I would like Beorn to look like this

Gandalf and Galadriel were in the Grey Havens scene, but they may not have been on the set at the same time.But seeing Ian get excited over filming with Blanchett reminded me that Gandalf and Galadriel didn't have a scene together in LoTR. That'll be great to see.

What roles would you most like to play?
Richard II, Oswald in Ghosts, Smaug in The Hobbit...!
Nimoy is just a rumor. A rumor from imdb. Never was it mentioned by deadline or any noted sites.

Two workers have been burned in an explosion inside the studios where The Hobbit is being filmed.
Emergency services were called to Stone Street Studios, which is co-owned by director and producer Peter Jackson, after the explosion around 11:20am.
Wellington Free Ambulance spokesman Ross Cameron said initial reports showed gases inside a sculpture being constructed had ignited.
A 25-year-old man suffered superficial facial burns and another patient had burns to their hands, he said.
Ambulance staff treated both at the scene and transported them to hospital - though their injuries were thought to be minor.
A Fire Service spokesman said there was no fire at the studios when firefighters arrived.
The Hobbit unit publicist Ceris Price said calling the incident an explosion was a "slight overstatement".
The incident happened in one of the workshops when "a couple of the guys" were drilling a statue, Ms Price said.
The pair were left with "mild burns but nothing serious" and were taken to hospital as a precaution, she said.
"One of them had some burnt nostril hairs and, apparently if that's the case, there is always the risk of inhalation so they get checked out."
She said no fire was caused by the incident.
Stone Street Studios was used in the production of Lord of the Rings and King Kong and is currently being used as a set for The Hobbit.

British actor Benedict Cumberbatch is set to reteam with his Sherlock co-star Martin Freeman after landing a role in upcoming Lord of the Rings prequel The Hobbit.
Freeman, who will star as Bilbo Baggins in the two-part fantasy film, accidentally revealed the casting news backstage at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) TV Awards on Sunday.
Early reports suggest Cumberbatch will voice the dragon character Smaug but the actor refused to specify his role, insisting, "I can't say at the moment, thank you very much."
A red-faced Freeman later told reporters, "I knew I was a sort of a big mouth but I didn't realise to what extent I was a big mouth, and I've just ruined everything. I might not actually go back to a job - they might have just sacked (fired) me."
Cumberbatch plays Sherlock Holmes opposite Freeman as Dr Watson in a TV adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary sleuth stories. The duo picked up the Best Drama Series prize for the show at the BAFTA TV Awards.
