So far, in regards to THE HOBBIT, it’s all been eye candy for the ladies with short, bearded, balding men taking up every trailer and piece of publicity released. Where’s the stuff for us straight men? Well here is the first look at LOST’s Evangeline Lilly in costume. Evangeline Lilly plays Tauriel, and her role may have been downplayed so far as she wasn’t part of the book. That’s right, it’s feminism gone mad. Next they’ll CGI a female speaking role into LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (1962). She will be the head of the Elven Guard. If you didn’t know, THE HOBBIT is a prequel to THE LORD OF THE RINGS saga, and details how Bilbo first came into contact with the one ring after he went on a quest with a bunch of dwarves.
THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY is released 14th December 2012. It stars Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Benedict Cumberbatch, Andy Serkis, Luke Evans, Evangeline Lilly, Elijah Wood, Hugo Weaving, Cate Blanchett, Richard Armitage, Orlando Bloom, Christopher Lee, Aiden Turner, Ian Holm, Billy Connolly, and Lee Pace.
