Lee Pace cast in THE HOBBIT!
This just came up on my Twitter feed, but it is nevertheless EXTREMELY EXCITING, especially if there are any LotR/Hobbit fans out there!
Lee Pace has been cast in Peter Jackson's adaptation of The Hobbit as the Elven King Thranduil.
What Peter Jackson had to say about the casting on Facebook (linked below):
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.
