LOTR Casting Rumors

The rumors have been flying for what seems forever that Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman have signed on to Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings project, but New Line is staying mum on the subject. Now, the United Kingdom’s Guardian newspaper’s FilmUnlimited website is reporting that the signing is a done deal. The site says that the two actors will be introduced at the end of the first film.

FilmUnlimited is also reporting that Terrance Stamp (Star Wars: Episode One -- The Phantom Menace) may be joining the trilogy’s cast, though no specific role is given.
