CGI Bilbo? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I have to say that I wouldn't even have a CGI Gollum. The flesh and blood one in the musical was amazing. Maybe I saw too many "how it was done" documentaries but I think they overused the CGI.

So how about a low tech answer to casting Bilbo? Warwick Davis, he's the right age (37 is not far of 50 in hobbit years surely) , the right height and has taken a lead in a major fantasy film.
