Just glad they have found someone to play Bilbo. Hope they finish it before I die of old age.

Yo i know this has nothin to do with this guy bein Bilbo and all but i know who else should play in the Hobbit Movie. I think Michael Clarke Duncan should play Beorn, Gandalf’s friend.

It’s too bad Ian Holmes is too old for the role…he really brought to life the character of Bilbo Baggins for me in the LOTR. One of the better casting choices.

[...] has named Guillermo Del Toro as director for the two Hobbit movies, and the pair have chosen Rowan Atkinson — well, no, they haven’t chosen anyone yet although the money’s on David Tennant [...]

God it’s pathetic, you all really took this joke to heart didn’t you. To quote Rowan Atkinson in Blackadder “it’s about the worst joke since Cardinal Wolseley got his knob out at Hampton Court and stood in the middle of the passage pretending to be a door”.
As if they’d actually cast Rowan Atkinson, honestly they’re not as stupid as that.

I think he would play a good Bilbo. Most people know Rowan as Mr Bean but he used to be in a lot of Shakespearean plays and is quite a versatile actor. With a little make up and adding a few extra pounds to his weight he could pull it of. But anyway its just an april fool… Or maybe they were testing us to see how we’d react and actually are considering him

i would be very disappointed if rowan akinston played bilbo (no offence) but i think he doesnt have the right qualities and he will probrably ruin the movie, he seems too much of a comedian, and i think they shouldve chosen somone more sober
