We’re back with a different article of a dissimilar fantasy film. Some faces you will recognize, others you may not. So, for comprehension purposes, please watch each video for as long as you'd like, to have a consideration for each poignant choice.

Robert Wisdom-Elendil James Pickens Jr-Gil Galad Harry J Lennix-Elrond Clarke Peters-Gandalf bigshow2312: This was my second choice, right behind Morgan Freeman… but I felt Clarke could play more a somber yet witty Gandalf, as opposed to Morgan, whom lately ((even though I love his work but these past few years... he’s gotten lazy!)), plays just any typical Morgan Freeman role.
Sherman Hemsley-Bilbo Mos Def-Frodo bigshow2312: Actually Marlon Wayans was the initial choice but after watching ‘Be Kind Rewind’ & ‘The Italian Job’ a million times, we ((dmb1511, especially)) felt that Mos Def had a naive essence to see on screen, which matched what we saw of Elijah Wood.
Kenan Thompson-Sam bigshow2312: Really difficult choice to make, but as you can see, Kenan is no stranger to impersonations ((Saturday Night Live))… I mean, that’s what acting is basically… plus he’s comical, which would add a relief from a dramatic film.
Jennifer Hudson-Rosie Cotton bigshow2312: A minor character: yes. But Jennifer Hudson is an extrovert ((like Rosie: dancing around with others)) that we couldn’t leave her out of the article.
Alphonso McAuley-Merry bigshow2312: He came into the game after watching ‘The Pride’, where he played the buffoon of the group… Actually, he’s like Kenan, he does impersonations and such but his jolly attitude towards life compelled me to cast him as Merry.
Marlon Wayans-Pippin bigshow2312: I first thought that he shouldn’t be in the cast at all ((since he wasn’t going to be Frodo)), but it came to the scene where the Fellowship were in some sort of a murky Dwarf area ((last half of the movie))… There’s an unscathed corpse sitting on a well, and then we see Pippin, by mistake, knocking the corpse down the well… which alarmed the Orcs of the group. Anyway, I couldn’t help but imagine that character being played by Marlon Wayans, whom is well known for playing dim-like characters in movies... Plus, he’s no stranger to the use of camera tricks; made him look like a small person: ‘Little Man’.
Frankie Faison-Gimli Shemar Moore-Aragorn Gabrielle Union-Arwen Corbin Bleu-Legolas bigshow2312: We needed an actor who was a pretty boy and looked like he could be a warrior in cloak. Corbin Bleu has come a long way since High School.
Chiwetel Ejiofor-Boromir bigshow2312: Chiwetel is one of the misused black actors in Fan Fic… yes, he’s a great actor but he cant play every single black character ((alongside Idris Elba)) in this comic tier. From watching him in ‘Four Brothers’ & ‘Serenity’, we’ve envisioned him as the easily enticed spirit yet a character dealing with other multiple internal battles.
Viola Davis-Galadriel bigshow2312: A very brawn actress, that blew me away in her films ‘The Help’ and ‘Its Kind of a Funny Story’… I would consider her one the very few chameleon actresses in Hollywood. She has a voice that commands you to listen, parallel to the Galadriel character.
Hill Harper-Celeborn Wesley Jonathan-Haldir Samuel L Jackson-Saruman bigshow2312: The Saruman we’ve envisioned would be the ‘Lakeview Terrace’ & ‘The Jumper’ antagonist combined. Giving his opponents no mercy.
