The Hobbit rumors are starting up again

[lpbrowncoat]

"That casting has just beginning, and there will be many more opportunities for the kind of career-changing roles that went in the original trilogy to the likes of Orlando Bloom, Liv Tyler, Viggo Mortensen, Elijah Wood and Sean Astin. None of this is set, but I've heard that James Nesbitt and David Tennant are up for roles, and that Ian McKellan and Andy Serkis are expected to reprise Gandalf and Gollum, though I don't believe they have made deals. Stephen Fry, Saoirse Ronan and Bill Nighy (as the voice of the dragon Smaug) are possible participants, and Aiden Turner is in contention for the Elf King."

I thought these rumors were debunked a while ago but who knows?!

And I'm not going to lie on this one...I'm more excited about Richard Armitage and Aiden Turner being in this film than the casting of Martin Freeman as Bilbo.
