James Mcovy rumored to play Bilbo Baggins in the upcoming Hobbit movie....???

It's too bad that Ian Holm isn't going to reprise his role. But I guess this guy is good, he was good in "The Last King of Scotland". But how do they explain that part in the first Lord Of The Rings where Ian Holm is playing young Bilbo? They should pull a George Lucas with future disc releases if they can't get Ian Holm to do it.

well, Ian is old...and its supposed to be about Bilbo in his young years...i think. lol

but i've read so many articles about this movie being scraped. so it would be lucky to even come out IMO.

James McAvoy isn't going to be in The Hobbit. http://www.theonering.net/torwp/2008/06/12/29004-james-mcavoy-says-he%E2%80%99s-not-going-to-be-a-hobbit/

Pre production has begun on the films but no news has been officially released about the cast.

Yeah, but remember in the fellowship of the ring when Gandalf says to Bilbo "My, you haven't aged a day." EXACT QUOTE! Ian Holm could easily play Bilbo, because they could make him seem a little younger, with younger hair, but the same face. I am going to miss Ian.

Yeah, but he could have been saying "you havnt aged a bit since you turned 60" or something like that. i mean, wasnt he 111? he looks like he's 60, so thats what he could have been talking about.

What?! Ian Holm turned down the offer?! What the hell kind of idiot--*sigh* I just got done with The Hobbit, and I have got to say, I was really hoping Ian Holm would reprise his role from LotR. This sucks.

51 is the last time Gandalf saw Bilbo, and Gandalf said when he saw Bilbo at his 111th b-day "My, You haven't aged a day," because the ring gives you longer life.

No Ian Holm? Come on Ian, someone offer him enough money dang it.duxup

he's way too old to play it.
