Bilbo

Over at Shakesville, Wev McEwan has a link at to the first pictures of Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit.

To put it simply, Freeman looks more like a Bagginses than Ian McKlellan looks like a Gandalf, which means, I can’t wait!

Also, guess who’s doing the voice of Smaug.

There and back again on this blog: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Middle Earth.

Really? He's Smaug?

*unmanly squee*

Best news I've heard about the whole project, other than the Martin Freeman angle. He's truly the every-Baggins/Wwatson/Ponder Stibbons.

I first misunderstood that as Morgan Freeman playing Bilbo, and I thought, "Wow. Now that's a daring casting choice."
