You're aware that threads like this could lead to a remake of Lord of the Rings set in New York City starring Justin Bieber as Frodo, Eddie Murphy as Sam, Keanu Reeves as Gandalf (whoa...), Kim Kardashian as Elronda (plot variation), Danny DeVito as Gollum, Chris Tucker as Aragorn, Sylvester Stallone as Legolas, Rosie O'Donnel as Gimli, and a glazed donut as the Eye of Sauron, right? Once an idea bounces around in the vacuum inside a studio executive's head for a while, it's pretty deformed by the time you get it out. We may be better off avoiding putting the idea for more remakes in their decorative and completely non-functional little skulls.
On the positive side, they could have made a worse choice than Arnold Schwarzenegger for the aging Bilbo. I'm just not sure how...
