Sly up for The Hobbit

Makes sense - if McKellan is back as Gandalf, then McCoy as Radegast has the advantage that they know and like each other, having worked togther before (King Lear).
 
I looked at the title, and was trying to think how and why Sly Stallone would be up for the The Hobbit...
 
Cool. Wasn't he in the running to play Bilbo in LOTR?
Yes, he was. As much as I love Ian Holm as Bilbo, I can't help but wonder what Sly would have been like.

I certainly hope he gets a role in The Hobbit.
 
Seen as he seems to have said he's not doing Bilbo (I hope they don't get some young wippet like Tennant) and he says he's up for a fairly big role am I the only one thinking Thorin? After all we all know Dwarves are scottish

I think Sylvestor McCoy's voice would be a a bit too high for Thorin...
 
I think he would make a great evil wizard..

still can't believe he isn't playing the younger bilbo.. he would fit the part..

shoot, I am still amazed McKellan was the black guardian!

Huh? Valentine Dyall played the Black Guardian.
 
wow I would DEFINITELY go to see the Hobbit with Sylvester McCoy in!!! Love the guy!
 
Got my fingers crossed here.

Wow, is that a current photo in the article? Doesn't look like hes aged a bit since his DW days.
 
No, I don't think it is. There was a photo of him in last month's Vortex (the Big Finish mini-magazine) where he looked a bit older. Plus he's been sporting an ugly mustache as of late.
