Lee Pace is playing Thranduil in The Hobbit!!! I love Lee Pace because of The Fall. This should be pretty excellent. Even if he is playing a stupid elf. I guess that's the role David Tennant was rumored for, wasn't it? Despite how great it would've been to have two Doctors in one movie this casting choice is just as good I'd say.
Peter Jackson on the casting, from the link:
"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."
EEEEeee, now I'm just all kinds of fangirly cuz he wanted to cast him because of his work in The Fall.
Please excuse me while I squee over in this corner.
