Yesterday we reported that the casting had begun this week for The Hobbit, and that Peter Jackson and his team weren’t neccessarily on the lookout for big stars. He mentioned that only Ian McKellen was returning as Gandalf, but now MTV have been told by the executive producer that there may be two more Lord of the Rings characters returning.
“There’s a couple of other characters: Elrond, who was played by Hugo Weaving [in the original films], and there’s a possibility of Galadriel, who was played by Cate Blanchett.”
Peter Jackson went on to say that they’re on target to begin filming in the previously reported first half on next year.
