I never really thought about it until the rumours about him playing Bilbo surfaced a few months ago. Then I realised how perfect he would be as Bilbo, and now he is!!!! =)
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT!? Last thing I heard was that he declined the role because of Sherlock obligations, and I thought that was such a pity... That makes me so happy! He'll be the perfect Bilbo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, the moment I read this here I was reminded about why I should check out more regularly the news page belonging to the LotR message board that's been kind of my living room on the net for past ten years. *g* It's kind of crazy that I read this here first and then had to go back there and check. ;)
:D It is rather crazy but it makes me happy that at least someone on my flist hadn't heard of the news before I posted it. And that someone happened to be a LOTR just made it all the better. =p
It's just perfect, isn't it :D My two favourite fandoms of the moment are just coming together this month XD I'm SO happy :D And for Martin too of course :D
I am so pumped!!!!!!! Everything has connections with everything now - just imagine the awesome crossovers there will be.
So happy for Martin ofcourse. He so very much deserves this! Now... I really want BC to play Smaug but I've heard that they've got Bill Nighy for the job? Love BN, ofcourse, and there's a hitchhiker connection there, but I would so have loved BC more, especially since BC has apparently expressed an interest to play Smaug

Haha I tweeted that yesterday immediately after I heard he was going to be Bilbo XD
I vote Benedict Cumberbatch for the voice of Smaug!!! Would be his dream role after all XD
:D
Bill Nighy would be alright I guess... :P (I love him, but BC a wee bit more :D)

Hahahahahaha you were quick of the mark!!!!
Alan Rickman would've been my 2nd choice for Smaug, but BN's still cool, ofcourse. Not points for guessing my first choice.
Just a Wee bit more????????? :D
