I'm not sure how I feel about this

rabid1stThere is talk that David Tennant might be cast as Bilbo in the Hobbit. Here is a link to some of the talk...

And my mind sort of bends around the idea. On the one hand, good for David as it is a lead role in what promises to be a huge film. On the other hand...David is not very hobbit-like in my opinion. I know they will shrink him and cover his feet in fur and CGI him to within an inch of his life...but still...I have a hard time seeing him as Bilbo Baggins. He undoubtedly has the talent to hold an audience...and to even transform into something hobbit-y, I suppose. I just am not sure you step into leading man roles via hobbit feet. I'd rather see him do elfish, I think.
James McAvoy would be my choice out of the three listed. But, on the other hand, David would definitely get me to the theater...and I wasn't planning on going. So there is that.
