A little while ago, Collider was also able to interview Luke Evans on his role in The Hobbit movies. He’ll be playing Bard the Bowman, who is basically, a man with a bow. So, yes, we won’t be getting a full share of Legolas this time around, but there will still be someone with a bow and arrows. For those of you who haven’t gotten your fill of heroes and heroines with bows and arrows, here’s your chance to satiate that longing once again.
Collider: How has it been going for you and how exciting it’s been for you to be involved in such a production?
Evans: It’s been immensely exciting. It feels like all the work I’ve done so far has been building up to this job and to work with the master himself on a project which has been his baby since a long time ago. I feel very lucky to be here, you know. I’m watching this being made, and then watching Pete do his thing. Because you only have to read any articles about the boys who were in the first 3 movies and how they talked about the experience being in New Zealand and working with Pete and the long period of time that you spent here. I was just very jealous of them, in a healthy way, but it was something I was envious of. And now I’m here, and now I’m actually one of those boys. I’ll always remember this as one of those experiences in my life. It’s been fantastic, absolutely fantastic. We’re here ‘till July, so I’ve still got a few months left, some insane, tense months as well. So, yeah, it’s been great.
Collider: When did you arrive in New Zealand? Because I know you’re in both parts, was this one of these things where you’re committing to being there for eight months, have you been able to leave? What’s this production schedule like?
Evans: I’ve been here since last August; I arrived August the 1st last year. But, you know, on a movie of this scale there is a lot of down time, so I’ve had chances to go home a couple of times. But this block, I’ve been here since February and I’m here ‘till the end, so this is the longest stretch for me.
