Ian Holm will be in The Hobbit

While the novel focuses on the origin of the ring and a younger Bilbo Baggins (now played by Martin Freeman), Ian Holm is confirmed to reprise his role as Bilbo Baggins during some point in the two-part film, directed by Peter Jackson.

This is Jackson’s response: “One comment that came up from the recent video blog was the Bilbo voice at the end—many of you assumed it was Sir Ian Holm. Whilst Ian will be returning as the older Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit, that recording was actually Martin Freeman’s voice, taken from a script read through we recorded when the cast first arrived. I have to admit, I wasn’t sure who it was when I first heard it, either.”

Part 1 of The Hobbit will be in theaters December 2012, followed by Part 2 December 2013.
