Working Title: Númenor: Downfall
Director: Peter Jackson (who else?)
Cast (so far):
| Sauron | Hrithik Roshan |
| Elros | Eric Etabari |
| Amandil | Clive Owen |
| Elendil The Tall | Gerard Butler |
| Isildur | Eric Bana |
| Anarion | Christian Bale |
| Tar-Palantir | Thomas Jane |
| Ar-Pharazon | Daniel Craig |
| Miriel | Lena Headey |
| Gil-Galad | Alec Newman/ Dougray Scott |
I wasn't 100% certain about Alec Newman as Gil-Galad, since he might be considered too rough-looking, (or too short - at 5'9") given the fact that he's supposed to be a Noldorin elf. A good friend suggested Dougray Scott, which after taking a good, hard look - I agreed wholeheartedly. If you take a look at him in Ever After, he does possess a bit of an ethereal quality to his features.
Ralph Fiennes has also been suggested for Sauron and Hermione Norris for Miriel opposite Daniel Craig.

I was interested in your "fantasy cast". Very detailed! We have created a website just for fiction readers who want to perform a fantasy cast. It's called Storycasting.com, and it's "for the movie in your mind". We let our members (it's free) select works they have read, choose favorite characters, and then plug current actors into the roles. All castings post on a common page for that book, and the consensus gradually bubbles to the top. Plus, there'll be lots of comments and opinions, and eventually a "friends" function. We hope to begin adding screenplays and Fan Fiction titles as well.
We're still in Beta (although you can get a sneak peek by signing up to test), and we'll be going live around April. Until then, be thinking about the books you'd like to cast. You'll be able to see who other people picked... but who will YOU cast?
