Ian McKellen has read THE HOBBIT Script
GeekTyrant —
... famous character, and I quite like having him around the corner. He’s very popular.
Now that the script is finished and McKellen has read it, I’m sure there are other actors out there that have read it as well. Actors that possibly may end up playing Bilbo Baggins. I honestly can’t wait to see who they are going to cast for that role. We have such a long time before these Hobbit films come out but at least we know they are coming.

... Earth; while he's always been happy to chat about the upcoming movie this press tour has him having actually seen the script. And liking it.

Ian McKellen Has Read The Hobbit Script
Screen Rant —
... script has surfaced (or at least a draft of it) and lucky Sir McKellen has apparently had a read of it. However, it’s early days yet for the film (Part 1 doesn’t come out until the end of 2011), and sadly but not surprisingly, McKellen is staying tight-lipped about what’s in the script.

... lent the world of elves and dwarves and humans and hobbits a massive amount of thespian gravitas. And now, it seems at least according to Sci-Fi Wire McKellen has read the scripts that will eventually constitute the two halves of del Toro's vision of The Hobbit . "There are a lot of characters in The Hobbit , including, crucially, Bilbo, and they don't know who's going to play Bilbo. So it's extremely attractive that this part has been written for me. The other Gandalf was written for, well, just as Gandalf. There's lots for me to enjoy, in all sorts of ways. And I ...

Here is the rest of his report as told by Sci-Fi Wire: ...
