From Lost To The Hobbit

In an interview to Total Film, Evangeline Lilly talks about her character (Tauriel) in the upcoming The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and The Hobbit: There and Back Again.

Her character, which isn’t in the original book by Tolkien is “… an absolutely ruthless, deadly killer” according to Lilly.

“She’s a very, very young elf,” “She’s only 600 years old, unlike Legolas who’s like, 1,900 years old and Thranduil who’s about 3,000 years old. She doesn’t have quite the wisdom and pose that those two boys do; she’s a little more... gritty. A little more spontaneous, passionate perhaps.”

“To play this character I need to have a certain amount of grace,” said Lilly. “But I’m also supposed to be an absolutely ruthless, deadly killer."

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is schedule to be released on December of this year.
