From huffingtonpost.com: The Lonely Island team premiered a new SNL digital short last night called “On the Ground,” which featured Andy Samberg throwing increasingly ridiculous things…on the ground. Host Ryan Reynolds, along with surprise guest Elijah Wood, got in on the fun by tasing the comedian after he threw their dinner on the ground.

Jan alerted us to an ongoing poll at film.com: The Best Male Performance of the ’00s. It’s down to the ‘Elite 8,’ two of whom are non other than Elijah Wood, for his role as Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings vs. Johnny Depp, for his role as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

Elijah Wood first broke into movies at the age of 7 as “Video Game Boy” in 1989’s ‘Back to the Future: Part II’ and quickly shot to stardom with leading roles in ‘Paradise,’ ‘Forever Young’ (with Mel Gibson) and ‘The Good Son’ (opposite fellow child star Macaulay Culkin).

But while the careers of so many young actors — including a certain ‘Son’ co-star — peter out as they hit that rocky patch known as puberty, Wood’s began to thrive. He bolstered his indie cred with Ang Lee’s ‘The Ice Storm,’ headlined one of the most successful franchises in movie history with his turn as Frodo Baggins in ‘The Lord of the Rings’ trilogy and voiced the lead penguin in $197 mil-grossing 2006 animated flick ‘Happy Feet.’ More..

Elijah Wood visited The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien to promote his new film ‘9′ and spoke a bit about Comic-Con, the ‘Hobbits,’ Yo Gabba Gabba, being mistaken with Harry Potter and more!

From hollywoodoutbreak.com:LORD OF THE RINGS star ELIJAH WOOD may have moved on to other things (like the animated sci-fi film 9) but he’s still keeping an eye on Middle Earth. We spoke to WOOD recently about what he’s been up to and he talked about how much he’s looking forward to the PETER JACKSON/GUILLERMO del TORO collab on THE HOBBIT. More..

The plan was to be impartial and emotionless in the printed word and provide interested parties (hopefully you dear reader) all the facts and information from Peter Jackson’s un-press conference in San Diego as possible.

After all, he had 40 or so of us delighted to be trapped in a room with him in a small but luxurious hotel a few hundred meters from the convention center where the world’s biggest celebration of popular culture was taking place. It was the end of the first day of the four-day event and Jackson had swooped into town, showed off his first ever public screening of “District 9,” and then convened Geek Court.

From ifmagazine.com: While sitting on the panel at San Diego Comic Con for 9, Elijah Wood was asked about THE HOBBIT. While he says he didn’t have any idea if he is involved in the production. A visit to the set was not something he was missing out on.

“I definitely planning on visiting [set of THE HOBBIT]. Because there are so many people from LORD OF THE RINGS that are going to be a part of it,” Wood says. “While I am not a part of it, I will go down to see them. I’m so glad that Guillermo [del Toro] is doing it. He’s perfect. If it is not Pete, he should be the one.” More..
