Orlando Bloom has revealed that he wants to reprise his role as an elf-prince in upcoming ‘Lord Of The Rings’ prequel ‘The Hobbit’.
The actor is so desperate that he’s already asked Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson, who will write the screenplay for the, about the cast.
Bloom landed his breakthrough role playing Legolas in Jackson’s 2001 epic ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring’, and he went on to star in the two sequels.
Work has now begin on a prequel, based on J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit - the book which began the fantasy story franchise - and Bloom wants to be involved.
“I shot an email to Pete and I said, ‘You know, if you want me to don the blond wig and pointy ears again, I’d be honoured to do it.’ He said - funnily enough - ‘Well, we’ll see’. They’re very, very hush-hush,” the Daily Star quoted him as telling MTV.com.
However, Bloom has admitted that the decision may rest with Guillermo del Toro, who will helm the blockbuster.
“It’s Guillermo’s movie and I’m a huge fan of that man. He’s obviously going to take his own idea of it, but I’m excited for that movie. I think it’s going to be great,” he said.
