Fans of Orlando Bloom were given some news on Friday. The Hobbit's official Facebook page reported on Friday that Orlando Bloom had officially signed on to join the film in the role of Legolas. The Hobbit will hit theaters in Scottsdale in 2012. The Facebook post said the following:
Director Peter Jackson has confirmed that Orlando Bloom will reprise the role of the Legolas—the role he played in “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy—in the epic two-part screen adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit,” now filming in New Zealand.
Orlando Bloom had been asked to reprise his role in the film since before production started on the film in March. The hold out was said to be due to how much Bloom was to be paid for the appearance. It has not yet been revealed what his character will be doing in the two Hobbit films yet. That information should come in the days and weeks to come.
Fans are already buzzing about the return of Orlando Bloom to his role of Legolas. Here are just some of the comments made on Twitter since the news was released earlier today:
