Peter Jackson Hobbles Over to Direct The Hobbit

[kickyourass]

You know what I am sick of all this crap that's been goin on with this movie, either make the damn thing or don't. Hell at this point I'm not even sure I WANT to see The Hobbit after all these mid-production changes that have been going on.

I was under the impression he was Directing them from the start..

Huh.

Although Christopher Lee wont be returning as Saruman, as he says he's too old to fly to New Zealand now. Sad news.

That really sucks. Christopher Lee is awesome. Do you know if they got Ian Holm as Bilbo though?

Off topic, did he lose weight? I could have sworn he was much podgier than that picture suggests.

I just noticed a necro sorry for posting

Oops, I honestly thought this was a new story. Darn you, linked pages that are actually quite out of date.

Ian Holm is too old to play the young Bilbo, but apparently they are considering him for a narration part. Most likely to play Bilbo at the moment is Martin Freeman http://uk.imdb.com/name/nm0293509/
