Cumberbatched.

I didn't really dare hope that what Martin Freeman said about Benedict Cumberbatch being cast in The Hobbit might be true ( my, that line sounds rather uhm, cumbersome, doesn't it? ) but with what Ian McKellen said in his blog here, I'm starting to feel hopeful at last.

And what he said about Benedict's screen test really made me happy - It was electrifying, vocally and facially.

::SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES::

Ahem. But of course.

Now I really must go reread The Hobbit, it's been years since I last read it, and try to guess which character he's going to play!

Unless he fails his screen test of course ( unlikely but it's possible that they might not find him suitable for whatever part they're planning for him ), in which case I'm going to be one very sad camper. Which is why I still dare not hope too much for him to be in that movie.

Thank you, fellow Cumberbitch :)))

I'm trying to keep my squeeing to the minimust level as possible. I know, it's going to be harder to take if it came to nothing.

So, squeeeeeeeeeees

:D

You're familiar with Lord Of The Ring? The dwarfs accompanying Bilbo on his quest have all been cast ( not that I think Benny is going to be cast as one of course, unless there's a very tall dwarf around lol ).

If I remember correctly, there're two amazing men in the story and I'm hoping he'll be cast as one of them. I don't think there're any elf in the story but won't he be perfect as one?

You need to go read The Hobbit, esp if he got the part, whatever it is!
