Agent Smith err… Hugo Weaving has been confirmed to don those elf ears once again as he will reunite with Andy Serkis and Ian McKellen in The Hobbit.
This comes from Guillermo del Toro, who says the trio will all return “… as the roles they originated in the trilogy.”
Weaving played the elf leader Elrond in all three films in the highly popular Lord of the Rings series.
Once you’ve gotten over your nerdgasm, you’ll be pleased to know that the first of the two Hobbit films will open December 2011. Mark your calendars now!
