Со страницы ПиДжея на фейсбуке:
"I’m also pleased to announce that Lee Pace will be playing the Elven King Thranduil. Casting these Tolkien stories is very difficult, especially the Elven characters, and Lee has always been our first choice for Thranduil. He’s going to be great. We loved his performance in a movie called “The Fall” a few years ago, and have been hoping to
work with him since. When we were first discussing who would be right for Thranduil, Lee came into mind almost immediately"
Даже немного обидно, потому что как-то уже надеялась на Теннанта, и даже ждала его в этой роли. А этот чувак вообщене понятный, и сразу в Трандуилы!
