Apart from Sam Neill, this cast has been known for months… in the case of some actors (Hugo Weaving, Hugh Jackman, Geoffrey Rush) nearly a year. So why all the press excitement now? Several of the actors, including Weaving, Ryan Kwanten and Emilie de Ravin actually discussed their roles in interviews throughout the summer. All of those articles were much more interesting than this bland Reuters note, but received less attention… but I guess some film blogs only follow the 400lb gorillas of the industry. Even if they're implying hot of the press casting news when, in fact, the voices were recorded about a year ago. ;) Also, the article implies that Neill, Weaving, Wenham and Rush are lead actors in the film… they aren't. They have supporting roles. Jim Sturgess and Ryan Kwanten play the rival leads. Most of the big names have less prominent character roles. It is an impressive cast by any measure, but some of the early hype has been misleading.

I like the sound of this. Could be a modern day Watership Down.
