I think Michael Clarke Duncan should play Beorn, Gandalf's friend. 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.

One of the better casting choices. 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.

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. God it’s pathetic, you all really took this joke to heart didn’t you.

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 think he would play a good Bilbo.

Has any major pre-production or possibly maybe even a glimmer of "shooting" started on the film(s) yet? What's the latest? Or is "Jackson" just too busy currently doing work for the new TinTIn films?

Reading the other comments leads me to believe I was not the only one who questioned the joke. Other sites put up a note at the top of the article that said in BIG BOLD LETTERS ON APRIL 2ND THAT THIS IS A APRIL FOOLS JOKE!!!!!!
