Elijah Jordan Wood

Elijah Wood está confirmado em “O Hobbit”, diz revista


Segundo a revista Entertainment Weekly, o ator Elijah Wood, 29 anos, vai aparecer no filme “O Hobbit” interpretando o papel de Frodo Baggins, personagem principal da trilogia “O Senhor dos Anéis”.

A curiosidade é que o personagem Frodo não aparece no livro de J.R.R. Tolkien, que deu origem ao filme, uma vez que a história de “O Hobbit” se passa anos antes dos eventos ocorridos na trilogia.

No longa, Frodo vai aparecer como uma espécie de narrador, contando a história da juventude de Bilbo Bolseiro e suas aventuras com Gandalf e um grupo de anões atrás de tesouros desconhecidos.

O filme será dirigido por Peter Jackson, que já confirmou a participação também de Cate Blanchett no papel de Galadriel. As filmagens devem começar em fevereiro, na Nova Zelândia.



Elijah Jordan Wood (born January 28, 1981) is an American actor. He made his film debut with a minor part in Back to the Future Part II (1989), then landed a succession of larger roles that made him a critically acclaimed child actor by age 9. He is best known for his high-profile role as Frodo Baggins in Peter Jackson's critically acclaimed The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Since then, he has resisted typecasting by choosing varied roles in critically acclaimed films such as Bobby, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Sin City, Green Street and Everything Is Illuminated.
He starred in the film Day Zero (2007) and provided the voice of the main character, Mumble, in the award-winning animated film Happy Feet. He played an American tourist turned vampire in Paris, je t'aime. In 2005, he started his own record label, Simian Records. He was cast in the lead role of an Iggy Pop biopic to be called The Passenger, but after years of development, the project now appears to be shelved.
In 2006, he became a well-known voice actor in video gaming and soon became the voice of the video game icon Spyro the Dragon.
In 2008, he became the first person to cross Victoria Falls on ropes during an appearance on Jack Osbourne's show Adrenaline Junkie.
