The Hobbit Movie

SamwiseGamgee · 01-26-2003, 05:16 PM

I'm not saying that there is going to be a film version of "The Hobbit", but if there was, who would you guys cast in the different roles?

Here's my cast list:

Bilbo: Ian Holm
Gandalf: Ian McKellen
Thorin: Sean Connery
Bard: Daniel-Day Lewis
Beorn: Gerard Depardieu
Smaug (voice): Christopher Lee
Gollum: Andy Serkis
Goblin King: Steve Buscemi

Feel free to critique my choices

Sean Connory as Thorin? I've read in another thread that Connory almost got McKellens role as Gandalf in LotR.

I think Connery would be perfect as Thorin, who is pretty much this stubborn, leaderly type dwarf. Granted, he might be a pretty good Gandalf, but in my opinion, McKellen was one of the best casting jobs in cinematic history. I mean, he got a Best Supporting Actor nomination.
