Peter Jackson Has Confirmed Ian Holm Will Play Older Bilbo In 'The Hobbit'

Peter Jackson has confirmed, via his Facebook page that Sir Ian Holm will definitely be back as the older Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit. It is not clear exactly in what capacity, though, as the younger Bilbo will be played by Martin Freeman for the majority of the film. Perhaps we will meet the older Bilbo at the beginning, and the story will be told as a flashback?

The Hobbit is currently filming in New Zealand, though they are taking a short Easter break (Jackson has said that the script is being tweaked during their time off).
