OMG OMG OMG. Lee Pace is going to play Thranduil in The Hobbit. Between that and Jackson's unleashing of massive technical wizardry (something about filming at sixty gajillion frames per second? I forget exactly), now I have to see this in a theatre when it comes out.

(OMG LEE PACE! AND HIS EYEBROWS! ON A BIG SCREEN!)

I didn't even like the book when I read it (I think I might have been too old; I read it at nineteen or so), but...yes. Hard to go wrong with a combination of Tolkien, Peter Jackson, and Lee Pace.

Thranduil is the king of the Mirkwood elves (and Legolas's father, heh). He chucks Bilbo and his dwarf buddies in a dungeon at one point, but I'm not sure he does much else.

Right, right! I seem to remember some barrel-themed aquatic escapes in there somewhere...

Perhaps he got a new agent?

Hallelujah!

Noooooooo!!! My Thranduil will be Doug Jones covered in his usual ungodly amounts of latex until the movie screen says otherwise, damn it. Because I like the idea of Doug-covered-in-makeup being father to the Legolas all the fangirls were in love with, damn it. lol.
