Hugo Weaving does some Hobbit talk

Earl on our message boards has a great find this morning as Hugo Weaving talked with Drew McWeeny about “The Hobbit” while on press duties for “The Wolfman.” His character Elrond seems a lock to be in the film and the actor is open to it as well, although he hasn’t been contacted from the film which has yet to receive the official green light.

Weaving said, “I’d be interested in doing it. I would love to work with Guillermo Del Toro very much. I think he’s a fantastic talent, a great director.” Read the rest of the story here and discuss it on our message boards.

Video: Costa Botes Interview

linuxelf writes: I’ve posted another interview, this time its with Costa Botes (he’s the one who recorded the bonus behind the scenes footage) added to the “2 Disc Lord Of The Rings Limited Editions” sets. I hope the bluray version of the EE’s will have more of his footage then the Limited Editions do. They only ever showed the ‘Fellowship of the Ring’ behind the scenes footage at a New Zealand film festival.

Craig Horner Talks ‘Hobbit’

Michael Martinez writes: I’m not sure how many of you are fans of the LEGEND OF THE SEEKER television show but I was recently given the opportunity to interview Craig Horner, star of the show, for Xenite.Org. The interview is now available online.

With ninth months of intensive shooting for Legend of the Seeker Craig doesn’t get much time to do other projects. Still, considering that he is in New Zealand, I could not help but ask: Any chance you might have a role in ‘The Hobbit’?
