omgwtf awesome Hobbit casting rumor

[rivendellrose]

And with the addition of the latest actor rumored to play the voice of Smaug, the complete cast and production design list for "The Hobbit," comes just a few people away from needing to be retitled "Almost every fandom that rivendellrose loves most working together on a single project just this once."

Yeah, sure, it's only a rumor - but I squeed so hard I think I scared the cat.

Please, please, please PJ? Can we please have this rumor be true? I promise to be a good little geek and stop making nasty comments about how you'll probably make it too dark and serious, if you just make this one little casting choice the truth... ♥

Hmm. Awkward, though - I'm pretty sure they're missing one casting choice that was confirmed on TheOneRing.net a few weeks ago, which... makes me wonder about the validity of their "rumors." Siiiiiiiiiiiigh. But, still, a fangirl can hope!

...I'd better go do some of the work I swore I'd do tonight. My sideline projects have all decided to collide at once, lately. Oops.

So, are we talking about David Tennant or Leonard Nimoy?

I approve of both...actually, I prefer over Leonard Nimoy over the previous Smaug rumor...Bill Nighy...and once you've sung a song about Hobbits, shouldn't you get cast in a film about them?

Nimoy! Although I am deeply amused at the idea of the Doctor playing Legolas' daddy. There's just something... cosmically wrong about that. Or perhaps right. I haven't decided yet.

And yes, I was very upset by the whole Bill Nighy rumor. I love Bill Nighy, of course, but his voice is... just not right for Smaug. But Nimoy... ♥!

once you've sung a song about Hobbits, shouldn't you get cast in a film about them?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of that... I've had it stuck in my head ever since I read the entry on IMDB. Yeesh.
