Does the new still of Evangeline Lily as the elf Tauriel provide a clue as to where "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" will end?


     I have to say ever since "Lost" ended I kind of feel like Christopher Walken on SNL.  "Guess what?!  I've got a fever!  And the only prescription is more cowbell!"  Except in this case cowbell means Evangeline Lily.  While she's been in a few things (The Hurt Locker, Reel Steel) the woman who played Kate on maybe the best show of the last 20 years has been mostly off the radar.
     That's likely to change very shortly as Lily can be seen in this December's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey as the elf Tauriel.  Although Lily states that her role is very small in the first film, she will get much more time in the second and third movies.  However, despite the fact that I'm captivated by the idea of Lily starring as a hot elf, it did get me thinking about where exactly The Hobbit:  An Unexpected Journey is going to end.
     While Tauriel is not a creation of Tolkien she is an elf of Mirkwood.  Consequently, if we believe Lily about her role in the film, this suggests that (spoiler alert!) the first film will not end until the dwarves and Bilbo are captured by the elves of the woodland realm.  Although it is always possible that she shows up in Rivendell earlier in the film.  Right now it's just speculation.  On that note here's another picture of Evangeline Lily:
