How serious are things getting on pre-pre-production on “The Hobbit”? Unconfirmed word has reached us (thanks spies!) that Lawrence Makoare (the unforgettable Lurtz, among other roles) has been asked to meet with Guillermo del Toro regarding “The Hobbit.” Certainly the versatile actor, stuntman and good guy would be great to have around the set but on a purely speculative note, do we have our Goblin King?

Wouldn't LM make a good Beorn? Hey, he'd need less makeup?

I think he could be Beorn. I just think that whoever plays Beorn needs to be really good at acting. In my opinion Beorn is one of the harder characters to portray in the movie. I think Makoare would be better as the Goblin King.

Hmm...interesting, I wonder if Sala Baker (suited up as Sauron in FOTR and Lugdush in TTT) could fit in The Hobbit somewhere? I saw him being a stunt/weapons demonstrator on Deadliest Warrior. That guy is a tank!

Edit: Ahh...and I have just seen imdb's got Hugo Weaving rumored to come back as Elrond. That should make some fans happy

Yay, Hugo Weaving will be back as Elrond

Lawrence Makoare, AKA Gothmog, Witch-King and Lurtz returning in The Hobbit? Sounds pretty cool

He could always do the voice of Smaug, but which voice would he use? Gothmog's voice would be kinda cool for Smaug(Gothsmaug?) But so would Lurtz's. Trying to imagine Smaug with either Gothmog's voice or Lurtz's even though i've never seen Smaug..

Sala Baker, AKA Sauron and Lugdush returning would be cool as well. He could be a pretty good choice for Smaug as well.
