In addition to Elijah Wood, Orlando Bloom and Cate Blanchett, another “Lord of the Rings” fave looks set to return to Middle Earth for “The Hobbit”.
The official site of actor Christopher Lee posted the following today :
Slowly but surely, Peter Jackson has managed to secure the return of the majority of the major stars from The Lord of the Rings franchise for his soon to be shooting prequel, based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit.
Sir. Christopher Lee had been in talks to reprise his role as the wizard Saruman and it now looks certain, providing that he is in good health, that he will be appearing in the movie.
Meanwhile, Movieweb reports a rumour that one-time whispered Bilbo Baggins candidate David Tennant (“Doctor Who”) may be playing Thranduil the Elvenking, the father of Legolas (Bloom), in the film.
