stuff.co.nz is saying that Hobbit spokesperson Melissa Booth has confirmed that Hugo Weaving is back as Elrond!
“Hugo Weaving will reprise his role as Elrond the elf for the two-part Hobbit movie now being shot in Wellington. The Hobbit spokeswoman Melissa Booth confirmed that Weaving would feature in Jackson’s 3-D prequel to The Lord of the Rings trilogy.”
The news nugget was buried in another story about the casting of Dean O’Gorman and Lee Pace. Take a look!
Rob Kazinsky, who was cast initially in the role of Fili but who had to walk away from The Hobbit last week due to health issues, was today replaced by New Zealand actor Dean O’Gorman.
On his Twitter page, Rob has tweeted a few words for Dean. He says:
Would like to wish Dean O’Gorman the very best on the incredible journey he’s about to join, great actor will do a great job.
How very classy of Rob to do so, don’t you think?
Rob and Dean, we on TheOneRing.net wish YOU BOTH all the very best!
