I hear Martin Freeman is playing as Bilbo and actors such as James Nesbitt and Michael Fassbender will be in the film too - great actors so far. I think Christopher Lee is returning as Saruman and Ian McKellen as Galdalf too.

I also remember reading that Peter Jackson has the intention of turning the children's book into a much darker tale, accessible for adult viewers as well. What ever the case may be, I'm excited.
