The Hobbit is moving forward

Alright, the film adaptation of The Hobbit is moving forward. After Guillermo Del Toro stepped down as director a few months ago, I heard that Jackson was set to direct and that’s what’s happening. They’ve also cast the perfect Bilbo: Martin Freeman. Freeman was Tim on The Office, Arthur Dent in the Hitchhiker’s movie, and John Watson in the excellent new Sherlock series.
