However, they could possibly use digital de-aging, like how they applied it to Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen at the beginning of X3. I don't know how expensive this would be to apply it to the main character over the course of two films, however.

By the way, that song is on an album that also includes "Highly Illogical", which is a song he does as Spock, singing about women and dating.
It's hilarious.

I really think Raimi is the perfect fit, especially since Jackson is producing. I bet the average person won't even know. I feel Raimi will be completely respectful to Jackson's work, besides I'm sure Jackson would just cut out the shit he doesn't like.

He sounds open to the idea, to say the least...

EW.com has asked Guillermo del Toro the all important ‘Hobbit’ question, and his answer has this ‘del Toro’ fan pretty excited: “You know, I think I’ve been abroad too long. I’ve heard some rumblings, but nothing official. I don’t want to think about it because it’s such an eventuality. It’s the only Tolkien book I read. I tried my best to read Lord of the Rings, the trilogy. I could not. I could not. They were very dense. And then one day, I bought The Hobbit. I read it and I loved it. So it would be a privilege. But listen, I wish I knew. At this stage, after Hellboy II, I’m unemployed. [Laughs]

Here's another vote for del Toro. Sam Raimi jumped the shark with Spiderman 3. He needs to find a project a little closer to home and re-establish himself with that, before he helms something as big as the Hobbit.

Sam Raimi was just confirmed on doing a horror film (directing), so The Hobbit may not happen for him...

And Raimi's new horror movie will be a quickie (script was written 15 years ago, and due to the strike, can't be re-written). He'll should finish it in plenty of time should he decide to do Hobbit.
