Orlando Bloom to play Legolas in 'Hobbit'

Good news for all Legolas fans! Director Peter Jackson, who is hard at work directing "The Hobbit", has stated via Facebook that Orlando Bloom will be reprising his role as the bow and arrow-wielding elf. Who's excited?
This is what Jackson had to say: "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."
He added, "Funny thing is, I look older—and he doesn’t! I guess that's why he makes such a wonderful elf."
