Viggo in The Hobbit?


I pray that this news is true:
From Variety:
Pre-production is about to get under way on the two-part "Hobbit." Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens are expected to pen the scripts under the direction of Peter Jackson and del Toro. Preliminary contact has already been made with at least three actors whose "Lord of the Rings" characters also appear in the "Hobbit" storyline: Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn), Ian McKellen (Gandalf) and Andy Serkis (Gollum).

"We will all be involved in the script in some fashion but the exact definition is about a week away, " said del Toro. "I am all for keeping the actors who originated the parts, as much as availability and their willingness will allow."

Google Grants Blog: Grant recipients helping victims of Cyclone Nargis

Google Grants Blog: Grant recipients helping victims of Cyclone Nargis

Google's matching donation program doubles your contribution as it matches what you donate with its contribution up to $1 million. This site highlights the grant recipients of Google.

Please contribute as much as you can, and also spread the word about this donation program. Even if you can only donate $10 (which I believe is the lowest amount you can donate through google), it will have become $20 with Google's matching program. If you spread the word and urge people, pretty soon, we will make that $1 million mark.

So far, I have managed to convince two people at work to contribute through Google. I don't know how much they donated, but that's two more donors than what we had a week ago. Every attempt to raise funds counts towards making a difference in someone's life over in Burma.

Let's make it happen.
