Shield

We haven't seen Denethor yet, but I think Liam Neeson would do a great job of his character. He could like tall and kingly. Aragorn is more of his usual role type though, the hero. Isn't it funny how a lot of great actors get kind of typecast? Look at Sean Bean, given his acting history he was really the only choice for Boromir.<P>I've made up my mind, and I think I'd rather have Cate Blanchett as Éowyn. Miranda Otto just seems a bit too down to earth, while bookÉowyn is supposed to be aloof and a real ice maiden. I'd then put either Gwyneth Paltrow, or maybe Kim Basinger (maybe too cheesy) as Galadriel. I'd really like to see Cate Blanchett in <B>both</B> roles, but even PJ wouldn't be <I>that</I> unrealistic.
