The Hobbit close to casting its Bilbo?

This just in -- even before locking down a director, it appears the producers of The Hobbit may be zeroing in on their choice to play Bilbo Baggins.


And it's none other than Martin Freeman from the original Office!


I love this casting choice. If you'll follow the link and check out the source, you'll see that negotiations are ongoing with Freeman. Let's hope it all works out.
