Confirmed Cast So Far

That's about as cruel as it gets

On another forum where I'm a mod, I told everyone that New Line had contacted me saying they were trying to find fans from the most dedicated forums who New Line would fly to New Zealand to be extras in The Hobbit as a special opportunity since it's borderline impossible for foreign fans to be extras in NZ. I invited people to express interest saying I would send a list of names to the studio. The thread went about five or six hours before someone pointed out the date.

No, in school someone told me 2011 a leap year and March has 32 days, so I'd miss 4/1. Boy, some people can be so immature- boys usually!

You can't trust any news today...have fifa & uefa really banned Bosnia-Hercegovina? Could rangers go banktrupt? ( I have sports news on the radio), Did Defecating dog sparks US shootout... who knows, who knows!

And Eldorion, that's really really mean! I though mature and resectable people were supposed to become mods... :p

Problem here with this film is that real news and April Fools news are both as ludicrous and unthinkable as each other. How can you tell?

Think I will try that drinking myself to death idea Ringdrotten!

That one actually is real, it hit the news a few days ago.

I'm allowed at least one day off from that, aren't I?

I know, it's in the weird & wonderful section of the bbc website, I visit it quite frequently!

For me, the saddest April fools joke is people thinking that, today is the only one day, which we give over to lying to each other!

"today is the only one day, which we give over to lying to each other!" _ally

What are you implying Ally? Scurrilous that is, scurrilous.

"Variety Confirmation: Figwit, aka Bret McKenzie, will play Lindir


The Dominion Post had an article about Bret McKenzie’s (Figwit) involvement with The Hobbit last week, and Variety has confirmed it. Bret will play the elf of Rivendell, Lindir. You might say, “Who?” Well, if you recall your the ‘Many Meetings’ chapter of The Fellowship of the Ring, Lindir is one of the elves who enjoys Bilbo’s song so much, he asks for a second hearing…

`Now we had better have it again,’ said an Elf. Bilbo got up and bowed. `I am flattered, Lindir,’ he said. ‘But itwould be too tiring to repeat it all.’ ‘Not too tiring for you,’ the Elves answered laughing. ‘You know you are never tired of reciting your own verses. But really we cannot answer your question at one hearing!’

`What!’ cried Bilbo. ‘You can’t tell which parts were mine, and which were the Dunadan’s?’

‘It is not easy for us to tell the difference between two mortals’ said the Elf.

‘Nonsense, Lindir,’ snorted Bilbo. ‘If you can’t distinguish between a Man and a Hobbit, your judgement is poorer than I imagined. They’re as different as peas and apples.’

‘Maybe. To sheep other sheep no doubt appear different,’ laughed Lindir. `Or to shepherds. But Mortals have not been our study. We have other business.’

It’s pretty nice to finally have an official character name associated with Bret’s character, but I think we are going to always lovingly call him Figwit."

Trying to think if beyond calling out and singing there are any speaking parts for elves at Rivendell when Bilbo is there? Cant think of any off hand?

Fear not! Peter Jackson can think of many

Isn't it great to see TORn live up to their usual standards of journalistic integrity and insert stuff into their reporting that has absolutely no mention in the original article? Variety didn't say that Lindir was Figwit's "real" name, and while it's possible that they're supposed to be the same character, that's still an assumption.

Fear not! Peter Jackson can think of many

So very true!!!!!! I wonder what he himself will cameo as this time... probably a dwarf.

Guys...why a cameo? Personally I feel he's a good enough actor (remember he played the bus driver in the long and the thick of it) to have a main role. Maybe he should create a character, an elf maybe, and play it himself! That would be great!

Stop this unfettered silliness now! You are making me crabbit.

I believe the word is negative

Ha! I know whether I am *#!* crabbit or not young Squach!

*#*!????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
?????????????????????????

I was only trying to be funny!
Noww i am all confuddled


THANKS A LOT!!!

I like to share the crabbitness!

NEGATIVITY!!!

Now, now young Squach crabbitness is NOT negativity, although the two could be confused by the layman, or the young or the English (and I think you are at least 2 of them!) crabbitness is an ancient art form Squach, it ultimate purpose is to bring about good by not putting up with the shoddy- although who wants permanent good anyway? That would make me crabbit!

I think I am about ready to bite your head off then make you eat it. Not that you would have a mouth left. Or even be alive.

Now THAT'S crabbit. Well done Squach- I'm sure Kafria will thank me for your mood tonight.

Orlando Bloom Confirms His Involvement In The Hobbit

In an exclusive interview with Collider.com, Orlando Bloom confirms he’s been in talks to return as Legolas in Peter Jackson’s upcoming Hobbit films.

Excerpts from the interview follow:

Collider: Are you going to appear in The Hobbit?

Bloom: Yeah, it’s looking like that. I’m really excited about going to see Pete [Jackson] again. It’s still a little up in the air, but the idea of working with Pete is fantastic. I can’t actually really talk too much about it, at this point. I just was given the script to piece through, so it’s quite exciting.

Collider: The whole script?

Bloom: Yeah!

Collider: Will you have to do anything to physically prepare for that role again?

Bloom: Are you telling me that I’ve put on weight, in the last 10 years? I just have to grow my hair really long and blonde again.

Collider: Isn’t he a younger version?

Bloom: Yeah.
