Actors Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn), Ian McKellen (Gandalf) and Andy Serkis (Gollum) have all been contacted about returning to Middle Earth in Guillermo del Toro's new Hobbit film.
Variety says, "Pre-production is about to get under way on the two-part "Hobbit."
Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens are expected to pen the scripts under the direction of Peter Jackson and del Toro.
Preliminary contact has already been made with at least three actors whose "Lord of the Rings" characters also appear in the "Hobbit" storyline: Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn), Ian McKellen (Gandalf) and Andy Serkis (Gollum)."
If any of these actors were not available due to schedule, would del Toro recast?
Del Toro said, "We will all be involved in the script in some fashion but the exact definition is about a week away. I am all for keeping the actors who originated the parts, as much as availability and their willingness will allow."
