It sounds unlikely to me, but 
I recently got a tip that during promoting the film BROTHERS at the Four Seasons in New York last month, Tobey Maguire was having a conversation and was asked which director he would like to work with next? [sic]
Tobey’s answer? “Gullermo Del Toro”
Know what else Tobey said?
“We may have something here in the near future.”
Really?
Could Peter Parker be playing Bilbo Baggins?
STOP GIVING ME THE THIRD DEGREE!
I checked with agency sources and yep, it’s true!
Apparently, we’re in the early stages of talks between CAA and the producers of the Hobbit film for Tobey to topline the film as Bilbo Baggins!
Again, right now it’s that – just dialogue taking place between the respective parties.
Tobey hasn’t been cast and an offer hasn’t been made. It’s just talks.
Even I was skeptical because wait a minute, wasn’t Spider-man 4 and 5 supposed to shoot back to back?
I did my due diligence and according to a source inside Sony, Spiderman-4 and 5 IS NOT SHOOTING back to back. So technically speaking, Tobey is available after shooting Spiderman 4 which is slated to begin shooting Winter 2010. The first Hobbit film is slated to start shooting mid-summer 2010.
If you think about it, a star like Tobey Maguire would make sense and provide a comfort zone for the WB because both The Hobbit films are going to be very expensive.
It doesn’t sound likely to me, because when Spider-Man 4 was announced, the story was that Maguire wanted mornings and evenings off, which doesn’t sound to me like a guy dying to headline another franchise movie. Then again, money talks, bullsh-t walks, coffee is for closers, and lunch is for faggots and all that stuff. Have I mentioned I don’t really care?

Does that picture of toby in the car remind anyone else of the “KEEE YAAA” guy from Orgasmo?
Peter Parker Picked for Part in Precious Pic?
Qaplah! Maybe they can get Kirsten Dunst to play Gollum!
That banner pic is from a 15-year-old girl’s Tobey Maguire fansite, isn’t it?
Precious Patrol?
Qaplah! Maybe they can get Tom Cruise to play Thorin!
Qaplah! Maybe they can get Tobey’s Schlong to play Bombur!
Tom Cruise could play Bilbo Baggins.
Without the camera tricks and body doubles.
Because he’s short.
attyBoo, if that had been in the form of a Haiku, I would have nommed it so hard.
So, they think they are gonna cram priciple shooting for The Hobbit with Tobey in a few months in the fall? They are aware of how those LOTR movies are made, right?
…er, I mean…
For me, “early talks” is just me making small talk long enough for the ruffies to kick in.
Qaplah! Maybe they can get Tobey Maguire to play with girls!
Tom Cruise is very short
Could play titular hobbit
In this here movie.
Shit. Too many syllables in the first line. Change “very” to “so.”
Dildo Daggins > Bilbo Baggins.
To avoid typecasting, SJP will be playing Smaug.
Patty-you would have to be wearing stiletto heels whilst stepping on His dick…*grabs Bactine*
Dildo Faggins > Dildo Daggins
I don’t need to wear heels. I’m already taller than Tom Cruise.
Fleshlight Exec: Hey Tobey, we need a fresh shape for the homosexual demographic.
Tobey: *small pic*
Fleshlight Exec: You’re going places, kid.
Tom Cruise could play D-Baggins.
Tom Cruise is so short, if he was known for fingerblasting under aged girls, he would get charged as a Hobbitual sex offender.
Does Maguire have a movie coming out in May? I’d love to see a box office report saying “Iron Man whips Tobey”
Tom Cruise would never do this movie. Mt Doom being a volcano, he knows that Xenu is lobbing Theatans out of that thing like gangbusters.
Whenever I sled down a mountain I discuss moralistic absolutes and philosophy with a stuffed toy. That’s right, I always Calvin and Hobbit.
For a news post from a site called LatinoReview there sure is a glaring absence of the words “loco”, “ese” and “homes”
Hobbit slang for their wee wees, Hobbknob.
I wish the bottom pic had a Departedesque wrap up.
I understand in the sequel, Bilbo runs into his biggest fan played by Kathy Bates.
It’s called Hobbled.
O up!
James Franco will play the Hobb Goblin
In that lower photo, it looks like Tobey’s arms are 2 inches long.
That banner pic is not paedo-bear approved.
Tobey is for T-Baggins
I thought “The Hobbit Question Mark” was a film that tried to determine how many times Sam sodomized Frodo before sending him back to NeverNeverland with Gandalf, or whatever the hell happened at the end of that movie. It’s really the Shire’s version of “Capturing the Friedmans”.
Chucky Pisspants is “in farts” to watch The Hobbit.
to hell with sense.
Yea
I think a bigger question with Tobey playing Bilbo is when he puts on the ring, does he become a brooding d*bag? And then the movie branches into a blatant rip of Spider Man 3.
