Lost alum Evangeline Lilly may have just given birth to her son a few months ago but the actress is getting back to work as she's just joined the cast of Peter Jackson's 'The Hobbit'.
Jackson took to his Facebook page to announce the good news and wrote:
“Evangeline Lilly will be playing a new character — the Woodland Elf, Tauriel,” Peter wrote. “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.”The movie, which is prequel to The Lord of the Rings trilogy will be released in 2 parts in December 2012 and December 2013.
