A new gig for new dad Orlando Bloom. On Friday, lensman Peter Jackson announced that the newlywed British hottie has been tipped to join the cast of The Hobbit.
Bloom is set to reprise his role as butt-kickin? elf Legolas (which he originated in the Lord of the Rings trilogy) in Jackson?s adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkein?s award-winning 1937 fantasy novel of the same name. In an annoucement uploaded via his Facebook page on Friday, Jackson said he?s thrilled to once again work with Orlando. Bloom?s been largely absent from the big screen since appearing alongside Keira Knightley and Johnny Depp in 2007?s Pirates of the Caribbean: At World?s End.
?Ten years ago, Orlando Bloom created an iconic character with his portrayal of Legolas. I?m excited to announce today that we?ll be revisiting Middle Earth with him once more,? Jackson wrote. ?I?m thrilled to be working with Orlando again. Funny thing is, I look older ? and he doesn?t! I guess that?s why he makes such a wonderful elf.?
