Will Evangeline Lilly Quit Acting After ‘Lost’

37300PCN_LastLost

This is actress Evangeline Lilly getting cheeky while signing autographs at ABC’s season six premiere party for “Lost.” The festivities were held at Waikiki beach and drew an estimated 15,000 fans (click here to see gallery).

Lilly plays fugitive Kate Austin on the show, but you probably already knew that. What you may not know is that the 30-year-old stunner plans to retire from acting after “Lost.”

Lilly recently told E! Online:

I love this process so much. I love tellling stories and I love this unbelievable group effort that goes into it and I love the dynamic of what a film does when people watch it, the inspirational qualities of film. So, I have a feeling I will want to have my fingers in the pot somehow and somewhere. I just haven’t found where that is yet.

Acting is something I appreciate, and I think it’s been an amazing experience, but I’m not passionate about acting the way you probably should be to call yourself an actor. I want to have some quiet space. [I want to] drop off the radar a little bit and enjoy a little bit of normalcy again.

Hmm. Contemplating retirement is easy when you’re sitting on a mountain of cash. Let’s hope Lilly has an unemployed boyfriend or secret coke addiction that forces her back to acting, preferably in roles that require plenty of bikinis.

Zombies Get Animated in ‘A.D.’

ad

Director Ben Hibon and writer Haylar Garcia are looking to breathe new life into the zombie genre with the animated post-apocalyptic feature A.D. Bernie Goldmann (George Romero’s Land of the Dead, 300) and Tarik Heitmann (The Cursed) are producing.

Hibon’s tells Zombie Info:

We set out to create a visual universe that distinguished itself from the classic zombie formula. Translating Haylar’s script into animation was the first step to making this project unique. Animation very rarely ventures into mature and dark territories. It’s very important to define a strong and bold look for this movie, create our own visual benchmark. A.D. has definitely its very own identity that serves the purpose of the movie; it’s stylised and graphical, but very gritty and textured just like the reality and the world the story is set in.

The project is far from complete, but you can peep the following trailer now:

The beginning of the end for the Emmy award-winning sci-fi serial “Lost” kicked off last night with a two-hour mind-blowing premiere episode that showcased characters living parallel lives … or as the show’s producers are calling it “flash sideways.”

The show’s ratings, which had declined as its mythos grew more intricate, increased for the first time since season two’s debut, drawing in 12.1 million viewers. The “Lost” clip-show special brought in 9.9 million viewers.

“Lost” co-creators and producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse joined Jimmy Kimmel last night to discuss the show’s premiere and answer what sequences were coincidence or intentional.

Lindelof and Cuse also talked about a recent “Lost” art show and announced that Sunday, May 23 will be the show’s end date.

ABC held a premiere party for cast, crew and fans of “Lost” on Saturday at Waikiki Beach. The event provided an estimated 15,000 Losties the opportunity to meet and chat up stars Michael Fox, Josh Holloway, Evangeline Lilly, Terry O’Quinn, Michael Emmerson, Naveen Andrews, Jorge Garcia, Nestor Carbonell, Harold Perrineau, Daniel Dae Kim, Yunjin Kim, Henry Ian Cusick, Jeff Fahey, and Ken Leung.

Award-winning director Drew Daywalt has written and directed some of the most twisted and disturbingly creepy film shorts in horror (Bedfellows is particularly frightening). Daywalt’s latest is a fun little shocker called Suicide Girl, starring sexy 24-year-old newcomer Brooke Wolfe (pictured above).

Check it out:

Daywalt is one of the founding members behind the indie-horror troupe Fewdio. He recently completed a 17-episode web series entitled Camera Obscura for MGW Entertainment (release date still pending).

Don’t know much about Brooke Wolfe, but the following gallery makes me want to:
