Apparently she auditioned for the role. It's always interesting to hear who was considered for a particular role. Anybody know who else was under consideration for Legolas? I know Orlando B. originally auditioned for Faramir, which really doesn't seem like a good match.

| I haven't heard anything about other actors who were potentially up for the role of Legolas. My guess is that PJ was looking for an unknown beautiful boy to play the role, because he figured that it was a small part with minimal dialogue. However as we all know, OB stepped into the role and totally made it his own. Which is why he got even more screen time in TT and hopefully still even more in ROTK. |

Thank god Miranda Otto got that role or else I would have been forced to commit suicide with Anduril. Still haven't recovered from the debacle that was Batman and Robin..... |

Whoa, I had forgotten about Uma being in Batman & Robin. That was most definitely not one of her finer works. However I did think she was good in Gattaca.
I do think Miranda Otto was a good pick for Eowyn b/c she portrayed the character as someone youthful, yet bearing weighty responsibilities due to her uncle's illness.

I definately think she has the right look, more Norse than UT could have managed with her wondefully exotic looks. My only criticism was that she wore her heart on her sleeve, which I don't think Eowyn did. But then, it's been discussed before how the Professor was a little shallow on emotional content. |

Actually, I thought Book Eowyn was pretty transparent herself. The first time I read the book I read the scene with her first appearance and thought, whoa, this chick has it for Strider.

I would have to agree with you. As soon as Book Eowyn met the tall, dark, and handsome Strider, she fell on that poor boy like a Girl Scout cookie.  Not that I can blame her.
