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.

...Wow, I literally saw that and said aloud, "Oh, please, that would be so awesome." DON'T SHATTER MY HOPES AND DREAMS BY PROVING THIS JUST A RUMOR, PJ. I think from now on Nimoy will be my headcanon for Smaug's voice. FOREVER.

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?

I've been wibbling about this ever since I heard Richard Armitage and Martin Freeman had been cast. With each successive name added to the list ... *wibbles like a wibbly thing*

I am very scared of this movie. To be honest, I don't plan to see it until I hear some very positive reviews, if it even actually ends up getting made.

Oh, dude. IF THIS IS TRUE... *FLAILS MOAR*

SRSLY HE WOULD BE PERFECT!!!

And now I will forever more think of his voice as Smaug whenever I re-read the book.

It's funny I hadn't even thought of the VA for Smaug for this movie, but seriously he's just perfect for it. *dances*

I don't care who gets cast for what - I'm just glad my LOTR fandom is back. I have so missed checking TORn a million times a day. *sigh*
