Apparantly not a valid source now, and some names on the list are not even being considered.
Good! I mean - Itaril?? Alfrid?? Primula Brandybuck?? Drogo Baggins??

Would like to see Radagast though

This is the only movie that's got me super excited right now. (something to look forward to)

Over on TORN it mentions that Simon Pegg posted that David Tennant will be visiting middle earth. Interesting

Good news as long as he is not Bilbo.

Gotta agree with you Pix, not much of a hobbit looking fellow.

Give me Toby!

Martin Freeman = Bilbo

no contest.

I am leaning more and more towards Michael Sheen as Bilbo.

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread

He's a great actor and certainly hobbitish but Freeman is a dead ringer for young Ian Holm.

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread

Just tried to google for pics of Holm as a 30 something... Can't find one. Care to post the reference pics you are talking about?

Ian Holm - 1965

Thanks for that. Yeah I can totally see how Freeman more closely resembles Holm.

They would have to age Freeman a little bit so that he fits in with the Gandalf line: "...you look like you haven't aged a day..." line.

Seems that Tobey rumor won't die....three more sites are claiming its a done deal.

I saw those, but thankfully Guilermo stated he won't be in the Hobbit so that should shut people up.

NOOOOOO!!!! Why are people still labouring under this dillusion? If people got the part because they LOOKED like a hobbit, i would have been Frodo Baggins! He might look like one, but he doesn't have the acting range. Everything i've seen him in has been the same character. I say get a good actor who could play the part, and after make-up and the wig they'd look like Bilbo in FOTR easily. Especially someone like Sheen......

I am leaning more and more towards Michael Sheen as Bilbo.

Yes!!! That's more like it!!

Sheen looks pretty goo IMO.
