Sean Astin spoke to Sci Fi Wire today about a possible return to Middle Earth in one of the Hobbit movies. Unlike co-star Dominic Monaghan though, it seems Astin has actually read The Hobbit.
Regular readers will remember in January we reported Dominic Monaghan believed that Astin, Billy Boyd, Elijah Wood and himself – the original Hobbits- will play some role in the two Hobbit movies but Astin thinks it unlikely.
When Sci Fi Wire asked Astin to comment on the thoughts of Dominic Monaghan he told them:
I wouldn’t personally expect to be back. Peter knows that he just has to tell me when and where to show up and I’ll be there. But I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know what’s going on with that. Everyone would say during the releases of the Rings films, “Oh, will The Hobbit ever get made?” There was all this political stuff.
The studio had only certain rights and they wouldn’t do it unless they had all the rights and they weren’t ever going to make a deal with the other company that had the other rights, and blah, blah, blah.
I always just said, “You people are out of your minds. Of course it’s going to be made and it’ll be great and Peter will do it. And there it is.” And they’re doing it. So I’m excited. I’m excited to see them. But I personally don’t expect them to call me.
