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.

Look some green slime is melting the Eiffel Tower? :snort: :chortle: Oh, I'm so scared! And impressed by the flag waving and your very burly, Mr. No-Credits To Your Name but a big bicep Actor Fella and you little miss spit-fi...HELLO? Was that Chris? OMG! THAT'S CHRIS! :sigh: :swoon: Oh, I've got to start recording SciFi late night for this trailer."
Pathetic really. And yes, if David Tennant gets a substantial part in the Hobbit, I would go see it even though the thought of sitting through another Lord of the Rings movie makes me grimace because I might have a seisure or something during the third hour of it...but okay...never mind that. :downs medication:
