Maguire as Bilbo?

That’s right you Lord of the Rings junkies, there’s a huge bout of speculation going on that Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire might be donning some hairy feet, and that’s inching away into the true section. Latino Review reports that the actor is in early talks to actually take on the role of Bilbo Baggins in Guillermo Del Toro’s The Hobbit. At first this might seem some what impossible because Maguire is already signed on for Spider-Man 4 & 5. At this point in time The Hobbit is still looking for a studio to rest it’s head upon, so since it’s blatantly going to still be awhile I’m sure that Maguire wouldn’t mind re-arranging his schedule to his Middle Earth liking.

So, all of you LOTR fans, what do you think of this new development? Do you think that the baby blue eyed Maguire can play it up as another person of the Shire? Or should he just bury his head in his Spider-Man costume and go back to NYC?

I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job. College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
