Alan Rickman would make a believable Thranduil with some make-up (forget the HP films and just look at the man himself). Sadly Clint Eastwood is a bit too old now. Ten years ago he would have been one to consider!

Robbie Coltrane could be a bit too baby-faced & nice to be a fit Beorn but he might make one of the dwarwes... not Thorin or Dwalin perhaps but one of the others Jackson & team will bring forwards from the rest.

Daniel Craig could make a good Bard the Bowman - just imagine him a full beard with your mind's eye and you get it...

I do agree with Hookbill: Brian Blessed would be perfect as Thorin! Or you could possibly make him Beorn as well...

Kenneth Branagh as Bilbo? Mature enough but not too old...
