This is a theoretical of course... If the movie was never made back then but was being made today, who would you cast for the roles?
Here are the ladies I'd choose:
Arwen - Biatriz (Bia) Arantes
Galadriel - Amber Heard
Éowyn - Rachael Taylor
Now for the guys:
Saruman - Sam Elliot
Faramir - Jordan Patrick Smith
Théoden - Linus Roache
Denethor - Lothaire Bluteau
Frodo - David Lindström
I'll add more of my choices in a later edit of this post.

One thing is for sure... judging by the IMDB fecebook post for the Rings of Power trailer, it would be savaged way more than it was twenty years ago.

Was that a typo or a clever and deliberate play on words?
Either way, it aptly describes my feelings for facebook

Some are just comparing it unfavorably to the trilogy. Not that I like the trilogy.

Quite deliberate. It's my common reference name for that social media outhouse.
Yes, a good many Peter Jackson worshippers like to say that he 'stayed true to the source material' in their arguments. I laugh, being he had a whole complete story to use and he chose to gut the core of it out and make stuff up.

I had to look up all of those actors. Not having seen any of their work, I can't judge your choices beyond their physical characteristics.
