Gah! Fili has just left The Hobbit?! Good lord, haven't we had enough bad news? I mean, I'm sure this isn't going to stop production, but WTF, universe?!
From here:
Robert 'Fili' Kazinsky Leaving The Hobbit Due To Personal Reasons.
Robert Kazinsky seemed like a pretty great choice, and I wish him well, but may this be like Stuart Townsend and not end with a bad second choice. (And as much as I hope everything turns out well for Kazinsky, let this truly be personal reasons, and not "personal reasons," you know?)
