Well before Frodo there was Bilbo, star of Guillermo del Toro&#8217;s upcoming adaptation of &#8220;The Hobbit&#8221;. &#8221; When MTV&#8217;s Josh Horowitz spoke to Wood at Sundance this week, he asked the &#8220;Rings&#8221; star who his pick would be for the as-yet-uncast role.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I honestly love the initial rumor from way back when, which was James McAvoy,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s not alone. As anyone who saw and enjoyed &#8220;Wanted&#8221; knows, McAvoy is able to capture the right blend of bumbling goofiness and reflexive courage that is so necessary to capturing the Bilbo Baggins character.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think he would be fantastic,&#8221; Wood said. &#8220;I&#8217;m a fan of his work and I think he&#8217;s the right age and I think that he has a quality to him that could fit quite nicely with what Ian Holm did in the first movie.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You can read the article here: <a href=\"http:\/\/moviesblog.mtv.com\/2010\/01\/28\/elijah-wood-names-james-mcavoy-as-his-pick-for-bilbo-baggins-in-the-hobbit\/\" target=\"_blank\">MTV Movies Blog<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the\u00a0MTV Movies Blog:\u00a0\u00a0The fantastic performance by Elijah Wood in Peter Jackson&#8217;s adaptation of &#8220;The Lord Of The&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":56,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[114,4,148,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hobbit-casting","category-hobbit-movie","category-hobbit","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1tLoH-97P","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35081","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/56"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35081"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35081\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
