LORD OF THE RINGS casting: Regarding Eowyn, Galadriel and others...

Alright, I've been hearing from everyone from the original author of the letter to Deluca on over to RingBearer.Org to TheOneRing.Net to TheOneRing.Com about Uma Thurman is being considered for Eowyn and that Cate Blanchett is up for Galadriel... and in addition some stuff about Terrence Stamp being up for Grima Wormtongue.
So as usual, I put the question through my usual bullshit detector within the production of LORD OF THE RINGS, and found out the following. While the production would LOVE to have Uma as Eowyn and Cate as Galadriel... that has not yet come to pass. They are being talked to. They are not yet signed. As for the rumor of Terrence Stamp... it is false, and I have yet to have any confirmation on any actor in that role. So... we'll have to wait and see what happens later on. So... Basically you can consider that Cate and Uma are in discussions... and you can either hope that they WILL get the part or hope that they WON'T get the part depending on your disposition. As for me? Personally I love the possible casting of Cate Blanchett dearly and think that it is dead on perfect. As for Uma as Eowyn, I think that is a definite improvement upon her casting as opposed to the previous rumor of her playing Galadriel. But I'm sure all of you have definite opinions one way or the other.... And I'm sure we'll see quite a bit of division down below in Talk Back...
