fair enough its hard to make such an amazin book into a great film but then dont call it what it aint if you cant make the hobbit make a film based on tolkiens hobbit call it something different even the start of lotr where merry and pippin let of the dragon firework bothers me by not stayin true to the story! the cast for lotr was great as it turns out dont just bring people back for fans and money! the hobbit shud have whoever portrays the charactars best preferably new actors its a different story dont merge it not necessary if you only change small parts of the book like tiny parts then it will be great as the book is
sorry that turned into a big rant its early!

They could cast one of them as Bilbo but without completely changing the story there’s no way to bring them all back.

I think I would cast the actor Rupert Friend as Thranduil. He’s young yes, but makeup can always give him the illusion of looking a bit older. Plus, he is a splitting image of Orlando Bloom.

Ok gang, I guess you have to think of this as storytelling. Obviously the only way to bring back old characters is to begin the movie as a retrospect from Bilbo,s POV. Perhaps Bilbo is telling ,Sam ,Merry, Pippin, And Frodo about his adventure and then get to the main parrt of the film. There you could reprise Ian, Elijah, Sean, Dom and Billy and I would like to see them start the movie like that, after all Hobbits love storytelling.

if i was casting roles for the hobbit movie i would try to land the following actors:
bilbo: topher grace(he might also have been a good frodo in another universe)
thorin: james cosmo(he played “campbell” in braveheart)
balin: brendan gleeson
bombur: robbie coltrane(he has that aura of gruffness and geniality as seen in the “harry potter movies”)
its also a good idea as suggested by another person to use maybe dominic monaghan and billy boyd to play fili and kili…i think theyd fit in nicely there.
the part of thranduil would be perfect for willem dafoe. he has the look of nobility with the slightest hint of ruthlessness that would be good for that character. if not in “the hobbit” then definitly in any future silmarillion movie as thingol.
maybe peter jackson could put himself in as another dwarf…maybe dwalin or ori….
and Ron perlman would be awesome as Beorn(assuming they even use the character…you know how they totally reshape a story to benefit a movie )

Simple (see my arguments in other related previous posts on this web site) “Jackson” equals not “true to book” – did it for the LOTR films – will do it again for The Hobbit. For those who have the extended versions of the LOTR films- listen to the director’s track on his “justification” for changing things from the book in making the films – they aren’t justified and this brings a new meaning to artistic licence – more like self centered artistic “butchery”. As Stevo’ says above maybe (and probably) will see our four “famous” (and huge money making) hobbits in the (2nd) Hobbit film. Del Toro please save us Tolkien purists!
