In fact, starting at around the 22-minute mark he flirts around one of the livewire topics for The Desolation of Smaug (highlight below to read potential <font color=\"red\">movie spoilers<\/font>) &#8212; <font color=\"white\">the persistently rumoured Tauriel-Legolas romance. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>With elves that live forever, that are eternal beings, I was thinking about how they would feel about other people. And I think that depth of feeling is something that can&#8217;t really be &#8230; is sort of a really unique thing.<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s not as obvious as like, in Romeo and Juliet: let me kiss you, because I&#8217;m in love with you.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s more &#8212; I think there&#8217;s a different thing to that. So that romance that you talk of that you talk of, that&#8217;s alluded to &#8230; is alluded to as opposed to actualised.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Not sure whether that&#8217;s reassuring for those sitting in the anti-romance camp, or not. However, TORn Staffer MrCere suggested in the TORn trailer analysis that: &#8220;Despite the hints dropped in this trailer, I suspect Legolas will admire more than overtly be romantically involved with Tauriel.&#8221;<\/font><\/p>\n<p>So there you go! <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><center><iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" data-src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/r0RtsAiOKl4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Orlando Bloom stopped by the EW offices last week to chat about his new role in a Broadway&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":80458,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1300,4,57,148,1911,1912],"tags":[2190],"class_list":["post-80457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hobbit-cast-news","category-hobbit-movie","category-bloom","category-hobbit","category-the-hobbit-the-desolation-of-smaug","category-the-hobbit-there-and-back-again","tag-romeo-and-juliet"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/rj-broadway.jpeg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1tLoH-kVH","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80457"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80457\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":80467,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80457\/revisions\/80467"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/80458"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
