Rumour has it that the identity of the actor vexation on The Hobbit will be announced by Peter Jackson at the San Diego Comic Con next week.
The LA Times’ Hero Complex blog is hearing whispers that thanks to Jackson’s first-ever live appearance (he’s tended to send videos from the set of LOTR and King Kong before) to promote District 9, he could also be bringing Hobbit word.
So who is in the hotspot to play Bilbo Baggins for Guillermo del Toro lawful at once?
Like a good marriage, it’s something sensible, a thing new, something borrowed and something… Who?
Let’s see then – old: James McAvoy, who has been touted for ages (and still seems to be a front runner).
Standing in for something new and too borrowed is Harry Potter himself, who is likely too busy playing the boy/teen wizard to nab the part. And chances are he’s too closely identified with the role for the sake of now to play one more genre icon.
And as for Who? David Tennant. It seems pure coincidence that the soon-to-be-former Timelord is attending for Dr Who (and the bigger rumour there is that he might be announcing a Who movie).
But while he’sitting less likely than, say, McAvoy, he’lunch be great in the role.
We’ll subsist sure to report from the Con next week should an announcement be made, and don’t forget to follow the TF Twitter feed, as we’ll be tweeting like crazy…
