Exciting news Evangeline is joining the new 'Hobbit' movie . Her casting was confirmed by Director Peter Jackson on his official facebook page-

Evangeline Lilly will be playing a new character—the Woodland Elf, Tauriel. Her name means 'daughter of Mirkwood' and, beyond that, we must leave you guessing! (No, there is no romantic connection to Legolas.) What is not a secret is how talented and compelling an actress Evangeline is; we are thrilled and excited she will be the one to bring our first true Sylvan Elf to life.

I'm so happy and exicting for her right now! But it is kind of wierd considering her ex Dom was in LOTR and is very good friends with Peter Jackson, Orlando Bloom and Elijah Wood .

Wow, this is great! I had read some rumors earlier but I didn't believe them, but with confirmation from Peter Jackson himself, its obviously true.

The Hobbit movie is being divided into 2 parts, do we know if she will be in both movies or just one?

 

[Penny Lane]

omg that's so awesome!!!
She's gonna be a great elf, she has that sort of good look to pull it off

 

[funkystar]

Ever since Lost first started everyone kept saying that Evangeline had Elf-like facial features and now she's been cast as an Elf..thats so cool!

 

[Penny Lane]

Totally!

This is gonna be a really huge thing for her. And we're probably gonna get tons of red carpet pictures from premieres and stuff, I can't wait!

 

[funkystar]

^ITA, i'm already shaking with excitement!

so much for retiring from acting eh?

 

[Jenna16]

I don't think she ever really said that. She just said she would like to take some time off from acting and the press blew it out of proportion

 

[Brazilian Girl]

That's great news!! But it will be kind of weird. I'm a huge LOTR and Lost fan... So it will be kind of like these two worlds are coming together (especially because I've only ever seen Evi playing Kate), and I don't really know how this whole thing is going to sink in for me

You know what I find awesome? Evi was actually a huge LOTR fan before she was cast in LOST, she said so herself a few times. She must have been so excited

Yeah, I remember her saying that. She also said that since she was such a huge LOTR fan, she was starstruck by Dom when she first met him

 

[Alvedansen]

^that's adorable

congrats to her, she really fits that role

 

[Jenna16]

I've was reading the sparknotes summery of the Hobbit (because its been over 10 years since I read the book and I forget a lot), and the elves of Mirkwood seem to have an important role in the story. My guess is that we will meet Evi's character in part 1 but she will have a much bigger role in part 2.

 

[funkystar]

I have never read any of the books or watched any of the LOTR movies so I have no idea about the plot but it would be great if she is in both movies (more screen time yay!! ) especially if she's an important character like you say.

On second thoughts I think i watched the first LOTR movie but fell asleep half way through . I should probably give it another go considering Evangeline is now going to be in the Hobbit.

 

[Jenna16]

I always found the first LOTR film to be long and boring. I actually called in "Bored of the Rings." But I thought that the second and the third movies were really good.

It's kinda confusing. The elves of Mirkwood have a major role in the story, but they are just portrayed as one big group of elves, rather than individual characters. Tolkein never individualized any of them. They did not even have names. However, Peter Jackson wants to develop the elves more and create some individual characters. So if Evi is the main elf, that the film focuses on, then she should have a decent role in the film.

Here's an article that kinda explains it: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/gossip/2011/06/evangeline-lilly-the-hobbit-peter-jackson.html

Thanks for the link Jenna

I found the article where Evi said she was a huge LotR fan...cute!!

Actress Evangeline Lilly failed to recognize her future boyfriend Dominic Monaghan at the auditions for TV series Lost, despite being a "die-hard Lord of the Rings fan".

Lilly only realized the British actor was one of her favorite hobbits in the JRR Tolkien saga when she heard him talking authoritatively about the movie.

She says, "I remember my first audition in LA and I was sitting in a room with him. I'm a die-hard Lord Of The Rings fan, but I had no idea who he was.

No idea, I saw him and thought, 'Huh, that guys is kind of familiar. That's really odd.'

"An hour later, I was still waiting to go in, because that's the way those auditions are, and somebody made a comment about Lord Of The Rings. And he started talking like he knew all about it.

"So, I was thinking, 'Who are you?' And all of a sudden it clued in, oh my goodness, you were Merry in Lord Of The Rings!"

I also found another article where she said that she always want to move to New Zealand and raise her family there ...

Lilly, who turns 28 on August 3, says she has wanted to come to New Zealand ever since she was taught by a Kiwi school teacher as a 14-year-old.

“He went home for Christmas, brought back a slideshow, told us all about his country. I fell in love. I swore on that day that I would move here and raise my kids in New Zealand.”
