Hobbit Casting

Is that some kind of Hobbit joke?

"come up short"

I just caught the tail-end of Something for the Weekend on BBC2. Andy Serkis was one of the guests, and he said that although he hadn't signed anything yet it was "almost certain" that he'd be playing Gollum in the new movies. Apparently he's been to New Zealand to talk about the movies with Peter Jackson and seen some of the ideas so far.

Yeah, I would think he would be a lock for the part. It would be weird if he didn't get it and someone else tried to do Gollum.
