Some journalists and news sites are invited to participate hobbits dates back to 2012 (while filming) but was only allowed to be published with The destruction of Smaug. So now we can give some insight into how different Bloom’s performance as the blonde Stoic elf warrior (or rather, ARE NOT other) from his turn to ring Movie – in addition to information about Why This role is included hobbits Movie – Straight from the lion’s mouth (pronounced: bloom).
Legolas does not appear in the works of Tolkien hobbits document source; however, by the author ring A trilogy of appendices and supplemental materials on the history of Middle-earth – some of which have been combined hobbits Jackson’s film plot with co-writers Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens reveals that Legolas got its start right when Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) and his fellow dwarves from The Lonely Mountain existed before the dragon. Smaug (voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch) gets it back. Also, the first person hobbits The work sets the stage for Legolas’ return in the sequel, with his father, King Thranduil (Lee Pace), appearing briefly in the prologue.

When asked if Legolas is significantly different The destruction of Smaug with time ring trio (about his character and personality), Bloom replied “ARE NOT,” He then delves deeper into how the film portrays the elven companions of his Woodlard kingdom — and the relationship between Legolas and his father.
To quote the actor (from collider):
“Basically, the elves of the woods are the home of Legolas, and my father is Thranduil, king of goblins, a special kind of goblin that Tolkien described… I won’t quote him exactly. but they’re not the same as the elves Lothlórien and Rivendell, they’re more aggressive, if you will.
“…this is an introduction to elves in the woods. Obviously, we meet my father Thranduil, a very powerful and powerful character, and he has a very specific idea of what elves are. Who, especially the jungle, are the elves. Like I said, they’re a bunch of warriors, the forest elves. So I think Pete and Philippa and Fran and the opportunity that the screenwriters and Pete see. is to create — I think Legola Wes is very excited to come back. They feel that fans will be thrilled to see Legolas in Woodlands and have the opportunity to create a dynamic father and son, prince and king pair that will be the next generation. fun and serves the story.”
Bloom also addressed concerns about Legolas being in the mix. hobbits The trilogy feels a bit like fan service and/or an unnecessary attempt to strengthen the connection between these and the movies. ring Movie.When asked if he was hesitant to reprise the role of Legolas in Star Wars The destruction of Smaug (except for the third stage, there again) So Bloom replied:
“Not after I talked to Peter. I explained their thoughts and they made it clear to me how seamless and effective it would be. Not after I had that conversation. It’s absolutely whatever people think about.” …have a great love for these books, these movies, these stories. I think, at Peter’s hand, I want the fans to be reassured that he’s coming out with an interesting and engaging movie, and that fits with Tolkien’s vision for the story. They never strayed too far from Tolkien’s vision of the world, and it’s exciting for me to think about going back to Middle-earth and being a part of something. That’s Pete’s style, doing what he’s best at. So it’s very interesting. “
Legolas and Thranduil’s relationship The destruction of Smaug Can serve as an interesting shield to Thorin Oakenshield’s (Richard Armitage) overarching character arc; ai, judging by the second trailer hobbits In the film, he becomes increasingly obsessed with recapturing Erebor from Smaug and correcting the mistakes his father king made years ago. That said, Thorin is willing to sacrifice the lives of those around him, including his new teammate Bilbo (after the events). an unexpected journey).
In fact, based on Bloom’s comment about Legolas’ attitude towards dwarves hobbits In the film (i.e. decades before his brotherhood with Gimli), the actions of Thorin and his companions only reinforce the forest elves’ prejudice against them – but does that lead to some mean dwarves roaming around?
Joking aside, here are Bloom’s more serious thoughts on the subject:
“There will be some other interesting dwarves moments. I don’t want to reveal too much, but there will be some interesting interactions. It’s different, because as pointed out earlier, relationship-love You grow. The relationship between Golas and Gimli has grown over the course of the three movies. I’ve seen more dwarves, as I saw before joining Elrond’s council, that are fundamentally important to me. as an elf Full of scorn, believing their purpose is in life. nothing of the sort, there’s bound to be some laughs and moments of fun.”
