I must post that now. Even tough a few people might be upset that there's one more Hobbit thread.....BUT why do people think that Ian Holm is too old for Bilbo's part?? If ye have read The Hobbit you gotta know that he's around 50 (!) when he lives the shire. And most people don't look like fresh fruits in their fifties....so I'd see no problem there....! I had to say that...! Don't you agree? Btw...I'm totally against the idea that Elijah should play Bilbo. He is Frodo...they'd make a big mistake if they'd give him Bilbo's part.... Just my personal point of view...

yeah, elijah wouldn't do as bilbo...he's too american, if you get my meaning. bilbo is supposed to be like a kind of eccentric old english country gent...(at least that's how i perceive him from the book) and i don't think elijah would fit that part exactly, although it is possible.

the only reason u think lij shouldn't play frodo is cause ur so used to seeing play frodo - i can't see any one else playing any of those characters!!!

No, it's impossible for Ian Holm to play Bilbo in the Hobbit. In Fotr, you saw a short scene of Ian Holm as the Bilbo from the Hobbit. They had to make his face all tight with tape and stuff to make him younger. That must have been very uncomfortable. I'm sure he wouldn't go through that a whole movie for the Hobbit.

they should find an actor completely unrelated to any of the existing lotr films. bilbo plays a small part in lotr, so it wouldn't make much of a difference if someone else played him in the hobbit.
