“Will PJ’s Tolkien Tinkering Make Or Break The Hobbit?”
That’s the big question posed by Ben Child of The Guardian! To begin
with, fans have long known that Peter Jackson’s vision for his
two-part adaptation of The Hobbit involves plans to include the
activities of the White Council and the Necromancer of Dol Guldur, a
rather sketchy storyline that minimally involves Gandalf, Saruman, and
Galadriel, and occurs parallel to the main story of Bilbo’s journey
with the thirteen Dwarves to the Lonely Mountain.

Peter Jackson has started answering fan-submitted questions on his
official Facebook page, and the first answer is a big one! Since
learning there would be two films, most of us here at TheOneRing.net
were dreaming we’d get to see The White Council and the attack on Dol
Guldur. Well, as it turns out, we will! Not to take anything away from
PJ’s official post, we won’t reveal more here in this article.
(including the exclusive picture of The White Council). You’ll have to
jump over to Facebook and see it for yourself. And don’t forget to

Peter Confirms Orlando Bloom joining ‘The Hobbit’
Direct from Peter Jackson…Ten years ago, Orlando Bloom created an
iconic character with his portrayal of Legolas. I’m excited to
announce today that we’ll be revisiting Middle Earth with him once
more. I’m thrilled to be working with Orlando again. Funny thing is, I
look older—and he doesn’t! I guess that’s why he makes such a
wonderful elf.
