I really hope Martin Freeman does take the part as Bilbo. He is adorable as Dr. John Watson in Sherlock (which I also hope we see more of because it's an INCREDIBLE series). And, he actually does look rather Hobbit-like.

He has been cast. Presumably they were able to accommodate his Sherlock commitments. Since there are several parts where Bilbo is separated from the dwarves they can presumably timetable the filming around his availability.

As if Hugo Weaving/Agent Elrond wasn't bad enough???? Personally, I think Keanu Reeves is a little too angsty to play the merry king of the wood.

I love Hugo Weaving and liked himas Elrond. It was the script that was rubbish. Lists do not grow thin.
 Well I suppose you could write them sideways but... Jackson likes to work with the same people it seems so maybe he will use Adrien Brody and continue his pattern of using actors of Hungarian extraction to play Sindarin princes of silvan elves (cf Marton Czokas). Or if we are really unlucky Jack Black.

No I kid, I love Hugo Weaving and he was an amazing Elrond. I just got a little sick of his grumpy old man syndrome after a while. Book-Elrond was far less.......uptight.

 So maybe we just have to be happy it will not end up that bad... heh, and without Brad Pitt as Bard.

Well have they cast Galion and the Gaoler yet?
No I could have done without Elrond as vaguely creepy dad. But Morrrrdorrrrrr jus tabout justified the entrance price on it's own. Do hope he gets to say it again this time.. so what it doesn't occur in the Hobbit ... never stopped PJ before...

Anyone seen this yet?
Apologies if this has appeared in another thread, but it's pretty recent.
"The Hobbit Stars Ready For Action" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-12434929 If this dull American isn't mistaken, Bilbo is being happily played by the charming young porn star from "Love Actually," who did manage to make time despite filming Sherlock. (I can't find the BBC article that mentions David Tennant allegedly playing Thranduil.)
