Casting for the next two films?

I was curious as to whether any of the casting for the next two films has been announced?

If I had my "druthers", I'd cast Woody Allen as Grima Wormtongue. Slimy little cretin would be perfect! Or even Rowan Atkinson would do well, Grima Wormtongue Blackadder!

Lemme see...for Theoden, I'd cast George C. Scott, if he were still with us. For Eowyn, Lucy Lawless in a blonde wig [not a Xena fan but she'd be good], however, the lady who is pictured on the back of the "quality paperback" of The Two Towers looks tremendous for hte role, as does the fellow whom I take to be Theoden.

As for Faramir, hmmmmm, let's see now. Russel Crowe? Maybe Sean Bean again in makeup to make him look a little different? And Denethor? My choice would be Peter Cushing [is he still alive?].

Who would you folks cast as Grima Wormtongue, Theoden, Eowyn and Denethor?

A moral of the whole (after the primary symbolism of the Ring, as the will to mere power, seeking to make itself objective by physical force and mechanism, and so also inevitably by lies) is the obvious one that without the high and noble the simple and vulgar is utterly mean; and without the simple and ordinary the noble and heroic is meaningless." Letters of JRR Tolkien, page 160.
