I like how tall Sutherland is, Anfinwen, and that's a good point about her eyes, Glim. While resemblance to Tilda Swinton isn't a dealbreaker (all I care about is that the LotGK is not Swinton, or meant to be Swinton ), I do think that her features might be a little too fierce for the character. She looks awfully warrior princess-y to me, although I do like that ageless quality you mention.
Another possibility I ran across the other day is British actress Rebecca Hall. Looking at her IMDb page, she has plenty of film experience, but she is also a stage actress: her father was the founder of the Royal Shakespeare Company and one of her early roles was Rosalind in As You Like It. With dark hair and eyes, though, she doesn't quite jive with Pauline Baynes' illustrations... but on the bright side, she doesn't look much like Tilda Swinton.
