TheSpoof.Com has come up with its cast list for the Hobbit movies including the suggestion that Adam Sandler (shown right) gets the part of Gollum because the jewishness he brings will allow the audience to feel the tension.
The site which allows anyone to post their spoof news stories also puts forward Donny Osmond for the lead part of Bilbo Baggins because of his big feet.
While it had me laughing, it also got me thinking about the Bilbo part. Ian Holm is going to be near 80 years old by the time shooting finishes so I can’t see him getting the part although with todays technology, nothing is impossible. They could certainly make him look younger but my concern would be whether he will be up for such a hard schedule of shooting 2 movies at once.
I would love him to take the role if he thought he was fit and able enough but if not, who would you want to see playing the part Bilbo Baggins?
I’ve seen Martin Freeman touted as being perfect for the part and he’s certainly got the face for it but I’m not sure I see him in the part. How about Elijah Wood returning to Middle Earth to play Bilbo Baggins? We know he makes a convincing Hobbit and the family ties would explain off the resemblance.
I’ve even read Robin Williams may be put forward for the part because of his hairy feet:-)
Who would you like to see get the part?
