Sir Ian McKellen has confirmed the long-rumored return of Hugo Weaving as Lord Elrond in THE HOBBIT. McKellen took to his blog to break the news:
Martin Freeman has left The Hobbit. This is not another April Fool, just a May Fact. Before signing as Bilbo, Martin had agreed to make three 90-minute TV films in London, again playing Dr Watson to Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock Holmes. No worries: he’ll be back in Middle Earth after our first hiatus, during which Peter Jackson will have spare time to edit the scenes already completed. The rest of the cast remains on duty for another few weeks, working on hobbit-less sections of the film. These involve dwarves of course but also elves, with Hugo Weaving back for a stretch as Lord Elrond.
Peter Jackson and the rest of the cast and crew of THE HOBBIT continue to shoot in New Zealand.
