I'm neutral toward Tauriel until I see the film, but the PR team is doing her no favors when they slap that much makeup on E Lilly, especially when she's photoshopped into a collage with a bunch of more natural-looking characters.
"After all, I believe that legends and myths are largely made of 'truth', and indeed present aspects of it that can only be received in this mode; and long ago certain truths and modes of this kind were discovered and must always reappear." Professor Tolkien, 1951

The way Thorin looks in that article is how they wish he looked in the films!

They never quite got there with Thorin's look. I'm not saying his look is bad...just that the vision of it is better than the execution. That photoshopped representation is how he should look!

don't speak Italian, but think RA was saying one of his favorite scenes is the confrontation with Thranduil - cool, looking forward to that since the blog footage.

I've always said she's wearing far too much make-up, with the lipstick clashing with the orange hair. She looks older than all the other characters (apart from Gandalf, of course).

One blogger, Microlina, has translated The interview with Richard Armitage on her tumblr:
http://microlina.tumblr.com/...n-italian-best-movie
Part of her translation:
Which is your fave scene?
“Without any doubt the confrontation between Thorin and Thranduil. Thorin tells him everything he thinks about him, it’s his way to give vent to the rage and helplessness he can’t pour on Smaug. It’s a wonderfully written sequence, without special effects: only two actors face to face.”

Here's another one done by 'Cristina' and put up by RichardArmitageNet:

I hadn't realised that they used CGI to make his head look bigger.
He talks about 'madness' and not 'dragon sickness'. This ties in with the scene in the EE. What a pity they cut that scene out!
I am really looking forward to the scene between Thorin and Thranduil - just two actors confronting each other. After Bilbo's scene with Smaug, I bet this runs a close second. There's nothing like the simple interaction between two characters.

Love this "This is not a franchise, it’s one and only story: if 20 films were needed to tell it, I wouldn’t get bored to act as Thorin in all 20”. E.g. love when actors are really into what they are doing and believe in it. (Yes, and I wish there WERE 20 films personally with lots of Thorin and dwarves....)
Thorin and Thranduil? Two epic kings facing off? I am SO going to be at this movie opening day. Center of row, close to the front.

RA's interview just made me about 10 times more excited to see DOS! The confrontations between Thorin/Thranduil and Bilbo/Smaug sound like they'll be so epic!
My favorite speech from the entire LOTR series: Sam:“It’s like in the great stories Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn’t want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was after so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come and when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those are the stories that stayed with you, that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand, I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances at turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going because they were holding on to something.” Frodo: “What are we holding on to, Sam?” Sam: “That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it’s worth fighting for!”
