Tobey Maguire is not Bilbo… for now

Tobey Maguire has silenced all rumors and has told Movieline that he is not in discussions to play Bilbo Baggins in the upcoming “The Hobbit.” However, Maguire stated that he is interested in the part should it arrive. Currently he is in talks with director Guillermo del Toro and Peter Jackson to play the part. Maguire stated, “I don’t know if something got misconstrued or miscommunicated but the source was not accurate at all. I love Guillermo del Toro and Peter Jackson, and I certainly wouldn’t take myself out of the conversation … if I was part of it. But I haven’t read a script or talked to anybody about it.”
