Top 50 Performances of the Decade (Male)

14 hours ago | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

They aren't ranked. Deal with it. I must thank these 47 actors again (three performers have two entries) one last time for delivering such indelible characterizations these past ten years. Bid them adieu before moving on to a fresh decade, the Teens. You may notice that this list includes no 2009 performances. It's too early! I don't wanna give away my upcoming nominees and I still need time to let the year settle. My dozen favorites are selected rather impulsively in red. And with "best/favorites" it's always subject to change with the passing of time... or moods.

Calling All Shire-Folk – Casting Call For The Hobbit

4 January 2010 5:29 PM, PST | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »

With the lawsuits, the trouble at New Line Cinema last year and the well publicized financial collapse of MGM seemingly imminent, you would be forgiven for thinking that the long awaiting big screen adaptation of The Hobbit was never going to get off of the ground. However it seems that the prequel to the popular Lord of the Rings series is very much alive and well, and we’ve seen the casting call to prove it!

To date only three of the Lord of the Rings cast have been confirmed for the two prequel movies, to be directed by none other than “Pan’s Labyrinth” genius, Guillermo Del Toro, and they are of course Sir Ian McKellen as Gandalf the Grey, Hugo Weaving as Elrond and Andy Serkis as the love him/hate him, Gollum.

As such, much of the primary cast has yet to be signed, and Spoiler TV »

Casting Info for The Hobbit Revealed

4 January 2010 3:56 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Want to play the bravest little hobbit of them all in the big-screen adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit? Well, now is your chance as Spoiler TV has revealed the official casting call for the upcoming two-part film directed by Guillermo Del Toro and executive produced by Sir Peter Jackson.

Despite initially being plagued by hardships, lawsuits and corporate shenanigans, production of The Hobbit continues full steam with actor Ian McKellen already signed on to reprise his role of Gandalf from Jackson’s award-winning Lord of the Rings trilogy. Fellow Rings cast members Hugo Weaving and Andy Serkis will also return as Elrond and Gollum, respectively. Still missing, however, is the lead role of Bilbo Baggins and pretty much everyone else. But with the casting call now out, Del Toro just might stay on schedule and achieve the current release date of December 2011 for part one, with part two »
