EVANGELINE LILLY ON HER
Are you excited about THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG which should bring fairy tale to cinemas this December? As you know, one of the characters we haven't seen in THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY is of Elven archer Tauriel who is being played by stunning beauty Evangeline Lilly. Her character appears in the upcoming sequel as a member of Elven king Thranduil's royal guard. Speaking for the latest issue of Total Film, Evangeline has revealed that Tauriel, the character which doesn't exist in J.R.R. Tolkien's book and was invented for the film to add more female characters, will be a very young elf, only 600 years old, unlike Legolas who is 1,900 years old and Thranduil who is about 3,000 years old. Because of this she doesn't have quite the wisdom and pose that those two have and is more gritty, spontaneous, and passionate. Although graceful and refined as all other Elves, she is still a ruthless warrior!

WORLD WAR Z
Today you can also check out a brand new poster for upcoming zombie action epic WORLD WAR Z which will be released into cinemas June
21st! Directed by Marc Forster, this is a big screen movie adaptation of Max Brooks apocalyptic horror novel in which Brad Pitt plays United Nations employee Gerry Lane who traverses the world in a race against time to stop the Zombie pandemic that is toppling armies and governments, and threatening to decimate humanity itself. The cast also includes James Badge Dale and Matthew Fox! Now we only wait to see if the extremely expensive $170 million movie will be apocalyptic for Paramount or will the hordes of crazed zombies bring them some cash!
WORLD WAR Z , nice poster and great trailer .
ReplyDeleteCheers.
It's super scary, isn't it? Those zombies are creepy!
Deletewell hello... lilly. i don't think that wwz is going to be that successful, not that it won't be a good movie. i think most will think it's a direct rip-off of the walking dead show or 28 days...
ReplyDeleteit might have a world wide success, since the latest trends show that a lot of films score their money around the world not in USA. If it becomes a success it will be Brad's first :)
DeleteOoooohhhhh nice eye candy today my friend!!! I'm not really into zombie flicks, but for some reason WWZ has my attention. Perhaps it's because Brad Pitt is the star and I want to see some zombie rip his shirt off.
ReplyDeletefingers crossed that this happens to Brad while you're watching, sister :)
DeleteI'm sorry you need to take out the Max Brooks part of this its in name only it doesn't really take anything from the World War Z books at all.
ReplyDeleteyep, I've heard that. Is it true that in the book the zombies don't really run and jump and swarm like ants?
DeleteYeah they are slow shambling types but gather enmasses whole sections of the book are stories on the fight to retake the USA and waging war against the hordes. Its a shame the book and the audiobooks are excellent its a shame really they could of been onto a winner.
Deletebooks are rarely adapted faithfully onto the big screen.
DeleteWorld War Z will be a hit because people love Pitt and zombies. Too bad it's not really derived from the novel. That kinda stinks.
ReplyDeleteGlad they're adding more female characters in The Hobbit World, but I've always thought Middle Earth had no people of color either.
yep, it could be a hit if people don't decide to wait a bit more and watch apocalypse in PACIFIC RIM :)
DeleteI just went to the movies yesterday to see the new Star Trek movie, and I saw the trailer to World War. It looks like a cool movie!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed STAR TREK, Sherry :)
DeleteI liked her in LOST. it will be fun to see her in another role. And I love the premise of DEATH COMES TO PEMBERLEY.
ReplyDeleteI bet she will be great in HOBBIT :)
DeleteWhat a scary trailer, yikes ~
ReplyDeleteAnd I happy to see them add more female characters to the Hobbit movie ~ The first one was very good so I am looking forward to the next ~
Hope you are well Dezzy ~
zombies are always scary :) but Hobbits scare me even more ... we Elven people don't like those hairy smelly little creatures :)
ReplyDeleteNo way, zombies are way scarier! I don't care if Pitt is in the movie, no way I'm seeing anything with zombies in it! :)
Deleteit could be risky for a faint heart :)
DeleteHi Dezzy ~ I'm actually excited to see World War Z. =)
ReplyDeletejust don't take kids with you :)
Delete600 years young, passionate and gritty: sounds like the perfect heroine.
ReplyDeletea young lass, isn't she? :)
DeleteJust saw Z's trailer yesterday when I went to see Into Darkness. I am so excited for this movie!
ReplyDeleteit's super exciting, isn't it? :)
DeleteWWZ will be a hit
ReplyDeletemost probably, especially with the new banners that they've released yesterday with all the major cities around the world being destroyed on them by the fire and zombies.
DeleteI'm excited for the Hobbit. Ok, I actually just really like Martin Freeman.
ReplyDeletehope it won't be boring as the first film was :)
DeleteI can't wait for the next Hobbit movie!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI never read Pride and Prejudice though. I know, how awful is that. And yeah, WWZ will be awesome! I admit, I'm a Brad Pitt fan, and not one bit embarrassed.
.......dhole
awful? Why awful, I actually praise you for that :) As an English literature professor I actually despise Austen :)
DeleteI can't wait for the new Hobbit. Here's to gritty female warriors! World War Z is going to rock. You know how I love my zombies.
ReplyDeleteyou wouldn't like this kind of zombies in your town for sure, Melsy :)
DeleteOf course I'm not excited about the Hobbit part deux. They should've stayed on that bird and flown all the way to wherever it is they were heading. End of the movie. Do you reckon Brat I mean Brad Pitt is a zombie?
ReplyDeletewell judging how he grew old and wrinkled after he got all those kids with Maleficent Jolie, I'm guessing he might as well be a zombie.... Jennifer Aniston could dezombify him, though!
DeleteShe sure could. What a switch that guy made. Wouldn't have happened to me. I mean, Jennifer... hello.
DeleteI imagine some evil magic was involved in the whole switch.... Maleficent Jolie has dark powers for sure....
