The news come from his official website which say’s,
Slowly but surely, Peter Jackson has managed to secure the return of the majority of the major stars from The Lord of the Rings franchise for his soon to be shooting prequel, based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit.
Sir. Christopher Lee had been in talks to reprise his role as the wizard Saruman and it now looks certain, providing that he is in good health, that he will be appearing in the movie.
Let’s hope that Lee’s health will hold out for filming. Deals have recently been finalized with Ian McKellen, Andy Serkis and Elijah Wood who will all reprise the characters they brought to life in The Lord of the Rings.
The first of the two Hobbit will be released in theaters on December 19th 2012!
