First Official Image from THE HOBBIT: THERE AND BACK AGAIN Featuring Orlando Bloom and Luke Evans
Here’s the first official image from Peter Jackson’s (Mr. Jackson if you’re nasty) ‘The Hobbit: There and Back Again’ featuring Bard the Bowman (Luke Evans) alongside blonde bombshell Legolas (Orlando Bloom). ‘There and Back Again’ is the third film in the totally necessary ‘Hobbit’ trilogy and it opens July 14, 2014. More after the jump!
Writer/producer Philippa Boyens on Bard the Bowman:
“Bard is an interesting character, but [in the book] he’s kind of a random character who comes in after the fact. We take more time introducing him. We know from what follows that he was a father, so we [explore] that. I don’t think we take liberties, because it’s all there in the storytelling.”
Jackson on the return of Mr. Goldilocks himself:
“He’s [elven king] Thranduil’s son, and Thranduil is one of the characters in The Hobbit, and because elves are immortal it makes sense Legolas would be part of the sequence in the Woodland Realm.”
