While sick this past weekend, I picked up Tolkien’s The Hobbit for the first time in years and found so much joy in re-reading it. Does anyone know if (and when) they are making a movie based on this book, and who is going to be in it?

Which character would you want to play, Gav?
My good man, I believe that they decided to include the basics of The Hobbit in the first of The Lord of the Rings series. If I remember correctly, a good bit of it was told by the narrator along with a few flashbacks. I personally think it would be a great movie on its own and you would make a great Beorn. I would like to be Thorin Oakenshield mostly because of his great name, but also because of his valor and skill. I am afraid, however, that I would probably be more suited to play Bombur.
I think Gollum would be the most interesting character to play – or Gandalf. The problem is the characters would be constantly compared to the LOTR characters. I could have sworn someone told me they were making this movie though.
Gavin…I knew I had heard something about a hobbit movie being worked on, here is a link at movies.com http://movies.go.com/the-hobbit/d932831/scifi
Thanks Penny – looks like its still a long way off. Sigh . . .
I am glad, though, that Peter Jackson is doing it.
