All Eyes on Australian actress

Lovely local Emilie de Ravin – hails from close to the Morris compound, caught up with her a month or two back – is hitching a tug off that Island – um, she stars on "Lost" – to make a flick.

According to Variety, Everyone’s favourite Castaway Mamma will lead the cast of Fox Searchlight’s "Hills Have Eyes" remake, joining the already-locked Kathleen Quinlan, Aaron Stanford, Ted Levine and Vinessa Shaw.

No word on whether she’ll be keeping her ever-so-distinctive Australian accent for the role. She’s played an American before, Tess on TV’s "Roswell", so it’s possibly she’ll be wearing the trousers of a stateside resident here again.
