Translation from French article:

It seems that there's is only one step between Middle Earth and Afghanistan. But to take it, Elijah Wood will have to change his hairy Hobbit flatfeet for Rory Stewart's "special trekkink shoes", as he will play Stewart’s role in adapting of his book "The Places in Between".
...
...
A coveted role since last year already, Orlando Bloom had expressed his willingness to embody the philanthropist on screen, but editor Albin Michel, who hold the rights of "The Places in Between", ruled in favor of Elijah Wood, which should start filming early next year.

"but editor Albin Michel, who hold the rights of "The Places in Between", ruled in favor of Elijah Wood, which should start filming early next year."

Oh yes. From all that i've read, Elijah is perfect for the part. I really hope that this happens..

It's odd that we've still read nothing about this anywhere else, isn't it?

I heard he's supposed to be doing voice work for Happy Feet 2 "early next year", also.

I hope "The Places in Between" is legitimate. It seems like a really meaty role for Elijah to play.

Thanks for the info and the translation.
