With director James Gunn’s Super opening April 1, I was able to sit down with most of the cast this morning to talk about the film. Next week I’ll be posting the full interviews, but I wanted to get what Liv Tyler said about The Strangers 2 and The Hobbit online today.
As some of you are aware, the first Strangers was made for under $10 million and it went on to make over $80 million at the worldwide box office. With that kind of success, it’s no surprise that Rogue Pictures has been talking about making a sequel. Early reports pegged Liv Tyler returning and that filming could begin this year. However, Tyler told me, “I don’t know anything about…they’ve been talking about it forever and I know there is a screenplay that Bryan Bertino wrote which I’ve read part of but not the whole…I don’t know if it’s ever going to happen. Bryan is not directing it and I’m not really in it. I’d have to decide, but it’s not about me.”
Regarding The Hobbit, with a number of original cast members coming back, and yesterday’s press release saying that more cast members would be announced, I wondered if we might see Arwen (Tyler’s character in Lord of the Rings) return for even a few moments in either Hobbit film. According to Tyler, “I haven’t heard from anybody.” She also didn’t know that filming began today. More after the jump.
While I could try and paraphrase what Tyler told me, I suggest watching it for yourself. She was a great interview and she even sang when I asked what’s her go to karaoke song. Again, look for the full interview next week.

This interviewer knows even less. They are doing two movies because they are including all the events surrounding the Hobbit including The White Council driving Sauron out of Dol Goldur. Also Aragorn and Arwen meet for the first time roughly around the time of the Hobbit so it would be easy to include them in it.
Ive no idea if you have read the book and i dont know if the films will even be that close to it …but Aragorn isnt even born when the events in The Hobbit take place,so though Arwen could possibly appear without a major change taking place ..for Aragorn it a very different matter
oopssy sorry there Aragorn was 10yrs old when the Hobbit took place
my bad
I lover her!!! She seems like such an awesome, down-to-earth person!!! I hope she’s in the Hobbit…
awwh shes so sweet..wish she was in the hobbit..love with what she did as arwin in lotr.
Ai! Aníron Liv Undómiel. Every time I look at you, a part of my soul is dead.
Their was more than enough Arwen in LOTR, but it would be cool to see a small, key word small cameo. Arwen in the films came to be less a character than a plot device that ate time out of the main plot of the film, and took all the thunder from Eoywn, the actual badass, dynamic, female character in the books.
