busy91 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 OK, so this means I must read this before next year or so. It's collecting dust on my shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 You've got a couple of years, I don't think this is due until Christmas 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissWhitlock Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I cannot wait. I really DO hope that they get it right. I'm enraged, however that PJ isn't directing it. Enraged. Why can't he just bloody make time for it? It's The Hobbit! But that aside, I was hoping that the same actors would do the same roles, Ian Holm=Bilbo, Ian McKellen=Gandalf, and blahbluhblah, but apparently not. Ian Holm is apparently too old, and so is Christopher Lee, so they're casting a new Bilbo and Saruman. Hopefully they're good enough. *fingers crossed* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Holm is apparently too old, and so is Christopher Lee, so they're casting a new Bilbo and Saruman. Peter Jackson is still producing, and I wouldn't say Del Toro is inexperienced. I don't think you will notice a drop in quaility from the Lord of the Rings films. I would have liked Holm to play Bilbo as well though, as I've always pictured him as an older man anyway, but you can't have everything!

Tikkititi Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 David Tennant denies being cast as Bilbo (he officially denied it at Comic Con) Oh, that's a shame. He'd have made a great Bilbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Too tall, he's completely the wrong build for a Hobbit. There are plenty of other roles he could play though . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 Hobbit delayed until 2012. Not entirely surprising, given that they haven't started filming yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwish Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I hope that it really is worth the wait . But then again... http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/news/a199017/ronan-keating-auditions-for-hobbit-role.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Univerze Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Me too.. and they're starting filming this summer right? Though please, no Ronan Keating.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Me too.. and they're starting filming this summer right? I think they are due to start in April. Not sure if that has been pushed back or not as there was some problems with the film rights, I believe. Though please, no Ronan Keating.. Seconded!
