Boots *Possible Spoilers* - Return of the King Cast List

There is a link at <A HREF="http://www.theonering.net/index.shtml" TARGET=_blank>ToRN</A> to the section on Return of the King at a film website called <A HREF="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0167260/fullcredits" TARGET=_blank>IMDb</A>.<P>What I found interesting was the cast list, which is presumably that supplied by New Line. There are a few surprising inclusions, and a few possible disappointments.<P>As expected, Eleanor Gamgee makes the list, but there is also a "Baby Gamgee" listed. There is also a character called "Eldarion", so it looks that they may have some sequence showing Aragorn and Arwen's subsequent life (unless this is simply the name given to a Gondorian soldier).<P>I am glad to see Grimbold there, and there are two characters who I don't recognise from the book - Madril and Irolas. Presumably they are Men of Gondor.<P>I was interested to see that Lawrence Makaoare is down to play both the Witch-King and Gothmog. I presume that they will have Gothmog as the second-in-command of the Nazgul. There is also a listing for the King of the Dead, who will presumably be more of a defined "character" unlike in the book.<P>Deagol is there, of course, and I saw somewhere that the scene with him and Smeagol, and Smeagol's subsequent transformation into Gollum, will open the film.<P>Unfortunately, there is no mention of Imrahil, Beregond, Bergil or Ghan-Buri-Ghan. Or Forlong the Fat. I suppose it is not conclusive, but it seems unlikely that these characters will be in it. Surprisingly, however, the Mouth of Sauron also does not feature on the list. I do hope this isn't another example of Jackson changing his mind and cutting filmed sequences (neither Saruman nor Wormtingue are on the list, of course). <P>Oh, and isn't the guy listed as being an Elven Escort Figwit? <P>Anyone have any further thoughts on the cast, or seen anything different elsewhere?
