Waiting for Fro—Bilbo!
Yeah, I admit, the title is a pretty lame play on Figwit, but the famous web comic Waiting For Frodo has always been great. It had to end, of course, yet hope remains in its newly launched spinoff: Waiting for Bilbo.
I can’t wait to see what happens next! I hope that this is as brilliant as the Frodo one!
Oh, by the way, moar Hobbit movie news:
Bilbo Baggins casting rumors!
There have been tons rumored actors to play the young Bilbo Baggins so far, but the most popular ones have been:

[L-R: Jack Black, James McAvoy, Martin Freeman, and Daniel Radcliffe]
I’d rather they took an unknown actor, really. If they were to choose from any of those actors, I’d go for Martin Freeman. The guy looks an awful lot like a Hobbit and would definitely pass for a younger version of Sir Ian Holm. Daniel Radcliffe is too young and too Harry Potter; James McAvoy is a brilliant actor, yet I associate him with Nicholas and Mr. Tumnus too much and I don’t think that another fantasy flick would do him good anyway; Jack Black is made of Awesome and Rock, but that’s the problem, really: he’s too much of a funny man. I bet he could even play Peter Jackson if ever PJ needed an actor to play him in his biopic.
Either way, I just can’t wait to see how director Guilermo Del Toro is going to get this Hobbit on the move! It’s been YEARS since that last LOTR film. I just can’t wait to see this Hobbit movie. The possibilities are ENDLESS!
