those 3 are only for Part I?

I don't know how many people are assuming she will be in part I.

I think the 3 blocks of filming are for both movies but im not sure.

I think she will have a small role in the first movie, possibly at the end just to introduce the character then a bigger role in the 2nd movie.

They probably are for both films. With LOTR they filmed all 3 at once then just came back for pick-ups.

I guess we won't know if she's in both until someone working on the films confirms it, and we don't even know how big a role the character will be. :s

Official Hobbit Casting Call For Elves

An official casting call for Elves in the upcoming Hobbit films has been posted at TradeMe.co.nz.

The production is looking for “slim” people to play Elf extras. Details can be found over at the link provided above, but the basic brief is as follows:

Men must be aged 17 – 30 with a height of 165 cm – 178 cm.
Women must be aged 17 – 30 with a height of 165cm – 173cm.

The advert states that filming is due in Wellington in September.

With filming of the elf extras due in September I assume that this is when Evi starts filming too...which is only a few weeks away.

Those are good news for the people who can become an extra! I would like to, but I'm shorter and live too far away! Haha , anyway, thanks for sharing!

Tati, did you? In a movie? That's awesome . I just was an extra in a tv commercial once but nobody can recognize me from the "crowd" that can be seen on it

[tatibsblp]

yeah the filming (well part of it) were in my school so basically every kid who wanted to stay extra hours and go on Saturday were extras.

and of course I was happy to go to school on Saturday

Im not sure whether I should start a new thread or a separate spoiler thread for when Evi talks about her character Mods you can put this wherever you want -

Spoiler -

Snotty elves: Evangeline Lilly makes a welcome return to the screen as Hugh Jackman's long-suffering girlfriend in Real Steel, but she's now shooting The Hobbit in New Zealand, playing a powerful elf character. Let's just say these guys are not your adorable Frodo-and- Sam-variety hobbits.

"The key to playing an elf is to be extremely poised and snotty," said Lilly, breaking into laughter. "Yes, they have airs about them. They have to be better than everyone else. Especially the Sylvan elves, like I play."
Lilly says the elves are "not mean," but are "dark" and "very severe." So, don't expect little Keebler cookies.

Synopsis

"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" follows title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakensheild. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers. Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever ... Gollum. Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths ofguile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities ... A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.
