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.

I've... been alternating between squeeing and sulking. Some part of me is absolutely determined that PJ is too serious, he'll do it too dark and gritty, and it won't have the... wonderful whimsy that Guillermo Del Toro would have brought to it. But, then, PJ is still a very good director!

And then I get all caught up in not being sure whether or not I should disapprove of the addition of whoever-the-heck Saoirse Ronan's character is meant to be. I'm all for the idea of adding female characters to a movie that would otherwise have had not a single one, but... at the same time, it seems wrong to add a character in randomly, and I worry about how it'll be handled. It's frustrating.
