I thought everyone was already agreed that Arthur Dent is Bilbo Baggins. Just in space.

Bilbo is suppose to be mostly a typical Hobbit which means that he doesn't like excitement or strangers and strongly inclined to avoid things that are not considered "normal" by other Hobbits. But he has a hidden inner-streak of adventurous spirit that he has always ignored until hoisted into action.
This also sounds like Freeman's character Arthur Dent. I think he'll be great as Bilbo.

(

I suppose it's inevitable but it feels like a retread... I have no idea how fundamentally different The Hobbit story is to the Lord of the Rings.
Still not a huge fan of Freeman as Bilbo.

Awesome - I always like it when the last information I've got is about some organizational issues (I thought Peter Jackson didn't want to direct it?) and the next thing I get is a complete trailer.
At least this time it's about a book I've read. 20 years ago - give or take. :p

Singing dwarves makes me happy in my soul. And the shots of them cleaning up after/during the dinner at Bag End makes it look like Jackson actually is going for the more children's story aspects of the book.

The trailer looked a bit undecided to me, at least in that respect. Are they going for big'n'epic, to appeal to the people who loved Lord of the Rings, or are they going for the children's book feel? The trailer sort of wobbles between the two; I hope the film will be a bit more tonally consistent... although, as much as I love what Jackson did with LotR, consistency of tone is definitely not one of his strengths.

It all makes sense now.
