Nicole Kidman and Hayden Panettiere are strong actors, but I'm so glad they pulled out and that Jodie and Kristen were cast instead. I think they were perfect for this film!
I saw a huge behind the scenes look at how one of the Lord of the rings films was made. It was far over an hour! I was blown away by how Peter Jackson could weave such a massive story into a short amount of time on screen. When I went to see it, I was full of "There is no way he can cram this into 3-4 movies! I bet this first one is going to suck. " I was elated beyond words to be proven dead wrong. I saw all of the movies and they deserve to be considered among the greatest movie series of all time, right next to the Star Wars and Harry Potter films.
