Rumors are spreading that Brian Cox is a front runner for one of the leading Dwarf parts in The Hobbit movie.
It seems to have started with gossip hunter Latauro who reports for Aintitcool.com
While the claim comes with a warning that sources aren’t sure if Cox is either already signed up or is simply wanted by GDT, Jackson and company, it would be a logical piece of casting.
In The Lord of the Rings Jackson had John Rhys-Davies play Gimli with the accent of a Scotsman so Cox certainly fits the part. He’s also IMHO a brilliant actor and would be perfect for the part of either Thorin or Balin.
With the script reportedly now finished, casting should be the next step so rumors will be flying around but we should soon be getting some official news over the next few months and I’m hoping this rumor proves to be true.
