Wasn't Bilbo quite a bit younger than Ian Holm could pull off during the events of The Hobbit? I doubt he will be returning.

And not only do they lack a director at this time, it is my understanding that they also lack a script, so they'd best get moving on this.

I really enjoyed The Hobbit when I read it ten years ago, and always felt like it would make an exciting movie, so I will be glad when this does finally get filmed.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Dude is nearly 80 years old. Do you think he would be able to handle this? I mean, they would have to resort to a stunt double every time Bilbo has to move faster than a snail's pace. Do we really want that?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
