Orlando Bloom is an Elf again!

Peter Jackson has confirmed via Facebook of all places that Orlando Bloom has signed on to reprise the role that shot him to stardom, Legolas.

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. Funny thing is, I look older—and he doesn’t! I guess that's why he makes such a wonderful elf.

What do you think?  Good that we're going to be seeing these characters from the previous films?

Don't forget that The Lord of the Rings Extended Edition Trilogy comes out on Blu-ray next month!
