"With the announcement this weekend that casting of "THE HOBBIT" film is about to start, what’s up with the role of Bilbo Baggins?
Fan speculation has been running rampant for the past year. First it was rumored that James McAvoy was a contender until Peter Jackson debunked that rumor.
Then Daniel Radcliffe was making the rumor mill until he personally said, “Thanks. But no thanks.”
I recently got a tip that during promoting the film BROTHERS at the Four Seasons in New York last month, Tobey Maguire was having a conversation and was asked which director he would like to work with next?
Tobey’s answer?
“Guillermo del Toro”
Know what else Tobey said?
"We may have something here in the near future.”
Really?
Could Peter Parker be playing Bilbo Baggins?
I checked with agency sources and yep, it’s true!
Apparently, we’re in the early stages of talks between CAA and the producers of the Hobbit film for Tobey to topline the film as Bilbo Baggins!"
NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOO!!!!! ITMUST BE JAMES MCAVOY!!!!! HE WOULD BE SO PERFECT!!!!!!! :'( UGHHH!!!
