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.

Btw, I'm a bit confused. Why was King Henry addressed as "Your Grace" and "My Lord" in the movie instead of "Your Majesty" all the time?

As for why Henry was called that in the movie, I don't really know for sure. But could it be because it was American made and don't really bother about the details?
