs - and maybe Ernest Borgnine for the King of the Easterlings who gets run down by Theoden on the Pelennor Fields (Ooo... or should he be Gimli?). The hobbits are tough. Mickey Rooney as Sam? Or maybe Pippin? Ron Howard as Frodo?

Sorry. Not Charleton Heston. He'd just whip out an Ouzi against the Balrog and put an NRA chapter in Mordor.
 However... W.C. Fields as Barliman Butterbur Cary Grant as Aragorn James Coburn as Elrond Elizabeth Taylor as Arwen (she just has to look hot and mysterious) Jean Simmons as Eowyn Walter Matthau as Gandalf young Michael Caine as Faramir young Sean Connery as Boromir

I think Peter Cushing would be better as Saruman. (I think he would make an excellent Denethor though.) Ingrid Bergman is a good choice for Galadriel. I would like Peter O'Toole as Frodo and Omar Sharif (sp?) as Sam

I thought Ingrid Bergman would make a great Galadriel, too!!
I can't see Omar Sharif as Sam, though. You'd need a really great "second banana" type, so I would suggest Art Carney as Sam.

This is the main reason I chose to pair O'Toole with Sharif, since they worked well together in this film. As an actor for an average Orc: Alex Karras (The guy that played Mongo in Blazzing saddles) [The strong, but not too bright character]

And I could certainly see Ernest Bornine as Gimli. How about Tim Conway and Harvey Korman as Pippin and Merry??? Vincent Price would be a very good Sauruman, too!

Don't know all my vintage hollywood actors that well.I still like Gregory Peck over Cary Grant for Aragorn. Grant may look the part - but I always see him more as a 'straight man' in a comedy... OR, if in a serious movie (North by Northwest) - at least as having lots of funny lines to deliver with a straight face. Aragorn doesn't really have funny lines. And Earniel... check out Gregory Peck in his younger days... that's why I think he'd be good for Aragorn. I think he could pull off both the 'ranger' part and the 'kingly' part.

How about Maureen O'Hara as Eowyn?? That Irish lass could stand up to anyone -- even John Wayne!!!
