Exciting news, Lee fans! Lee Pace is in final negotiations to play the villain in Disney and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, the Wrap reports. Not much is known about his role, but we do know that Guardians of the Galaxy follows a group of alien superheroes as they protect the solar system from an evil alien race.
The cast currently features Chris Pratt as Star Lord, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, WWE star Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer and Michael Rooker as Yondu. Ophelia Lovibond will also co-star in an unknown supporting role.

Last week, Peter Jackson hosted a Q&A you could only watch if you had purchased the ‘Unexpected Journey’ Blu-Ray and entered a code from the DVD package. In the Q&A, Jackson takes questions from fans, including Stephen Colbert and actor Billy Boyd and shows off some behind-the-scenes footage which features Lee Pace as Thranduil, Orlando Bloom as Legolas, Evangeline Lily as the elf archer Tauriel and Luke Evans as the human Bard the Bowman. The Hobbit director commented: “The great thing about the second ['Hobbit'] movie — as it was with the ‘Two Towers’ actually — is that the stories start splitting up into multiple story lines and we can follow different characters as the story intensifies and the stakes go up”. One of those story lines, as you can tell from the footage, will be the introduction of the elves from Mirkwood.

“The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” opens later this year on December 13th.

Lee has been jogging with James on his last day of Golden Age play. They’ve been running across the Central park and discussing his fans, [Golden Age] play and movies. When asked about apparently preferring theatre to film and TV given his continual penchant for the stage, Pace enthusiastically states, “I don’t know – I just like to work!” but he admits that, “There is nothing better than doing a play in New York. It becomes, like, a really interesting chapter in your life,” and described acting as “A weird job – a really weird job.” Lee and James also discussed Mr. Pace’s Lincoln character and his Breakng Dawn part. Lee revealed that many Twihard fans came to see his play and told: “I just appreciate that Twilight really does bring a community of people together.”
James also gave Lee Oprah, Martha Stewart, and Queen Elizabeth II to choose between in Marry, Shag, Throw off a Cliff game. Watch the video bellow to see his answer.

From Deadline:

Lee Pace is set as a lead of AMC‘s drama pilot Halt & Catch Fire, from Breaking Bad executive producer Mark Johnson. Also starring in the pilot, written by Chris Cantwell and Chris Rogers, is Mackenzie Davis (Breathe In). Juan José Campanella is set to direct. Set in the early 1980s, Halt & Catch Fire dramatizes the personal computing boom through the eyes of a Mackenzie Davisvisionary, an engineer and a prodigy whose innovations directly confront the corporate behemoths of the time. Their personal and professional partnership will be challenged by greed and ego while charting the changing culture in Texas’ Silicon Prairie.

TVline reports Lee will play confident and powerful Joe, the smartest guy in the room who is two steps ahead of both his allies and his enemies. Once a superstar salesman at IBM, Joe recently departed under mysterious circumstances only to resurface at a Dallas tech company called Cardiff Giant. It’s here that he demonstrates an ability to masterfully seize control, even as his demons continuously threaten to rear up at the most inopportune times.

MSN posted a behind the scenes clip of Lee as Garrett in Twilight Saga film. The video is also featured on the DVD/Blu-ray release of “Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2″ you can purchase on Amazon. In video crew discusses the character Lee played, we get to see a part of his audition and find out what he think of Stephanie Moyer’s interpretation of the vampires.

Ilze kindly shared her story of meeting Lee with us:

I was amongst the few and proud who had the opportunity to meet Lee Pace after a riveting performance of The Golden Age on January 12! As soon as he emerged from the stage door, I (as my friend says) “pounced” and asked him for a picture. While my friend got his camera ready, I thanked Lee for Soldier’s Girl. He smiled widely and said that was his first and favorite role. I told him I’d watched it 13 times that week, to which he responded, “That’s great…wait, this week?!” We both laughed and luckily my friend was able to capture that amazing moment in this photo.

Here’s a lovely photo of Ilze and Lee:

Laura shared a photo of herself with Lee, that was taken at Manhattan Theatre Club yesterday. She wrote that Lee Pace was even more beautiful in person and that the play was amazing. Seems like Laura also liked how Lee sang in Italian and wore tight pants. When they talked backstage he told her the Fall was (in his opinion) the most beautiful movie (in every way) and it’s also the movie that he was the most proud of.
