The Twilight Saga and The Hobbit Connection

Lee Pace

I am going to use a tenuous excuse to unashamedly post on ATK about The Lord of the Rings trilogy prequel — The Hobbit. Lee Pace, who has been cast as Garrett in The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn, has also been cast in the Peter Jackson film as the elf-king Thranduil, the father of Legolas.

Orlando Bloom as Legolas

Orlando Bloom began his acting career by playing the iconic elf Legolas in the Oscar Award winning film adaptation of the books, Lord of the Rings, by JRR Tolkien. Peter Jackson recently announced that the Pirates of Caribbean star and husband to Victoria’s Secret model Miranda Kerr will reprise the role that made him famous.

The Hobbit will also bring back to Middle Earth other Lord of the Rings stars: Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins, Ian McKellen as Gandalf, Andy Serkis as Gollum and Cate Blanchett as Galadriel.
