I don’t think there’s anyone who isn’t excited about the news that The Hobbit is moving forward with Peter Jackson involved in some point. Heck, I haven’t even seen many people questioning the decision to make two movies instead of one (where the three Lord of the Rings books became three movies). We all want to return to Middle Earth, and that’s equally true for the ring bearer, Elijah Wood.

Wood told MTV Movies Blog that he would love to return to the franchise and that there might be a possibility for him to do so, although nothing is certain. He said that he’s learned through e-mails with Jackson that, ”as far as I know the two films that they’re doing, one will be ‘The Hobbit’ and another will take place between the 60 years that happened between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.”

Now, Wood isn’t aware of anything that has specifically been written to bring Frodo back, but there isn’t a ton of “documented” Middle Earth history between the prelude and the major saga written by Tolkien, and what little there is does involve Frodo Baggins and how he came to live with his Uncle, Bilbo Baggins.

Still, Wood says he would jump at the chance to slip on the furry Hobbit feet again, ”if [Frodo] should show up, it would actually be the perfect way to revisit because it could be small enough that I could go back and have a nice sort of reunion with the memories that I have of the experience.”

I’m not crazy of a whole film bridging the gap between The Hobbit and the existing trilogy, but I would love to see Frodo show up, even if it’s for a small passing of the baton. Then again, I still want Ian Holm to play Bilbo, just because that’s what the previous movies established. I guess I’m just stuck in what the original trilogy accomplished and I’m hoping the new movies won’t tarnish that.
