My first instinct when I heard this rumor was, “Huh???”  And when I read that it was refuted I thought, “Thank goodness.”  Tobey Maguire as Bilbo Baggins?  It just didn’t seem to fit at all, especially since the casting of the LOTR trilogy was so spot-on.   But I don’t know.  I didn’t think he could have pulled off Spiderman either, and he was great in that (Spiderman 3 excluded for reasons of total crapness).

Too bad Ian Holm is getting on in years now, because he was great as Bilbo in LOTR.  I hope they get somebody with a similar look and manner.  Or maybe they should just make him look young with all that magic CGI that James Cameron is inventing.
