Did you take a look at the drawing? I was wondering about Thranduil for a long time until I discovered that many features of their faces are very similar and could make them look like family. Sure - as humans they don´t differ enough to be father and son, but we are talking elf here?

Other new cast:
Feanor - Robbie Coltrane would be brilliant as Beorn, but as he already plays major part in Harry Potter we can consider him "burnt", I suppose. I would not have liked Ian to replace late Richard Harris either.
Only considering the faces I would like to push Stephen Fry foreward (he has done the HP audiobooks ....) : Looking at his face I see some bear features somehow. He also is quite tall I suppose.

Boromir - Alan Rickman would be one of the possible casts for the Master of Laketown, along with Tim Curry and a few of our other favourite film villains. He has the sneaky look of a corrupt merchant.

If we are brainstorming about the "Hobbit" here we are still left with 1 big problem: I doubt that Ian Holm will be suitable to play Bilbo again: So who might replace him? Any guesses?

I am working on a few renders of actors into Hobbit characters atm. Keep checking if you like: www.henj.nl
