Wow! After years of rumour Jackson has actually come foward and said he would like to make The Hobbit. CJRT may not like it but in the end I have no doubt that the movie will be made. Perhaps we have been a liitle bit spoilt by the fact we have a monumental LotR film every year a Xmas. Not to be offensive or crude (he gave us The Silm. for God's sake!) but CJRT is an old man and as he controlls a major part of the Tolkien say in matters once he is decessed the film will be open to be made.<P>One question that seems to have not come up is would you like to see Sir Ian Holm playing Bilbo or perhaps a younger actor? Remember, the Ring meant that he virtually did not age. However, the movie may not be made for another decade so perhaps another actor should take his role?<P>Matt<P>PS I remember asking on another thread who should voice Smaug- any ideas?
