I don't think it would be too far out of line to suggest John Rhys-Davies as Gimli's dad Gloin, eh? On a slightly creepier note, what if they used Orlando Bloom as Legolas' dad Thranduil, too?

Hey, I'm not unopposed to Willis.
How about this cast, then? Bruce Willis Sam Jackson John Travolta Ving Rhames Uma Thurman Amanda Plummer Tim Roth Harvey Keitel Working title: Kill Bilbo, Vols. I & II.

Uma Thurman is one one actor who would force me NOT to see a Middle-earth film.

Yes --- but when an actor would be asked to play someone three decades younger - and that is in human terms - and do a physically strenuous role like Bilbo walking all across the wilds and mountains - then that rules Mr. Holm out.
Lee would be fine- much more than fine actually, and God willing he can be with us to do it again with the White Council scenes that have been rumored. |

I have given a lot of thought to this ever since I saw the Lord of the Rings Films, having recently read The Hobbit... My first thought was of the Dwarves. A few of them were amusing and a few of them were serous considerations of who could play the rolls...
Thorin: Brian Blessed (Come on! You know he'd be perfect!) Some other dwarves could be played by... Dwalin: Tony Robinson (Played like Baldric from Blackadder, obviously) Balin: Bill Baily (The musical scenes would be so much funnier) Bombur: Collin Baker (Because he's FAT) Bifur: Tom Baker (Because he is ACE) Dori: David Mitchell (Why not?) Kili: Julian Barrat (One part of the double act) Fili: Noel Fielding (the other part of the double act from The Mighty Boosh) Dáin Ironfoot: Billy Connolly (with a banjo) Beorn: Oliver Reed (after seeing him in Baron Munchausen, I thought he'd be good for the roll) Bard the Bowman: Christopher Eccleston (Because he SHOULD be northern) Smaug: Vic Reeves (Of course) Thranduil: Rowan Atkinson (No idea why, the concept just amuses me) Drunken Elf: Dylan Moran (Obvious, really) Not entirely plausible. But it would be a darn fine film!

This is one of the funniest things I have read in a long time. My vote for Thranduil would be Daniel Day-Lewis.
