A wacky theory about Trelawny's part

Okay, I have been combing through websites upon websites, and I still
haven't seen any evidence who will be playing Professor Trelawney, or
that we will even HAVE a Trelawney. Considering how important her
role is in books 3-5, I refuse to believe that Cuaron would have cut
her out completely.
Which leads me to this unlikely and farfetched theory:
On Mugglenet.com, I noticed that in the cast list for the third
movie, an actress named Sally Mortemore seems to be billed as playing
Madam Pince (the librarian). This struck me as noticeably odd,
because I have read PoA twice, and I don't remember any instances
where Madam Pince did or said anything even remotely important or
memorable enough to make it into a movie. The actress has appeared in
the previous HP movies, as a nameless background ornament (you might
see her at the teacher's table during the grand hall scenes). So why
would they give her any billing at all, placing her up with the ranks
of Lupin, Snape, and the rest of the teachers?
My wacky theory is this: Perhaps Cuaron has re-written the script
because he likes Ms. Mortemore and wanted to give her a bigger part;
therefore he transferred Trelawney part to Pince, so the creepy
predictions and airy-fairy demeanor will still exist, but they will
be played be a different teacher (it's kind of like when Hermione
asked McGonagall to describe the Chamber of Secrets, when in the book
it was actually Professor Binns who had this honor).
What do you think?
