Legolas is supposedly a Sylvian elf, and they are the elves who capture the dwarves in Mirkwood in \”The Hobbit\”, so he may have more than a cameo role as well, though I doubt he\’ll be more than introduced as the son of the King of the Woodland Elves. As for the other supporting characters from the LOTR trilogy, Frodo, Samwise and the other hobbits shouldn\’t even have been born at this time (I\’m not sure about Gimli) so I don\’t know why Elija Wood would be cast in the film (unless as a sort of flashback introducing mechanism).

I thought Legolas, Elrond and all the other supporting characters were introduced very well in Fellowship…Why do they all need to be introduced again for the first time in a film that takes place before Fellowship in order for things to \”flow seemlessly\”?
