Oct 22, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The starcast of “The Hobbit” has been announced and to the extreme delight of his fans, Graham McTavish will be starring as one of the dwarves in the film. The film though has not been able to decide on the location yet, but announced its much expected starcast. The role of Bilbo Baggins will be played by none other than Martin Freeman. The film is actually based on a book by J.R.R. Tolkein published in 1937. “The Hobbit, or There and Back Again” became very popular and is regarded as a classic in Children’s literature.
The story is about the journey of the Hobbit Bilbo Baggins who wants to win a share of the treasure being guarded by the dragon, Smaug. The story brings out the concept of personal growth and heroism. As Bilbo Baggins journeys on he develops more maturity, competence and wisdom. The climax of the story is in the “battle of five armies” when dwarves, men and elves come together to fight an army of goblins and Wargs. The film will be supposedly following this storyline as it claims to be based on the book.
One can expect a lot of tension and drama along with some grand special effects and good camera work. Though it is too early to give any opinion on the upcoming film. Graham McTavish has other projects up his sleeve as well. He will be reportedly starring in the much awaited sequel of “The Wicker Man” named “The Wicker Tree”. Hobbit will be produced by Warner Bros.
