Speaking with
Total Film, Luke Evans discusses his portrayal of 'Bard The Bowman' in the two-part adaptation of
The Hobbit (
An Unexpected Journey and
There And Back Again), Peter Jackson's hotly anticipated return to Middle Earth. Evans reveals that Bard will be slightly more involved than in the novel, while also talking about his first impressions of seeing the set.
On How Large His Role In The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Is:
“There’s slightly more Bard in the movie than is in the novel. Everything in the book is definitely in the film but… [whispers] I’ll have my tongue cut out if I say anything else. Let’s put it this way – I shoot a lot of arrows…”
On Seeing The Set For The First Time:
“I can’t really describe it. When I first arrived I went straight to Bilbo’s house. I saw it on the big screen when I was 21 and there I was, walking around it in costume – a very special moment. I’ll look back on that in 20 years and hopefully be as proud as I am now.”
Evans can currently be seen in
The Raven, and has recently been confirmed to play a villain in
Fast & Furious 6.
