Peter Jackson On The Hobbit Casting Rumors


peter_jacksonIt’s being rumored that the casting of Bilbo Baggins for The Hobbit may be announced at Comic-Con next week. Daniel Radcliffe, James McAvoy and David Tennant are all rumored to be in the running for the role but according to what Peter Jackson told Empire, the fans shouldn’t be holding their breath for a ‘Con announcement.

“No, we won’t be announcing Bilbo for a little while,” he said when we asked about a Comic-Con announcement. “We’re starting to think about casting, but we’re knee-deep in the script right now. And when we do go to actors, they’re probably going to ask to see a script, so we’re powering ahead with getting the first draft done.”
