I wonder how much the Ted Nasmith painting of Luthien riding Huan will get at the auction? I would love to have it, but the price (half-mil?) that it is going for will "probably" be out of my range.

It's Hugo Weaving (Elrond), who hasn't been confirmed to be involved with the production yet.

From PJ's Facebook page:

I'm very pleased to be welcoming two new cast members to our team.

Dean O'Gorman will be playing Fili. Dean's a terrific Kiwi actor, who I am thrilled to be working with. He's recently been in an excellent TV series down here called "The Almighty Johnsons", and I should let fans of that show know that our shooting schedule allows Dean to continue with a second series next year. Dean will be joining us next week.

I'm also pleased to announce that Lee Pace will be playing the Elven King Thranduil. Casting these Tolkien stories is very difficult, especially the Elven characters, and Lee has always been our first choice for Thranduil. He's going to be great. We loved his performance in a movie called "The Fall" a few years ago, and have been hoping to work with him since. When we were first discussing who would be right for Thranduil, Lee came into mind almost immediately.

It's been a great week, and I'm looking forward to the next few. It's going to be interesting...

More soon.

Cheers,

Peter J

I wouldn't call you that. I wouldn't call you an ignoramus either.

Thanks for that Walts Ghost! That made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!

Edit: By the way, this is an ignorantimus:

Possibly

I thought an ignorantimus sounded like a type of dinosaur(maybe I should've said "Ignorantimus Rex"). I googled "retarded dinosaur", and that showed up under images.

By the way Mahatma, I'm not trying to be an ass to you at all buddy, I just thought that was really funny!

Anyway, back on topic, I am feeling less nervous about PJ screwing up The Hobbit than I did a few months ago. I think confirming the return of most of the key actors from LOTR that actually belong in The Hobbit, and that wonderful production video have eased my worries.

It's only about 19 months away!

I googled "ignorantimus" and came up a few hits about Don Imus: "ignorant Imus".

That sounds about right! The Women's Basketball Hall of Fame is just a few miles from my house, whatever that means.

I know this isn't the right thread for this, but:

Great pic. I always thought Lucas was trying to be funny by calling that character "Porkins".

Hugo Weaving confirmed to reprise roll as Elrond (via Stuff NZ)

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost to Make Cameo in The Hobbit? (via TORN)

I'm excited about the first bit of news, but scared s***less about the second. I just keep imaginig them showing up in character but in elvish costumes.

Since they seem to be recruiting a host of "guest stars" for obscure roles, they might consider Gilbert Gottfried and Pee-Wee Herman to play some of Beorn's animals. Speaking of which, does anyone know if the actors playing the Trolls have been selected?

frogmort · 05-02-2011, 10:50 PM

I really like Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, but I really can't see them being in The Hobbit. It seems like it would take me out of the moment.
Maybe they will just be a couple of orcs. I guess that would be okay.

I'd imagine it would be something like that. I mean, Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright cameoed in Land of the Dead as Zombies, and Simon Pegg was also the voice of a reporter in Diary of the Dead. He's not past doing small things like that.

Gilbert could do the voice of Beorn's talking duck, since until recently he was the Aflac duck.

Jackson is just the one to keep him employed!
