Years ago I caused consternation in the mind of a previous wife after perusing a copy of Premiere magazine & suddenly announcing (true) that someone was planning a movie based on the Bridges of Madison County - a favourite of Mrs Llew #1.
She asked "Do they say who is going to be in it?"
Quite offhand, and untruthfully I replied "It says they're rewriting it to suit Tom Cruise."
Later, as she was sealing the envelope with the torrid words of profanity to the studio in question, I had to admit that I was fibbing. I can happily report that the news that Clint Eastwood would star met with tentative approval at least. By now she wasn't prepared to believe me when I said it was being rewritten to include a gunfight & car chase so that Clint felt comfortable with the script.
But anyway. Here's my prediction for the Hobbit film, should Sir Peter Jackson not make the cut.
Bilbo Baggins - Tom Cruise - I figure they can save on the special effects to make him small, especially when paired with
Gandalf - Clint Eastwood
Elrond - Morgan Freeman - it's written in Clint's contract these days, that Freeman has to play his best friend in every movie he's in.
Pingepoo - Katie Holmes - Elrond's other daughter, who develops a crush on Bilbo
Smaug - Andy Serkis, in a nod to Jackson.
Just my thoughts - take 'em or leave 'em.
