Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright

How Desolation of Smaug adds Elves who don’t appear in The Hobbit

J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit doesn’t mention many Elven characters by name, so for The Desolation of Smaug’s journey to the land of the Wood Elves, Peter Jackson brought back Orlando Bloom’s Legolas and created a female Wood Elf, Evangeline Lilly’s Tauriel. We spoke to both actors about their characters and how they fit into this particular chapter of Middle Earth.

“Please, can you just train me on a wire?” Because I’ve spent six years on a show that we did a lot of stunts in, and I did all my own stunts, everything. And I’m really not used to being treated like “a star.” On that show, we were just hired help. We were not treated that way. They’re like, “You’re precious. We can’t bump you, or bruise you, because there’s only one of you, and there’s like a thousand stunt doubles.” And I go, “Well, but I’m Tauriel. Shouldn’t I do it? I want to do it.” So it’s this back and forth and we fight about it all the time. Not fight, but I beg for it!“

Aha, there is so much truth here.
