I’m going to switch to a new theme and just re-post in batches. I’d better do it soon, too, since it sounds as if the final casting of The Hobbit is going to be announced soon, which means it’ll be time to ramp up Waiting For Bilbo!

Thanks to Julie Duffy for pointing me to this article about The Hunt for Gollum, a movie which premieres this weekend at the Sci-Fi-London film festival on Sunday. It will also available free-to-view online…if anyone knows the URL, please post it – thanks!

Looks like it’s been confirmed: The Hobbit will be split into two films. Any confirmation of casting choices? Does anyone know?

However, I’ll have to convert each of the strips in Waiting For Frodo as well as uploading them to the new server, then posting them via a new Wordpress blog. To make this less tedious for me, I’ve decided to re-post one strip a day.

Unfortunately I was unable to move the comments. However, I will be posting extra commentary with each strip as I re-post it, mainly trivia about what inspired various strips and characters. Feel free to comment.

When I’ve finished uploading all the Waiting For Frodo strips, then I’ll start updating Waiting For Bilbo.

Woohoo, I saw Sean Astin live for the first time! I attended Fan Expo this year, and Sean gave an entertaining and informative Q&A; I was lucky enough to snag a seat in the front row. I waited an hour in line, chatting with Kristen:

Sean said he doesn’t know anything about The Hobbit movies other than what’s already been published. He says he’d love to be in the movie. He does say that the Gaffer would be a possible role but that he’d understand if the director preferred to ask someone who was already older (and didn’t need makeup to make him look older).

Sean has apparently bought the movie options for Lois Lowry’s book, “The Giver.” I loved this book, so am excited!

It looks as if Waiting For Bilbo is also going to be translated into Portuguese and Spanish, which I’m pretty excited about. More details soon.

Also, I’ve just created a Facebook page for Waiting For Bilbo so if you’re on Facebook, feel free to become a Fan. I’ll be posting strip updates to this page as well as some fun info, sketches of possible new characters, etc.

Feel free to add me as a Friend, but when you send your Facebook request please make sure you mention Waiting For Bilbo — I tend to ignore Friend requests of people with whom I have absolutely zero connection.
