peter jackson reveals new hobbit casting deets

Last we heard about Hobbit casting, it was looking like Orlando Bloom would most likely return as Legolas.

While there still hasn't been any 100% confirmation of Orly's involvement, Peter Jackson has revealed some new Hobbit casting deets via Facebook, which are as follows:

- Hercules: The Legendary Journeys actor Dean O'Gorman will replace Rob Kazinsky in the role of Fili

- Breaking Dawn's Lee Pace will star as Elvin King Thranduil (Legolas' father)

- Lord of the Rings alum Hugo Weaving will return as Elrond

So exciting! We're seriously pumped to hear that Peter Jackson has been able to get nearly all of the LOTR cast to return!

All we need is some confirmation on Orlando Bloom and we'll be absolutely ecstatic!

What do U think of these new casting deets?

    I'm sorry… "'Breaking Dawn's' Lee Pace"? Have you forgotten Pushing Daisies or The Fall? He's way more known for those! He's a nobody in Breaking Dawn!

    Re: mlewrenn – A+! Exactly what I was going to say.

    Why the hell is he shoehorning Legolas in? I get the feeling this is going to be the prequels all over again
