ROTK is going to be the best birthday present ever for me. I was reading this magazine I got (PREMIERE: LORT special) and it said that the people who cast actors for the movie originally chose Micheal J. Fox to play Frodo, before Peter Jackson called for Elijah Wood. I can't imagine him as Frodo, esp. after seeing Lij do the part.
I couldn't imagine it. And, if he was made Frodo, I don't think it would have sold the movie that much. I mean yeah, readers want to go see a movie if such a widley known book is made in a movie. But the actors in it are the main influence for the crowd. If that other guy was cast as Aragorn, and not Viggo, I don't think I would have such and interest in the movie, much less if Orlando and Elijah weren't cast
