Thanks for that link, Dűrbelethwen.

Estelyn, oh Mighty Mod of Movies, I wonder if you could merge this thread with the one in the Novices and Necomers thread?

For those of you wanting information about the cast--something like 52 of the 55 announced roles went to thespians of the Great White North, so you might never have heard of most of them--here are some links. The roles of Galadriel, Gimli and Bilbo have not yet been filled.

Brent Carver--Gandalf

Michael Therriault--Gollem

TorStar article

Globe

Sadly, that Globe link does not include a photo of the seven top leads, but it does have a quote comparing Tolkien and Shakespeare!

As preposterous as this idea sounds, I have to say that casting Carver as Gandalf is a shrewd move to demonstrate integrity. He comes with as credible a history of achievements as Ian McClellan. And after all, the Royal Shakespeare company did carry off Nicholas Nickleby with amazing success.
