Actually I could be wrong but I think Elijah Wood will make a great Frodo. I have seen him in small roles and he seems to be a very good young actor. I think its better that the actors are a little obscure - that way when you see Aragorn he's Aragorn and you don't end up with that "Tom Cruise IS Aragorn" or "Sean Connery IS Gandalf" promo junk. People will see the character for who the character is - not the actor who plays him (or her). Having said that I must also say that Cate Blanchet was wonderful in Elizabeth. I am REALLY worried about Liv Tyler as Arwen. Expanded role aside she seems to play every character the exact same way. It can be quite annoying!
