Martin, you mad muggle ;) I was just thinking about Viggo Mortenson 
myself yesterday. I haven't seen him on film since Fellowship of the 
Rings last year, but glimpses of him in the TTT trailers on TV made 
me think HE might be a good Lupin too, for all the reasons you 
listed. Actually LOTR wrapped up well over a year ago, didn't it? 
IIRC Peter Jackson shot all 3 movies simultaneously over the course 
of 18 months.

Yes, I think Viggo Mortensen might do nicely as Lupin...if Ralph 
Fiennes isn't available ;-)
