I can't see Natalie Portman as an Elf at all, let alone Luthien. That said...hm. I don't know who I'd cast as Luthien; that's a tough call. I'll have to give it some thought for the myriad of others.As for making any actual movie or something of it, I don't know how it would work. However, because of its episodic nature, it would be almost ideal for a miniseries if you got the right screenwriters.Ooh, I had a thought: Jaye Davidson as Melkor He looked absolutely satanic in Stargate, but he could probably pull off the beautiful form, too, if he concentrates on looking like a good guy.
