Exclusive: Bilbo the Brave? Hobbit casting details
The One Ring.Net ^ | September 9, 2010 | MrCere

We recently got our hands on what we think is some authentic Bilbo casting and production information which seemed to contradict something we knew with absolute certainty: The Hobbit production wanted Martin Freeman for Bilbo and has since as long ago as last year. Seemingly at odds with that fact was apparently concrete casting details about Bilbo and actors still giving audition tapes. Was the role sewn up or not?

A spy has provided an exclusive clue or two about what the role of Bilbo will be like and even a plot detail and a production outline but we were reluctant to report it because of apparent contradictions, but with all the recent Freeman news, it now fits in context. And yes, you have to read on. This is news you must work for, at least a little bit.

You really should put some warning before that link. It takes a long time to recover from the brain cell massacre at causes.

What WAS Nimoy thinking?????

No, there was a typo on the secret memo. It’s not Martin Freeman, it’s Morgan Freeman!
