Casting Rumors Galore…
IGN.com is reporting that Martin Freeman may have been cast as Bilbo, and has a few other rumors (any guesses on what role David Tennant might play?). People.co.uk is also reporting that James Nesbitt may have signed on for a major role.
As always, these are just rumors — if we hear anything concrete, we’ll definitely let you know!

David Tennant for Woodland King! Tennant for king!
Seriously though,he’d be perfect for the role. Young looking,with those creepily yet awesomely old looking eyes,hilarious when he’s acting out of his mind. Good at acting out weird situations. Not sure how he’d look with long hair.
Plus-You get fangirls that’ll watch it just for him!
I can see Freeman in the role. But I really want MacAvery. Really. I’d rather be seeing Tumnus than Watson.
David Tennant??!! Oh yes please!! He could be Legolas’ father?! He’s tall enough to be an elf.
I originally thought of Tennant as one of the dwarves, but he definitely would make an excellent Thranduil.
james nesbitt… he could be one of the trolls!
Fangirls that’ll watch it just for Tennant? That would be me, then. 😛
Hope the Martin Freeman thing is true. The first time I saw him on TV (only a few months back), I just went, “Bilbo.” 🙂
fdsajklf Tennant has been cast?? It would be cruel to joke.
Holy $#!+ here come the fangirls.
