It might be an April Fool's joke..........but it would be so completely awesome if Bret McKenzie really did get to come back.

Best part of the article? This opening line:

Bret McKenzie was in Lord of the Rings, but you probably didn’t notice him.

:laugh:

We're apparently not in their target audience.

:lol: And yes, brilliant! LotR fans are definitely not who they're writing for.

It might be a joke, but at the same time it does make sense to bring back the same elves that we saw in the trilogy. ...seeing as how the elves are supposed to be immortal and all :teehee:

Do you think that PJ would give him a (sorta) larger role than he had in the LotR movies? Considering the attention he's gotten. . . :-P

It would make a bit of sense if they did. I was originally hoping that Figwit was perhaps one of Elrond's sons, but that bubble was burst when later they had him call Arwen "My lady". It would be a great nod to the fans to include him though.

Ha! I was just reading an article about this as well on the Daily What. They cited this news source:

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118034972

So, maybe it will be for sure.

They also said that he might be playing an Elf named Lindir and possibly have a singing part (but that part, may just be their musings ;) ) But, he will always be Figwit in my hearrrtttt. <3

TORn seems to think it's certain: http://www.theonering.net/torwp/2011/04 ... ay-lindir/

But he will totally always be Figwit for us :teehee: Maybe we could nickname this "Lindir" character Bigwit (Bilbo is great, who is thaaaaa?).

Bigwit sounds like someone is bigheaded to me lol! But yeah, I hear about the Lindir thing! I just think it's pretty cool they're bringing an old fan favorite into the movie like that. :)

Yeah, it's great that they remember the fans. After all, if not for us, they probably wouldn't be making The Hobbit! Anyway, I read on TORn that in the book, Lindir is the person who asks for an encore of Bilbo's song at Rivendell. Please correct me if I'm wrong. But it's nice that they're including more book characters!
