I haven't seen any of the trailers, but I read somewhere that they were adding a female Elf to the company, because it was too much of a sausage-fest. Please, please, please tell me that it's not true. It was bad enough that PJ added elves to the Battle of Helm's Deep. Most Jacksonisms I can live with, but changing the fundamental makeup of the company by adding an entirely new character is just too much.
If I remember the hobbit correctly, that's going to pretty well F up the script WRT the dwarve / elve racial tensions.
Couldn't they have just added a teenage female human with a crossbow without screwing up the story too much? I heard all fantasy-type movies are now required to have one of those in the cast.
Are they really adding an Elf to the company? (Score:0)

Captcha is "ranting". Am I, really?
