Just because he made a bunch of friends and he had the role first...that is his reasoning? Man, some of these actors don't know how lucky they are! (In my opinion)!

Well he nearly didn't take it the first time did he? And it isn't going to be offering much new is it? Frankly I am suprised you are suprised. The Hobbit film is being made to a formula - seen LOTR? Know the plot of the Hobbit? What is there to get excited about? - you know what is going to happen, how it is going to look etc .. you don't really need to see the film! So I am not suprised that meeting up with old friends is going to be the draw .... It is like going on holiday to the same place every year. It may be pleasant but it isn't going to be exiting like discovering a place you have never been to previously.

I am sure that I would be more excited by the prospect of the film if there were going to be a new approach.
