Finally, some good news from The Hobbit. The first volley of casting has been announced and while most of the parts are given over to UK TV actors the film has landed the Bilbo everybody wanted. Martin Freeman – Arthur Dent in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy – is now officially Bilbo Baggins.
Here’s the rest of the casting announced at The One Ring:
Martin Freeman – Bilbo Baggins

Aidan Turner – Kili
Rob Kazinsky – Fili
Graham McTavish – Dwalin
John Callen – Oin
Stephen Hunter – Bombur
Mark Hadlow – Dori
Peter Hambleton – GloinMore to come, obviously, but that’s a bunch of dwarves.
