OK, I went to the movie site that Mbo sent me, and yes, they have done a very good job of casting. Let's hope the actual movie lives up to the advance billing. WHY can't they stick to the original story line, though? This drives me NUTSO (not that that is hard to do.......)What is this Arwen gizmo? Don't need it, JRR did not need it,anyway, to write a GREAT book. Movies just have to change something. Does anybody know how long this movie is? The mini series "Shogun" was 12 hrs, and left out a LOT!!
