MGM, New Line Cinema, and WingNut Films are currently in production on J.R.R. Tolkien’s "The Hobbit". The film's extras casting directors are hiring general background actors, photo doubles, and stand-ins for the film's stars throughout filming, which will continue into late spring, 2012. Some smaller speaking roles will also be cast during the shoot as script changes occur.

Principal actor casting news continues to come in, as Peter Jackson announced on May 26, 2011 that Orlando Bloom, who portrayed Legolas in "The Lord of the Rings trilogy", is the newest actor to be cast in "The Hobbit". The budget for both part 1 and 2 is estimated to be between $300 – $500 million.
