Lin Manuel Miranda
While I am looking forward to this very much, I am sceptical about the casting of Lin Manuel Miranda as Lee Scoresby. For me, one of the few things the 2007 film nailed was its Scoresby - Sam Elliot, tall, wizened and gravel-voiced, was as close to the Lee of the books as I could imagine. Miranda as Scorseby? Looks like an attempt to widen the international audience/publicity to me... but we shall see.
