Peeder Jigson is a wee bit upset, seems Empire Magazine’s recent coverage of The Hobbit has caught him a bit by surprise, he doesn’t recognize any of the people he has supposedly cast! Plus, he can’t eat his chips.

Richard Armitage has spoken exclusively to Total Film about his role in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit and he makes some interesting comments!
We recently sat down with the British actor to talk about his role as dwarf Thorin Oakenshield in the two-part Tolkien epic, and he told us: “There’s going to be quite a lot more humour.
“The book is so focused on the dwarves, so I think it’s a chance for Peter [Jackson] and Fran [Walsh] to really look at that whole race in more detail, their heritage and what they’re like as characters.”

From the NZPA: The Council of Trade Unions will seek legal advice on challenging an Ombudsman’s rejection of its bid to get a copy of the Crown Law opinion on last year’s industrial dispute over the filming of The Hobbit. In a final decision, Ombudsman David McGee rejected appeals from the CTU and Radio New Zealand and said the legal opinion should remain secret, Radio New Zealand reported. Last year, the Government said the Crown Law opinion confirmed that by law, film producers could not enter into union-negotiated agreements with actors who were independent contractors.
NYMag.com has a new interview up with Elijah Wood who’ll be reprising his role as Frodo in The Hobbit, and perhaps the most interesting bit is his response to the question about when he’ll be going down to New Zealand to shoot his scenes.
Here’s what Elijah said:
October. I’m going to the U.K. first to do some shooting, but then I’m going down in October for the New Zealand part.
Not to jump to any conclusions, but does this potentially mean Sir Christopher Lee will be shooting his scenes in the UK this October? Discuss over at our message boards. The entire interview can be found over at NYMag.com.
Thanks to Ringer spy Patrick for the heads-up.

London, Jun 28 (PTI) Actor Elijah Wood feels he”s heading to a “family reunion” as he prepares to film a cameo for ”The Hobbit”.
The 30-year-old actor will be seen in a small role in the film and he feels at home on the sets because he grew so close to many of the cast and crew during his ”Lord Of The Rings” days.
“It feels like a family reunion that I”m going back for. A number of the cast members are coming back. I went back (to New Zealand) a year ago in February just to visit. I was down in Australia, so I went over for nine days and caught up with a bunch of people. It was wild, man, to be back in that whirlwind, see all those people, but working in Middle Earth again. It was really cool to be back there, and I feel like it”s going to feel the same. More..
