The Tweet from Screenrush didn't say he was cast as Bilbo just that he was cast in the Hobbit. Aren't there other hobbits he could be?
You're like my fairy godmother, and Santa Claus, and Q all wrapped up into one! Q from Bond, not Star Trek.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
smonster and I went to see Inception last night with some friends and the exact same thing happened in our theater during the Devil trailer when M. Night Shyamalan's name came up! It's a nationwide phenomenon of disappointment.
We loved the movie also, and the first thing I did when I got home was look Tom Hardy up on the imdb. He was great.

Unless he just shows up in the beginning or the end, not really. About 95% of the book is spent away from the Shire, and Bilbo is the only hobbit.

There are a bunch of dwarves though.

Speaking of dwarves, I'm (finally!) watching the blu-ray of Snow White. The Evil Queen is still the best thing about the movie. Her and the Magic Mirror. The restoration is gorgeous.

I really love all the scenes of her in the dungeon mixing up her potion and mocking the skeletons of her former victims.

Tom Hardy played the young Picard clone in "Star Trek: Nemesis". He's been around for a while but lost a couple of years through substance abuse. Definitely one of the more interesting young British actors to appear in the past few years, though.
The Observer Magazine had an article on him a couple of weeks ago, though it wasn't particularly revelatory:

I guess... for a movie about dreams, it seemed a bit literal?
I totally agree with you Strega. The whole plotting was wonderfully done, but I kept thinking, "This is awfully boring for a dream." If I could control dreams and build dream worlds, it would be a nonstop Dada amusement park. At the very least some one would fly or breathe underwater.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
But it had to be boring for the Mark to believe it was real. There was also the issue of the projections turning on the architect. They were pretty explicit about that when Ellen Page was making the crazy-geometry-world.
