Evangeline Lilly and Barry Humphries Join The Hobbit!

Peter Jackson announced today on Facebook that Evangeline Lilly (“LOST”) and Barry Humphries (Dame Edna) have joined the cast of “The Hobbit” films! Here is his post:

Yikes! I can finally get back to some postings! We’ve finished our first block of shooting and moved straight into location scouting. More on that soon… But today, I’m thrilled to announce two new cast members who will be joining us for our second block of shooting.

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. (…)

Evangeline and Barry, along with Welsh actor Luke Evans as Bard and Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug, just about rounds out the major casting. I cannot wait to get stuck into these new scenes! (source)

Lilly recently spoke about how she was happy to be moving on from the show. “People are excited to try on the next chapter of their lives,” she told New York Magazine. “This show is all-encompassing. We have had very little experience outside of the show during the last six years because it’s just so demanding; it requires so much of us. So, it’s exciting to have your freedom back, essentially.”

And the Golden Globe nominee, who dated costar Dominic Monaghan from 2004-2009, said that said she wanted to take a hiatus from show business for a while.

“I’m definitely planning on taking a break for a little while,” she said. “I consider acting a day job — it’s not my dream; it’s not my be-all, end-all.” (source)

Congrats to the happy couple!!

Here’s hoping she’ll get to spend a wonderful day with her loved ones!

As you can see, I also uploaded a new layout, which I don’t like very much, but I needed a switch to WordPress and this layout will do for now until I can come up with something better.
