CGI Bilbo? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I've heard everyone say how Ian Holm will be too old to play Bilbo when the Hobbit film gets made. But wait! What if he didn't play Bilbo in the flesh? Like in the Beowulf CGI film where 52 year old Ray Winstone voices the young, muscular Beowulf? They could use this technique to create a younger Bilbo i.e. younger image of Ian Holm, with Holm providing the voice. CGI tech advances quickly, and Gollum looks pretty tame compared to what can be done today.
