Access Hollywood recently caught up with actress Evangeline Lilly. The brief interview was completely centric on the two upcoming films, 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' and 'The Hobbit: There and Back Again.' Talking about her time in New Zealand, (where the film is shooting) she said:


"We've been working out there for about a month now. And working with [director] Pete Jackson is super inspiring. The amount of support they provide for actors as far as every single aspect of your acting: I have a dialect coach, I have a motion coach, I have a language coach, I have a stunts coach. So, I should by rights be great. But if I fuck up, it's my fault, because there was so much support for me in New Zealand."

On the dialect she mentioned, she said:


"I have to speak in RP, which is like a neutral English accent. And then I also have to speak Elvish."

She's asked to give some examples of Elvish and does oblige, but that's very difficult to transcribe, so you're out of luck.

Even though the two 'Hobbit' films are based on the novel from author J. R. R. Tolkien, that doesn't mean that the studio is free with the script. Of the security measures, Lilly explained:


"I can't tell you what the story is. My scripts for this film got left in the production office when I came here. I was not bringing them with me. They were keeping them under lock and key. They have a safe that they keep them in."

On her character, Tauriel, she said:


"I am scared. I am very scared. Be nice to me. Because my character is actually not in 'The Hobbit.' [the novel] My character is an invention of Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens. So, either fans are going to love her or absolutely despise and be bitter towards her because she's not authentic. Although, I believe she is truly authentic, because Tolkien refers to the Woodland Elves, he just doesn't talk about who they are specifically. And all those people -- Jackson, Fran and Phil -- they know that world so well that they're not going to create a character that is not true to Tolkien's world."

'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' hits theaters this holiday season on December 14, 2012.
