Sage Hobbit movie advice for PJ?

[Encaitare]

I think that Alan Rickman would be a good choice to play Thranduil, as a lot of his lines in the book would sound great coming from him. Ok, they'd have to give him blond hair, but that's probably the only change necessary.

Ooh, Alan Rickman? Putting him in there would be awesome, although I have a difficult time seeing him as a blond. And he is rather beginning to show some signs of aging, so I don't know how well that would work for an Elf. I do like the idea of putting a young Aragorn in there, and dropping the names Gilraen and Estel just to see who catches it. That would be very spiffy.

Hugo Weaving must return as Elrond (hey, maybe PJ can work the script so he says "DOOOOOOM!" a couple of times ), and Ian McKellen and Christopher Lee are a must, too. I'm sad to hear that Ian Holm won't be returning.. he was such a great Bilbo.
