Orlando Bloom is reuniting with his 'Lord of the Rings' director Peter Jackson for 'The Hobbit', the much hyped adaptation of JRR Tolkien's original novel.

Jackson says he is thrilled to work again with Bloom, who played elf Legolas in the 'Rings' series. But the actor will appear in a different role in the new movie, the Hollywood Reporter said.

"Ten years ago, Orlando Bloom created an iconic character with his portrayal of Legolas. I'm excited to announce today that we'll be revisiting Middle Earth with him once more. I'm thrilled to be working with Orlando again," Jackson said in a Facebook post.

The director is currently directing the two-movie adaptation in New Zealand.

The films helped Bloom to achieve stardom. Jackson wrote on his Facebook page, "I look older and he doesn't! I guess that's why he makes such a wonderful elf."

The Hobbit movies, which have been in the works for 14 years, has faced a series of setbacks.

Actors Cate Blanchett, Ian McKellen, Elijah Wood and Andy Serkis are also reprising their roles from Rings in the prequel, which centers on Bilbo (Freeman) finding the supernatural ring and passing it on to his nephew, Frodo (Wood).

The first of the two movies is planned for a December 2012 release and the second is expected a year later.
