He says that casting for "The Hobbit" starts this week with wide auditions expected for every role except Gandalf (Ian McKellen) according to the Heat Vision Blog.
"We're auditioning for every role apart from Ian McKellen who we obviously want to return as Gandalf. We are not really offering any roles to anybody until we've done a casting sweep".
Big stars aren't necessary either as "(The films in the saga) have never been a star-driven vehicle.... We want to find the right people."
Just off that report Jackson told MTV though both Elrond (Hugo Weaving) and Galadriel (Cate Blanchett) could both be back …
He once again dismissed Hobbit delay chatter, saying the films were always planned to start shooting around April or May of 2010.
French news Le Monde recently ran an exclusive interview with Steven Spielberg and Jackson about their upcoming motion capture films The Adventures of Tintin.
CinemaTeaser has the English translation of the conversation.
