OFFICIAL: YOUR QUEEN CATE IS BACK + other casting news
TORn just posted an official announcement about more names that have now been added to the Hobbit cast. And this is the most significant news since New Zealand was confirmed to be back as Middle-earth: Cate Blanchett will reprise her role as Galadriel.
Other confirmed roles:
Ken Stott - Balin
Sylvester McCoy - Radagast the Brown
Mikael Persbrandt - Beorn
Ryan Gage - Drogo Baggins
Jed Brophy - Nori (yes our own Sharku/Snaga!)
William Kircher - Bifur
Also between this one and the first casting announcement two other dwarves were announced:
Adam Brown - Ori
James Nesbitt - Bofur
This completes the set of dwarves you folks!
ROLES STILL PENDING ANNOUNCEMENT/CONFIRMATION:
Gandalf the Grey
Thranduil
Bard
Master of Laketown
Voice of Smaug
Gollum
Tom, Bert & Bill
Elrond
Lobelia Sackville-Baggins (Elizabeth Moody sadly passed away earlier this year)
Saruman
a bunch of orcs
That's right. You'll all have to continue suffering from my biased way of posting news unless you do it yourselves. I think there's a way to do this without so much emphasis on Cate, but I don't know how to do that.
