She followed this by appearing in supporting roles including Inventing the Abbotts (1997) and Robert Altman's black comedy "Cookie's Fortune" (1999).

Tyler achieved international recognition as a result of her portrayal of Elf maiden Arwen Undómiel in the "Lord of the Rings" film trilogy (2001–2003). She has appeared in an eclectic range of films, including the 2004 comedy "Jersey Girl", the indie film "Lonesome Jim" (2005), the drama "Reign Over Me" (2007) and big-budget studio films such as "Armageddon" (1998), the home invasion horror film "The Strangers" (2008) and "The Incredible Hulk" (2008).
