After searching the net even more, I’ve come across a couple of mentions of Evangeline’s “The Hobbit” character, Tauriel! As you might already know, 10 minutes of footage from the first film was shown at CinemaCon 2012 for cinema owners and apparently Tauriel was in one of the scenes. I’ve gathered some mentions of her from various online sources (Onering mostly), and listed them below. They contain some spoilers from the film though, so don’t continue reading if you don’t want to be spoiled!

Evangeline’s character sounds intriguing – can’t wait to see her in the film! I’m also very exited that she will do atleast one scene with Orlando Bloom (Legolas). What do you guys think? Comment with your thoughts, we would love to hear your opinions/thoughts/ideas.

Mirkwood, the dwarves are shown after their spider sequence, they are covered in spider webs. Don’t see much of Mirkwood, what is seen has spider webs everywhere. Tauriel slides into the scene with bow and arrow at the ready. Brown outfit with braided hairdo. Medium brown hair (not blond). Legolas appeared at the end of the scene with Tauriel. AS the dwarves are running covered in webs, they are suddenly confronted by Elves, and Legolas has an arrow pointed at Thorin’s nose, saying “I will not hesitate to kill you, dwarf!” setting up for his attitude in LOTR. His costume is the same as LOTR. Tauriel’s is similar, but in brown rather than green.

SPOILERS! We just got off the phone with Cliff (Quickbeam) to discuss what he witness during today’s WB presentation at CinemaCon 2012 in Las Vegas. He is literally on the road right now, driving back to LA, but wanted to pass along a few quick-hit items to share with you all before he goes into extreme detail during our LIVE TORn Tuesday show. (Which btw will now be pushed to 5:30pm PT today because of the trip) Please note, If you are fearful of spoilers…stop reading now!

Over all, Cliff was taken aback by the presentation of 3d 48fps – describing it as something he has never witnessed before – notes to come during the live broadcast tonight.

But what about the tidbits that were revealed in the 10 minutes of footage?…

– The White Council featuring Saruman, Gandalf, Galadriel and Elrond.
– Riddles in the Dark with Smeagol and Bilbo
– The Trolls – Tom, Bert and Bill – all with dialogue!
– Gandalf in Dol Guldur with Thrain
– Legolas and Tauriel in an action sequence and a tense threat to Thorin!
– Radagast the Brown in a bit of comedic glory
– more…

Someone has also posted the full chat with someone releated to the film on The One Ring Forums here, where you get a lot of information about the characters scenes and more. Contains a lot of spoilers!
