I'm glad casting finally listened to me about something. Freeman was my choice for Bilbo all along. :-)

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

I was seriously only thinking yesterday: Now they can invite MF to RingCon next year :O OMG!!! :D He should bring his English friend then XD

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)

That would be so awesome for you guys if he could go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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
