Hugo Weaving Joins The Hobbit Cast

Awesome to see him in this!

Ian McKellen has posted the following on his blog about Hugo Weaving reprising his role as Lord Elrond for the upcoming Hobbit movie.



Martin Freeman has left The Hobbit.



This is not another April Fool, just a May Fact. Before signing as Bilbo, Martin had agreed to make three 90-minute TV films in London, again playing Dr Watson to Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock Holmes. No worries: he'll be back in Middle Earth after our first hiatus, during which Peter Jackson will have spare time to edit the scenes already completed. The rest of the cast remains on duty for another few weeks, working on hobbit-less sections of the film. These involve dwarves of course but also elves, with Hugo Weaving back for a stretch as Lord Elrond.

Is that film ever going to be finished?

No idea to be honest. Last I knew before this, the director got re-placed or something.

I would love to see this IF it ever gets done!
