Just stop and think about that for a second. It's f'in incredible.

Never mind whether or not this has any historical accuracy, if you'd said 5 years ago that Viggo Mortensen and Colin Farrell were going to be playing John and Rick in a film people would have thought you were completely off your rocker!

Apparently not, preview copies of unfinished film have been seen by cavers

(Just strange having them play people you know)

So - Rick Stanton is really Aragorn, eh?

I hope Paul Gleeson has learned to speak proper Hudddersfield . . . .

Surely, 'Uddersfield !
Fair comment Mike.

Here's a tale about "Uddersfield folk. A while ago I took a school group doing geography field work from this fine 'Pennine town around a certain show cave. Somehow I just couldn't get them to engage; none of them seemed interested in answering questions and several of them were just glued to their mobiles. We finally got back to the entrance chamber where I stopped and asked if there were any questions. There was a long pregnant silence and then one of the lads at the back put his hand up.

Somewhat relieved I invited him to ask his question. The response was: "When do we 'ave us dinner?!"

Unsurprisingly enough I've heard of all of the cavers/divers but on the other hand the only actor whose name I recognise is Colin Farrell (Bruges is a shithole). So much for fame, eh! It's probably because I have no TV so am out of the loop. If I do accidentally see the film I'll at least recognise JV in it. Yay.

Well, that website didn't even mention that Kevin Spink will be Josh Bratchley (no, never heard of the former either, but his main claim to fame is this film...)

I'm 100% with you there Chris; no TV, from choice - and the only actor's name I'm familiar with is Mortenson's, as I was persuaded it was worth watching LoTR, which I very much enjoyed. I generally prefer books to films; Aragorn's "Aquanaut" is excellent. (I seem to be getting really confused with names already!)

Joel Egerton is a big name, an Australian playing the Australian doc Richard Harris.
Joel was in Warrior with Tom Hardy, The Green Knight with Dev Patel, Star Wars Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith and the new Obi Wan series, though the highlight of his career is Kinky Boots from the mid 00 I'm sure.
