December 14, 2012 can’t come soon enough…

Starting to get kind of excited about this, despite it being another two-parter – the latest Hollywood dollar-stretching technique that I’ve come to despise. Still, I guess Martin Freeman is playing Bilbo, which should be kind of interesting – I’ve really only seen him in the Hitchhiker’s movie and the British version of The Office, but he seems like a good-natured chap that at least through the trailer appears to fit the role well!

Just for the record, though – isn’t it a little weird how both Frodo and Gandalf are still being played by the same people, yet we get a younger, more handsome Bilbo this time around? How much time passed between The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, and why didn’t Frodo age, too?!
