Martin Freeman..maybe. According to Entertainment Weekly it could well be, as they say “according to sources close to the Hobbit production, it’s not over yet. New Line and MGM, the studios backing the Hobbit films, have since come back to Freeman with a proposed schedule that would allow him to shoot both projects. All parties are currently negotiating a deal.”
Originally a piece (I missed) in The Sun appeared yesterday saying Freeman had to decline a seven figure pay check due to his commitment to shoot Sherlock for the BBC. But as mentioned above, that may not have been completely correct. What? Something that might not be true? In The Sun? Fuck off!
