Holm as a narrator would be excellent and entirely appropriate.

That would be grand if the could get Ian to narrate. IMO that would just tie everything together quite nicely.

Indeed! Would certainly add to the continuity.

Nope. No way he could pull off Bilbo. Ian Holm is nearly 80 years old.Not sure he would be up to all the physical work involved (trudging up mountains, fighting spiders, and riding barrels down great rivers).

Thanks for the info. I did not realize he is that old.

Thanks Anubis.


Aragorn still a possibility for The Hobbit?

You wouldn't think so if in fact the Hobbit covers both films and is taken as per the book but you never know what they'll come up with.

When the idea was for a bridge film, I could see where Aragorn would fit in nicely. But with the two films being just the Hobbit, I hope Aragorn is just a cameo. Maybe a shot of him in one of the human towns.

Either way I can't wait to see what they do. Been waiting for this for a long time. The LOTR movies are what originally got me started with collecting.

Bring on the Hobbit!

Maybe Bilbo announcement?

It could possibly be that the second Hobbit movie might stretch into a bridge a bit and he may be in it. I hope so!

It's gonna be announced on lordoftherings.net, so maybe that site will be turning into thehobbit.net?

Stephen Fry is a likely casting for a dwarf.

He does look dwarvish.

I can see him with an axe.

Apparently Steven Fry auditioned for a part as a goblin in the original trillogy but they turned him away for being too ugly

Stephen Fry as a dwarf would be an awesome addition to the cast.

Viggo Mortensen playing an nine-year-old Aragorn would not.
