Brilliant new, and I'm sure Serkis will be in as Gollum. Now all we need is Elrond (Hugo Weaving), who had a short role in the book (might be excluded too)... and voila!

I'm all for getting a new actor to play Bilbo, not sure who though. Also, am very curious to know as to who will play Beorn! he was an awesome character!

Cant wait!
