New ‘Rich Flu’ Stills and Plot Details Released

on November 3, 2024 by Jessica No Comments

Good morning, everyone! Some brand new stills of Mary in her upcoming film Rich Flu have been released as well as some new plot details.

Tidbits about the synopsis is as follows (with translation):

A new virus breaks out and wipes out the richest and most influential people in the world. Just when Laura (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) is on the verge of realizing all her dreams of social success. The executive of an up-and-coming streaming platform is accepted into the most elite circles thanks to a surprise promotion, can send her daughter Anna (Dixie Egerickx) to the most exclusive schools and no longer has to worry about finances. But the virus is cutting ever wider swathes through Western society: economic empires are faltering, the stock market collapses and widespread chaos breaks out. As all the rich try to get to safety from the metropolises, Laura also flees Europe along with her daughter, her husband (Rafe Spall) and her mother (Lorraine Bracco) on a highly risky route. But can the virus ever be far enough away?

Hopefully this means with new photos released, a trailer isn’t too far behind.

Movies News and Rumors The Hand That Rocks the Cradle

Mary Elizabeth Winstead “In Talks” For ‘Hand that Rocks the Cradle’ Reboot

on October 10, 2024 by Jessica Comments Off

As the headline states, Mary is currently in talks to join It Follows and Longlegs actress Maika Monroe in a remake of the 1992 thriller The Hand That Rocks the Cradle for 20th Century Fox.

According to Deadline, Michelle Garza Cervera will direct the pic, with Micah Bloomberg penning the script.
In the original film directed by Curtis Hanson, the ’92 film starred Rebecca de Mornay as a pregnant woman who is married to a sex offender; her husband eventually gets caught and kills himself after other victims come forward. This leads de Mornay’s character having a miscarriage, and she looks to exact revenge against one of her husband’s assault victims (Annabella Sciorra) and her family, leading to a bloody conflict between the two women. While the plot points for the new film remain hidden, the casting will see Winstead portray the part of the assault victim while Monroe will take over as the sex offender’s widow.

Mary was last seen opposite her husband Ewan McGregor in the Paramount+ series ‘A Gentleman in Moscow‘ and starring in Disney+’s Ahsoka series opposite Rosario Dawson.

What do you guys think of the news? I’m personally excited Mary is getting back into the horror/thriller genre! If you’re also curious, you can view the trailer for the original film below:

The first official poster for Mary’s upcoming film ‘Rich Flu‘ has been released courtesy of Filmax! According to the site, the upcoming thriller follows the story of a deadly virus that begins to infect the world’s richest people just as Laura (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) is at her most successful and rising professional stage. The virus seems to affect only the billionaires at first, but it soon spreads to encompass more modest wealth, forcing everyone to get rid of their fortunes. The problem is, there’s no one left to sell them to… Class struggle and pandemic sci-fi go hand in hand in this dystopia from the director of the multi-award-winning The Hole.

Starring alongside Mary, the film will also include Timothy Spall, Lorraine Bracco, Rafe Spall and Jonah Hauer-King. A release date is scheduled for January 25, 2025 in Spain.

‘Rich Flu’ to Premiere at TIFF, First Look Photo and Synopsis!

on August 29, 2024 by Jessica Comments Off

We finally have a HUGE update on Mary’s long-awaited film ‘Rich Flu’! Remember, the last update we got on this film was way back in November of 2022 when Mary was spotted filming some scenes for the upcoming movie and the news hadn’t come out until February 2023 that she was part of the cast once she replaced Rosamund Pike.

Now it has been revealed that the film will premiere at TIFF on Friday, September 6. However, that first screening will only be accessible to accredited buyers during the Festival. On the TIFF website, the film is also marked as an industry select, making it one of 10 films that go beyond the Official Selection, and are all available for worldwide acquisition.

Basically, after its screening, we’ll eventually find out what studio picks it up to distribute it. In the meantime, the first official photo of Mary in the film has been released, and I have added the full-sized photo in the gallery.

The film’s full plot is as follows:

A strange and unexpected disease is taking the lives of the world’s wealthiest and most influential people. First, the billionaires die, then the multi-millionaires, and so on progressively. The pandemic threatens to reach anyone with any kind of fortune. No one knows where the limit is. At first, the masses joyfully welcome the disappearance of great fortunes, but as the collapse of their economic empires affects the stock market, employment, and economic stability, chaos takes over the First World.

So excited to finally hear some news about it!

Mary and Ewan Spotted at Children’s Hospice Center

on August 26, 2024 by Jessica Comments Off

Now that Mary and Ewan spend part of their time living in Scotland, the married couple have been spotted around the country. Most recently, the two stopped by Rachel House children’s hospice in Kinross. Ewan, who was also accompanied by brother Colin and his wife Sarah, was given a tour of the hospice by CHAS CEO Rami Okasha before meeting five children with life-shortening conditions who are supported by the charity.

One of the mothers of the families Ewan visited had this to say after meeting Mary and Ewan:

“He came over for a wee visit with his wife Mary and they were both so lovely. Freya is having a BIPAP trial and he came in to see us. They spent a bit of time chatting to us and he was really interested in Freya’s trial.”

“My oldest daughter Katie was there as well so she was really excited to meet his wife, she was a big fan of her films when she was younger. Katie loved watching Robots when she was little – Ewan McGregor did the voiceover for that so she was pretty excited to meet him too.

“Ewan was very interested in us and as he was leaving, he touched Freya’s hand and said ‘Bye Freya’ and it was such a lovely gesture.

“They were both such lovely people, they really took an interest in us and Freya.”

Ewan spent time chatting with all parents and later treated families, staff and volunteers to an impromptu singsong in the lounge area.

You can view photos of their visit in the gallery and donate/learn more about the charity here.
