“LOST” and “Real Steel” actress Evangeline Lilly spoke with SFX about her upcoming movie “The Hobbit,” in which she stars as a character who wasn’t originally in the novel. Here’s what Evangeline revealed about playing the character Tauriel.
I am very concerned to this day that people will watch the film and I’ll be the black mark on the film. I know how adamant the purists are, and I’m one of them! Upon reading The Hobbit again, as an adult, I can see why additional characters were needed to round out the story as an adaptation—especially female characters! The Hobbit didn’t include female characters at all. What they have done is all in perfect keeping with Tolkien’s world, while adding a third dimension to an otherwise very two-dimensional story.
What are your thoughts on this?
“The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” will arrive in theaters on December 14, 2012 while the second movie in the franchise, “The Hobbit: There and Back Again,” will hit theaters on December 13, 2013.
