The Hollywood Reporter revealed on Tuesday that Blanchett would once again be Galadriel; then a day later Deadline reported that Bloom is close to a deal to return to play Legolas. What neither story discussed is that Jackson is apparently writing the characters into the story of "The Hobbit": Galadriel is mentioned in other Tolkien works but doesn't appear in "The Hobbit," and as for Legolas, he first shows up in "The Fellowship of the Ring." And according to Deadline's story about the Bloom casting news, Legolas will be more than a walk-on role. Likewise, considering how gushing Jackson was in announcing Blanchett's involvement, calling her "one of my favorite actors to work with," it seems like she might be doing more than a cameo as well.

So...I'd guess that Legolas gets to kill Smaug instead of the guy who actually did. The bird will whisper in the wrong ear

I already don't care about this movie. I cared about 5 years ago, but now, after so many movies ruined things for me, not even Jackson can raise my lowered expectations

They got Gandalf back.

Wow, they start filming next month. That's news.

Too bad they're planning 18months of filming......

I dont remember Frodo in the books, but elijah wood is in the cast

Supposedly Frodo will only be in the opening sequence, where The Hobbit story is being told to him.

The girl from The Lovely Bones has been added to the cast:

Also, it seems Peter Jackson's physical condition is delaying the start of filming.

I like Ronan. Good for her.

Also, she looks sort of cute in that picture. No pedo.

Legolam in The Hobbit? Is that like a tiger in Africa? Someone needs to film this book.

Evangeline Lilly has been added to the cast as the wood elf Tauriel, a newly-created character. I wonder how much significance/purpose (or lack thereof) her character will have, but either way I'm not complaining. She definitely has the looks to be an elf, much like Liv Tyler.

He's a first look at the great Thorin Oakenshield:
