However, there have been a few exceptions, most notably Thranduil, the elf king of Mirkwood being played by <em>Pushing Daisies<\/em>\u2019 Lee Pace.<\/p>\n<p>Today we have that look courtesy of NZNoldor (via Middle Earth Network), who managed to get ahold of some pictures of the elvish monarch from the upcoming <em>The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Almanac 2013<\/em>. As you can see, Pace certainly brings a family resemblance for Thranduil as compared to his son Legolas, as played by Orlando Bloom. I also really like how Jackson and company have realized Thranduil\u2019s \u201ccrown of woodland flowers\u201d as it is described in <em>The Hobbit<\/em>.
