Evangeline Lilly, who shot to fame as the hottest chick not yet killed off on 'Lost', will make her feature film debut some time in 2008. She will appear with John Malkovich and Romain Duris in the supernatural thriller Afterwards. The combination French/Canadian production will be directed by Gilles Bourdos, who is presumably French, or else his parents have a weird sense of humor.
The Hollywood Reporter says that the movie is based on Guillaume Musso’s novel “Et après…” My guess is that book is also French. At one point Forest Whitaker was rumored to be getting the role that Romain Duris will play, a workaholic lawyer who meets a mysterious doctor. The doctor (to be played by Malkovich) claims to be able to predict people’s deaths. Lilly will play the lawyer’s wife and will look damn good doing it.
I really hope that this works out for Lilly. Sometimes we forget that she was literally a nobody when she was cast for 'Lost' and despite some hiccups in the plot, her performance has always been excellent. I think she should have had bigger choices for her first film, based on her success with 'Lost', so maybe there is something special about this film. Or, maybe not, it’s really too early to tell. But we hope Kate sees some success on the big screen.
