We reported
here last week that director Guillermo del Toro confirmed that Hugo Weaving will reunite with Andy Serkis and Ian McKellen in
The Hobbit in their roles originated in
The Lord of the Rings trilogy." Well according to
Moviehole, this is news to not just you, but also to Weaving!
Weaving said he's interested in returning as Elrond, but that he isn't officially on board, because he hasn't been spoken to yet.
"I knew that if and when it happened I'd get a call and we'd chat about it, but I haven't spoken to anyone about it. Someone said to me 'I hear you're doing the Hobbit?' I said 'Well, um, probably', they said "No, no. you've signed on'. I haven't actually talked to anyone about it. Doesn't mean I won't be doing it, [I'm] just not onboard yet."
The Hobbit is scheduled to be released in December of 2011, while
The Hobbit Sequel will be released in December of 2012.
