Bilbo and Primo are both known for their kitchens, after all. Hmm, I guess Campbell Scott could be Beorn. Minnie Driver as Thranduil. Marc Anthony as Balin. Isabella Rosellini as the Lord of the Eagles... And Ian Holm as Smaug! That's how you use Holm without over-taxing him: just his voice! And it would nicely emphasize Smaug as foil to Bilbo, by having a former Bilbo actor play opposite in the story's climactic scene! Could Gandalf and Balin's visit to Bilbo with which Tolkien concludes the book be reworked as a long take in which Bilbo fries them up some eggs?
