Peter Confirms Orlando Bloom joining ‘The Hobbit’

May 27th, 2011 by newsfrombree
Direct from Peter Jackson…


Ten years ago, Orlando Bloom created an iconic character with his portrayal of Legolas. I’m excited to announce today that we’ll be revisiting Middle Earth with him once more. I’m thrilled to be working with Orlando again. Funny thing is, I look older—and he doesn’t! I guess that’s why he makes such a wonderful elf.
So does he date a Laketown girl or an elf for romantic interests?

I wouldn't put it past them to have Legolas leaping from the pinnacle of Erebor onto Smaug's back, sticking a dagger in his eye, and sliding down his tail to land safely on the ground. Then he'll quip "Even the biggest worms have their gummy parts".

well that's funny isn't it, you do just learn something new every day don't you, I mean I thought Tolkien wrote The Lord of the Raaaaaaarhrkghchrghdeath.

Do you really think that Orlegolando Bloomleaf is the proper Legolas? He was quite a character on his own, without any help from the Professor, except for the name.

What the Leggy-bopper's quote should have said is that Bloom took Legolas, took him apart, and built his own Lego with the pieces.

TheMisfortuneTeller has just left Hobbiton.
Fathers and Sons
With his elvish gift of foresight, Legolas tells the Dwarf Gloin, "Father of Gimli, you might not believe this, but in the sequel to this tale I fall in love with your son."

Well, you have to admit it was quite amazing the amount of pathos they got from a mannequin. There was one part where I swear it almost cried real tears!

Those tears were just water. They forgot to add salt.

No actor for Bard and Orlando Bloom returning... does anybody else smell a conspiracy?

I wasn't sure about a conspiracy until I heard the title of the new movie: Hobbits of the Caribbean.

Well, as was already mentioned earlier (I believe) on this thread, Bard only appears in the second halfof the story. And who will watch a movie without Orlando Bloom in it?

This is really sad.

I had a "Tiny tears" doll that did that when I was child... it wasn't high tech.

Ang - I fully expect either Dame Helen, Dame Maggie or Dame Judi to be cast as Lobelia..
