I think the major problem with only showing Túrin's story, is that the background would be so confusing to someone who hasn't read The Silmarillion. There would be too many cases of people wondering, "Who's that guy?" or "What do you mean someone owns the dragon? Where's he?" and eventually even "Where is this place, again?" It's possible that you could solve some of these in a short narrative at the start, as in FOTR.Here's my cast list so far (unfortunately they're all pretty big stars, such is the limit of my knowledge).Fëanor - Gabriel Byrne Fingolfin - Eric Stoltz Galadriel - Cate Blanchett Lúthien - Jennifer Connelly Beren - Hugh Jackman Thingol - Jason Isaac Húrin - Heath Ledger Tuor - Liam Neeson Manwë - Harrison Ford
