News story of the day has to be news.com.au's online gallery outlining with awesome Microsoft Paint-based skill just what some of your favourite movies would have looked like had the actors originally wanted for the various roles actually appeared in the flick. Check it our for yourselves.

We are quite grateful that Matthew Newton never landed the role of Frodo in Lord Of The Rings - as are, no doubt, the ladies of Hobbiton.

Actually, that's not fair. Matthew's got Pia Miranda and John Foreman in his corner! So just you stop sooking, Brooke Satchwell! For fuck's sake!

(Thanks Clem!)
