'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies': What to Expect in the Upcoming Film
In just a few days, Peter Jackson will be on hand at San Diego Comic Con to discuss his upcoming movie, "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies."
While "Hobbit" fans wait until the July 26 talk, they can get a few peeks into what the movie will look like. For example, a new movie still was released recently, noted Indiewire. The picture shows Gandalf and Bard the Bowman looking upward.
It appears that both are in the middle of a fight scene, though it's difficult to tell exactly what's going on.
The movie is set to be released on Dec. 17.
Warner Bros.' Comic Con presentation will take place from 10 a.m. to noon.
Evangeline Lilly, who plays Tauriel in the films, will also be present at Comic Con. She will be promoting several projects. She took some time to talk to Slash Film about what fans could expect.
So far she has not seen any of the film, but she'll see some soon when she has to film some additional dialogue replacement. But she doesn't watch her work until the premier.
"I like to see the films at the premiere," she said. "And so usually by the time I've seen the film, I've already done massive rounds of press and answered every question under the sun about the movie that I haven't seen."
She spoke a little bit about the fate of her character. Though she couldn't say much, she said that Tauriel's "story ends in classic Tolkien fashion."
Lilly added that Jackson was able to create Tauriel by being very knowledgeable in J. R. R. Tolkien's work, specifically how he wrote about women.
"So it's kind of cool if you look into, if you project or you're looking at Tauriel and you are looking for references, Tolkien references, you need to look in all of his other books to see how he wrote for women," she said. "And I think that Peter Jackson being an expert on Tolkien took all that into account."
