Orlando Bloom Recreates ‘Isengard’ Meme, Departs Middle Earth

Orlando Bloom wrapped filming on the third and final instalment in The Hobbit trilogy There and Back Again yesterday, an occasion marked in traditional Weta style, notably the live action recreation of the ‘They’re Taking The Hobbits To Isengard’ viral video from 2007 – a meme that time and a time that memes forgot.

Peter Jackson posted the surprisingly low-res video to his Facebook page overnight, accompanied by the message: “A day after saying goodbye to Gandalf and Tauriel, it was time to farewell Legolas. What a great day it was, with Orlando battling a serious Orc for all 12 hours of shooting – part of the Battle of the 5 Armies for the third Hobbit movie. 
When we finally got the day done, we said goodbye to Orlando, had a couple of beers … and couldn’t resist doing this!” 
You can watch the original below.
The second Hobbit film, The Desolation Of Smaug will open in cinemas December 13th, followed by the final instalment, There and Back Again on December 17th 2014 – some fifteen years after Bloom began shooting The Fellowship of The Ring at the age of twenty-two.
