Thingol - Robert De Niro (Like in stardust he would be totaly misplaced, without it being his own fault. The acting would probably be good, but somehow unintentionally funny)
Gothmog - Sean Connery (Imagine Sean Connery cloacked in smoke and fire, wielding a whip. . . .simply too Indiana Jonesish)

I think I've answered my own question.
Beren: Keanu Reeves. Sample dialogue: Keanu Reeves (typical wooden delivery): Here is a fire that shall consume you, and all evil things. CGI Carcharoth: Chomp. Keanu (gazing at stump of right hand): Whoa. Not to mention the depth of feeling he'd bring to the scenes with Lúthien...

Only problem is that I hate Beren and Luthien so much that I really think Keanu would be perfect .... with some irritating and stupid brunette as the canary....

Maybe Keanu should play Maedhros instead?

How about an all-Italian dwarvish contingent: Al Pacino, Joe Pesci and Danny Devito? The Brooklyn accents would heighten the drama.

Besides, while unlike Mith I like Beren and Lúthien, I do think Keanu is right for the part in some kind of terribly wrong way, if you see what I mean... (Okay, you probably don't.) Quote:
WANTED: Irritating and stupid brunette actress to play Lúthien. Singing talent optional. Suggestions?

And another overrated actress, Kate Witless as Finduilas because little would give me more pleasure than to see her skewered to a tree. There is a reason why the best parts for English women tend to go to Blanchett, Paltrow or Zellweger

Two people I've always felt fall squarely in the "wooden acting" category are Uma Thurman and Nicholas Cage. I'd be hard pressed to find a sufficiently wooden role for either of them, though (particularly given that Cage's face always makes me think of a sad beagle...)
