@thwip...according to McKellen, no. He hasn't signed papers, yet. It'll happen, though.

Love James Nesbitt. He was fantastic in Cold Feet. I'm not a Tolkein aficianado, so I don't have a clue as to the character he will be playing. He's got great comedic and dramatic skills, so I'm sure he will be spot on.

I hope John Ryes Davies comes back and plays Gimli's father Gloin, either that or he'd be perfect as Beorn the bear man
