Deadline is reporting on the latest person to join The Hobbit, which is currently filming in New Zealand!
Luke Evans will play Bard:
…a last major part that Peter Jackson hadn’t cast in a production that’s underway in New Zealand. Bard the Grim is a skilled archer, and the heir of King Girion of Dale. The king was killed by the talking dragon Smaug. The character plays a greater role in the second film, and is somewhat reminiscent of the action-hero exploits of Viggo Mortensen’s Aragorn, I’m told.
The Hobbit will be released in two parts in December 2012 and 2013.
