Hobbit casting news

[bunnylove]

Thranduil and the replacement Fili have both been cast...

Peter Jackson has posted a note on his Facebook page announcing the recast of Fili and the much-anticipated announcement of the actor playing Thranduil! Lee Pace will be playing the Elven King Thranduil and Dean O’Gorman will be playing Fili.

Um. Excuse me while I just freak the fuck out for the moment

Dean O’Gorman will be playing Fili

Dean O'Gorman will be playing Fili

Dean O'Gorman will be playing Fili

DEAN FUCKING O'GORMAN WILL BE PLAYING FILI

GUYS, SERIOUSLY, LIKE I HAVE HAD A CRUSH ON THIS GUY SINCE I FIRST SAW HIM ON HERCULES/XENA AND THEN ON YOUNG HERCULES. WHEN I WAS 13/14/15 I USED TO DREAM THAT I WOULD BE MARRIED TO THIS GUY. YOU HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA HOW HAPPY THIS MAKES ME AND HOW FUCKING AWESOME THIS IS BECAUSE A) I'VE WATCHED PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING HE'S BEEN IN OVER THE YEARS AND SOME OF IT'S HARD TO FIND. HELL, HE WAS THE VERY FIRST ACTOR I EVER CREATED A YAHOO GROUP/CLUB FOR WHEN I FIRST CAME ON THE INTERNET.

OMFG I'M SO MUCH MORE EXCITED FOR THIS FILM YOU HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA. PETER JACKSON I LOVE YOU AND WILL HAVE AS MANY OF YOUR BABIES AS YOU WANT ME TO.











Bonus Tom Hanks FYT:


And, yeah, that's about it.



OH! Lee Pace as Thranduil... om nom nom. I like it. I was expecting them to cast someone a little older, but whatever, elves have crazy plastic surgery coverage anyway...

LEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. <3

Also, why are all of the dwarves so attractive? :\ WTH?

IKR?!?!? I think because we were so spoiled in LOTR with all teh hawt that they had to give us hot dwarves to get the women (and some men) to come see the film (not saying all women are that shallow, but it sure doesn't hurt).

I think we are going to be MAJORLY SPOILED in this film. :3 :3 GAH. I cannot wait. This is going to be EPIC. :D :D :D

Honestly can't say I'm thrilled about Lee Pace, he makes me want to vomit. But yay on Dean O’Gorman! :)

I'm so thrilled he'll be in it; that makes the movie that much more exciting to see.
