Should be pretty kick ass. Though I don't know about the second movie...

Going to be three hours of Bilbo sitting around bag end or something? :P

Jeff Parrott

Is Bilbo going to be played by Sir Old Guy Whatshisname-reallygoodactordude that played him in the other movies? Seems he'd be a bit too old to go back. Wonder who they'll cast for him. At least Andy Serkis can keep the ping pong ball suit on for a few more years.

Tis old news round here, but I didn't know they were making 2. Thats interesting.

I was in school during the making of LOTR and King Kong, so I guess I better get moving to Weta so I don't miss out on the action. Wish me luck.
