Hey guys I saw this really cute video of Evi along with Orlando Bloom and Lee Pace watching a video of a couple of fan reactions while watching The Desolation of Smaug trailer.
… and it features Tauriel/Evangeline A LOT! Who else is excited for December now!? Screencaptures from the trailer will be up in the galleries as soon as I can find a HD version. What do you think of the trailer?
EDIT: Updated with a HD version (make sure you change the quality) – screencaptures are on the way!
I boarded a jet plane this past Friday and traveled 16 hours through the night to Washington, D.C. I was back on a plane again on Monday morning flying the reverse 16 hours back home. I was in Washington with over 40,000 other protesters for the Forward on Climate Rally, to call President Obama to say “no” to the KXL pipeline.
The journey was long and on the way there I read Tim Flannery’s Now or Never, an inspiring (short) read on the state of the planet in the face of climate change. On the way back I was too exhausted to read or do anything productive, so I watched b-movies and contemplated my experience at the largest climate rally in U.S. history. I thought about the KXL pipeline and what it represents at this moment in American/Canadian history. I thought about all of the concerns over the pipeline on both sides. I thought about solutions to climate disruption — solutions that won’t slow our economy or stop commerce, green energy solutions like the advanced carbon-neutral biofuels that should be fueling my jet travel. I thought about how many people are crying out that we need the tar sands pipeline right now for economic stimulation and for job creation. I thought about the hard working citizens who feed their children through oil related jobs. And… I couldn’t help but wonder….
If oil workers could choose, would they choose to work in toxic environments with damaging chemicals, or would they choose to work surrounded by clean air?
If Americans could choose, would they choose to work on the infrastructure for cancer-causing oil power or would they choose to work on the infrastructure for health reviving wind power?
If Canadians could choose, would they choose to dig up their forests, leaving behind barren and filthy wastelands, or would they choose to harvest the sun’s rays and leave behind a legacy for their children?If people had a choice, what would that choice be?
My reflections on climate choice were abruptly interrupted by the ever more sobering understanding that, right now, so many citizens of our free, democratic nations have no choice. They go to work in the dirty energy sector for lack of a better alternative.
There are jobs to be created on both sides of the climate argument. Whether we are investing in oil or sun, coal or wind, gas or algae, the economy will be stimulated by the investment. The economy, unlike each of us, is not swayed by ideology. So, by the time I touched down at home, I had but one, echoing thought in my mind, one aching plea for the leaders of our “free world”: Please… ask not the people if they want to work, but ask the people what they want to work toward. Even slaves have jobs. A free man should have choice.
Exiting news netters! Evangeline appeared at Good Morning New Zealand back in Novemeber (November 26), and a clip has finally surfaced online. It features Evi and Johnny Fraser- Allen, the creator of “The Goluming trilogy”. It’s a really interesting interview, as we get to hear a lot about Evangeline’s future career releated plans! It seems that 2013 will finally be a really big year for her, with the release of The Squickerwonkers, her official site (!!) and, of course, The Hobbit…
Screencaptures will be up in our galleries soon, and I will get the video added to our video archives! For now, watch the clip below…
Some disappointing news (which will be all forgotten a little later tonight hopefully, with the pretty premiere photo additions we have for you!) fellow Evangeline fans – it seems there’s no Tauriel in the first part of the “The Hobbit” trilogy like we previously suspected. Read the parts of the article below, and head over to the original source here for the full article + photos and clips from the premiere.
Remember me? Former Lost star Evangeline Lilly debuts her dramatic makeover at The Hobbit world premiere. She’s not actually going to be featured in the highly anticipated The Hobbit trilogy until the second installment, but that didn’t mean Evangeline Lilly was going to let the grande premiere pass her by. The former Lost star stole the spotlight as she attended the star-studded premiere in Wellington, New Zealand on Wednesday in a pink sparkly frock. Debuting a shorter haircut at the same time, the 33-year-old actress graced the red carpet on the arm of her co-star James Nesbitt.
The pretty brunette looked very different from the tomboy character we all came to know and love on Lost, with her short and playful haircut and glamorous frock. Evangeline has been out of the limelight since the popular show ended in 2010, but she’s set to appear in the next two installments of The Hobbit trilogy. Playing the character of Tauriel, an elf in Mirkwood, the actress won’t be seen in the films until The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is released next year. But despite not seeing herself on the big screen just yet, Evangeline decided to show her support to co-stars including Martin Freeman, Cate Blanchett, Elijah Wood and Ian McKellen at the premiere.
Thousands of fans gathered from all over the country to welcome the actors and celebrate the release of the eagerly anticipated film, many of them dressed as character from Middle Earth. Donning costumes as hobbits, elves, goblins and even trees, many had camped out overnight in an attempt to get the best spot on the 500 metre long red carpet.
Actor Barry Humphries, who took on the role of the Goblin King, spoke out about The Hobbit madness that had taken over the city.
Our girl has apparantley jetted down to Wellington, most likely for the “The Hobbit” premiere. Hopefully this means that we’ll have some new event photos soon! You can view a couple of photos of Evangeline in NZ at the Evi forums here, and I will be on the lookout for more.
Just 35 years ago, a little movie about a down on his luck boxer who turns his fortunes around thanks to pluck, grit and heart came out of nowhere to become one of the most beloved films of all time. But would “Rocky” has spawned all those sequels if it had been about a robot boxer instead? When director Shawn Levy’s Real Steel opened last October, it surprised quite a few people. For one, the so-called “robot boxing movie” packed a whole lot of heart. While some may have been expecting wall-to-wall robot fights, they soon found out that buried beneath this sci-fi adventure was an emotional father-son story. And once again, a sequel to the big hit Real Steel is In production as we speak.
In the sequel, we explore the origin story of Atom and we begin to question, “Is there something special to this robot, and if so, why?” It’s still in the future, it’s still linear. It’s the next chapter. It’s the fallout of the Zeus vs. Atom fight, and it’s the fallout of what happens with the kid’s custody (which technically is Aunt Debra’s). It’s not an origin story, but at one point in the movie Charlie needs to research where the hell this robot came from, and has to understand his inner workings more. So, he seeks out Atom’s creator. So it’s not a flashback, but we learn about the history because we will meet Atom’s creator.
It delves into the fallout of the new fame and money that the Kentons are going to have as a result of the Zeus – Atom fight. It also delves into something that was a cool aspect of the movie, which is the class warfare between the underground unsanctioned world of robot boxing and the monetized corporately funded league. The truth is, it’s not unlike the way boxing saw its popularity contested with the rise of a more violent, less rule-bound MMA.”
So, the underground robots would represent MMA fighters before they usurped boxing?
“Yes. The other thing in the sequel that I’m going to really explore is that the design of the robots is going to be more diverse. Our robots are extremely diverse, but they’re all anthropomorphic. They all look and fight more or less like humans, some of them have two heads, and one of them has a club for a right hand, but I think we can really blow out the design of the robots in the sequel — I’m exited about that.”Instead of relying solely on CG for the numerous robot-boxing matches, Levy opted for a nuanced blend of practical effects and cutting-edge motion capture technology. What resulted was some of the most seamlessly blended effects in recent memory. In addition to musing on the hybrid effects approach, the SimulCam technology that made the effects possible, and what sets Real Steel apart from the other VFX nominees.
Talks about the hybrid of practical and computer-generated visual effects. In order to make the seamless blend of the old school approach, they built the actual robots complete with hydraulic remote controls and used the practical robot for every shot that was possible with a real robot. The fighting, dancing, etc. of the robots was done using motion-capture and CG. They blended the old school craftsmanship of great practical effects work done by puppeteers with the outer edge of motion-capture technology to give Real Steel a textural realism.
Hello netters! The post-production video from “The Hobbit” has finally surfaced online, and you can now watch it below! It’s 14+ minutes long, and it’s a very interesting (and super-fun) watch. I didn’t spot Evangeline unfortunately, but I definitly recommend it nonetheless. Apparantly the film is set to be finished edited etc. only two days before the actual premiere!
New ‘Hobbit,Unexpected Journey’ 7 minute movie clip released online.

Hello netters! With the premiere of The Hobbit: An unexpected Journey being only a few weeks away now, a bunch of new TV spots, character posters, news and more have surfaced online. Hardly any of this features Evangeline unfortunately, but I’ll post it all for you here anyway.
- First, the Evangeline releated bit: as we’ve posted earlier, Evangeline originally said her character would only appear towards the end of part 1 (when The Hobbit was only to be released in two parts, and not three), and then more in part 2. We where unsure if this ment that Tauriel would not appear at all in the first film now that it’s been split in three, or if they only split the originally second part into two, meaning that Tauriel would still make an appearance toward the end of An unexpected Journey. However, a guy named Mike emailed me a few days ago, telling me that the creators of the “The Hobbit” action figures was very upset about the news of the film being split into three, as some of their action figures for characters who would not appear in the first film after all where already marked “An unexpected Journey” characters. This is supposted to be the case for Evangeline’s character’s action figure, which can be seen here. I have no confirmation on this yet, but I wanted to let you all know – as this might just meen we won’t get to see Evangeline/Tauriel at all in the first part, which is to be released next month.
- Secondly: We now have the first track from The Hobbit’s soundtrack, entitled “Radagast the Brown”! Howard Shore, who did the scores for the “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, is doing the music again, and judging by this track, we won’t have to worry about the quality of it – doesn’t it sound amazing? You can listen to it here.
- Also, four new international TV Spots have been released! None of them feature our Evangeline, but they’re still very much worth a look. Head over to this site to check them out! As they don’t feature Evi, I will not post them directly at the site – but just click the link to view them over at HeyGuys.
- Last, and possibly least, more posters have surfaced online. Again, none includes Tauriel – but just like the TV spots, they’re still worth a look. Head over here if interested.
That wraps our “The Hobbit” post for now – and as always, we promise to update y’all the minute we come across anything releated to Tauriel or Evangeline. Even if she won’t be in the first film, we can still hope she’ll attend a premiere or two! Keep checking back here at I Heart Evangeline for all the latest on Miss Lilly…
