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.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 both roles, but even PJ wouldn't be that unrealistic.
