Oh Yeah!




Word around the campfire is: Guillermo Del Toro is seriously considering using Tom Waits in The Hobbit. Probably not as Bilbo Baggins, or Gollum, no, no. The rumor mill is all aflame with the non-fact that Mr. Waits will be voicing Smaug, the dragon (as in big, flying,  fire breathing lizard) Antagonist in J.R.R Tolkiens' prequel to the Lord of the Rings. OK, kittens and cats, let's put this thing in perspective. First, we've got Peter Jackson, producing and co-writing the screenplay.Awesome. Then, we have Guillermo Del Toro, directing both movies that will become The Hobbit. (yeah, cause it's that looong) Now, add in to this boiling pot of crazy fantastic...TOM FREAKING WAITS! What is going to happen next?! Is Terry Gilliam going to jump out from behind a dumpster and offer his skills to the project as co-director...maybe Quentin Tarantino can direct the action sequences and write all the dialog...and while were at it Del Toro and say, Rob Zombie could come up with all the monsters and weird things that will come with this movie and give us all the horrible nightmare fodder we could fill our grubby little minds with, with one flick of the wrist. I mean, if were speculating here, why not make this the greatest films of all time! Let's find a spot for the Cohen Bros. and Sam Raimi...give Bruce Campbell a part...let's get this party started! I mean, with the exception of Pete Jackson and Del Toro, none of this conjecture is subjected to the banality of truth. But, we can TOTALLY MAKE THIS HAPPEN! Hop to it Hollywood, let's make me happy!
