New Tauriel Vs. Orcs Clip - THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES
It's a very short but action-packed clip, featuring 'Tauriel' (played by Evangeline Lilly) slicing and dicing her way through a pack of Orcs. Hit the jump to check out this new clip from Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies.
I usually stress the importance of not straying from the source material but when director Peter Jackson ("The Lord of the Rings") decided to add a new character, Tauriel (played by Evangeline Lily), to The Hobbit films I really didn't mind. I completely understand why some fans have never fully embraced the character, but the reality is that J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit is devoid of signficant female characters and in this day and age you don't want to alienate a large segment of the population by not having at least one. Plus, I enjoy the romantic subplot she has going on with Kili (Aidan Turner). Now check out this 15-second clip of 'Tauriel' mowing down some nasty Orcs.
From Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson comes “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies,” the third in a trilogy of films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien. “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” brings to an epic conclusion the adventures of Bilbo Baggins, Thorin Oakenshield and the Company of Dwarves. Having reclaimed their homeland from the Dragon Smaug, the Company has unwittingly unleashed a deadly force into the world. Enraged, Smaug rains his fiery wrath down upon the defenseless men, women and children of Lake-town. Obsessed above all else with his reclaimed treasure, Thorin sacrifices friendship and honor to hoard it as Bilbo’s frantic attempts to make him see reason drive the Hobbit towards a desperate and dangerous choice. But there are even greater dangers ahead. Unseen by any but the Wizard Gandalf, the great enemy Sauron has sent forth legions of Orcs in a stealth attack upon the Lonely Mountain. As darkness converges on their escalating conflict, the races of Dwarves, Elves and Men must decide – unite or be destroyed. Bilbo finds himself fighting for his life and the lives of his friends in the epic Battle of the Five Armies, as the future of Middle-earth hangs in the balance.
