Casting is not closed... at all- we will not choose casting until after we finish the scripts. Period. So, no- No talks are bound to take place with any actor to play Bilbo in the near future. Pages come first. Some of the stuff reported there is just a tad too insane... Best GDT

So apparently the top choices for Bilbo are James McAvoy, Daniel Radcliffe and Jack Black
