'The Hobbit' has been going through a lot as of late, it has lost its director Guillermo del Toro, and Ian McKellen is rumored to drop out of the film. But here is some (hopefully) positive news about the film, Sylvester McCoy, who is one of the elven actors to play Doctor Who, is being said to be joining the film.
Sources say that McCoy would play the second biggest lead in the film. Anyone know who McCoy could be playing?
'The Hobbit' currently has no director, although Peter Jackson is rumored to take the directors chair. It is only fitting of course, considering he directed 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy. Ian McKellen and Andy Serkis are expected to reprise there roles of Gandalf and Gollum, although as I mentioned above, McKellen's place in the film has been shrouded in doubt more recentley.
'The Hobbit' is expected to be released in December 2012, then a second part is expected to be released in December 2013.
