So it looks like we're finally getting our Hobbit movies underway, with filming starting in February, and now we have some casting information as well!

Bilbo Baggins will be portrayed by none other than Mr. Martin Freeman
Thorin Oakenshield will be played by the unnecessarily handsome Richard Armitage
The rest of the Dwarves don't seem to be anybody of consequence but you can find the list here
And of course, Ian McKellen, Andy Serkis, and probably Hugo Weaving will be reprising their respective roles, and there are rumors of Sylvester McCoy (of Doctor Who fame) playing Radagast the Brown but we don't know for sure
UPDATE
There are also rumors of possible parts for David Tennant, James Nesbitt, Stephen Fry and Bill Nighy (rumored to be considered for the voice of Smaug)
The movie went through some trouble due to MGM's screwing of the proverbial pooch, and Guillermo del Toro left the director's seat and handed it back over to Peter Jackson (who despite what he's said in the past probably wanted to do this all along, in my opinion)
So yeah
I don't know about y'all but I'm ready to get my hobbit on again
Gonna watch all the LOTR extended editions
I put on my robe and wizard hat

He would have brought things to life a little better IMO.
this movie seemed like it was circling the drain for a while
Fuck that chapter.
not really I have no strong feelings on him one way or the other
Aha!
You're a neutral spy are you!
Take him to the brig!
I'll be in the holo shed.
Their whole thing was kinda creepy weird.
EDIT: Is it weird that I picture him as looking like Charles Manson?

No I think this is a Harry Potter sequel
That is exactly what I thought when I saw that picture.
Get out of my head, GG! This is getting ridiculous.

i have more than one memory of sitting on the couch of my first home, flipping through the album art/book in time with the album. Gollum was freaking terrifying in this version.
"yes, it rings true." Gandalf sees wut you did thar
Gut feeling
This is certainly not something I'm telling myself to avoid getting to excited about something before it happens
Not like that at all, no sir
box
office
poison
The Silmirillion: a fake history textbook that's twice as tedious to read
yes one of these is definitely going to make a better movie than the other
there is literally no good way to make that movie and also make money
Silmarillion movie:nerds::passion of the christ:religious right
Morgoth, the hosts of the Valar, the ancestors of Numenor, hosts of high dragons and balrogs
fuck the box office I want my eye heroin
