A new interview of Mary is in the latest issue of Total Film magazine and you can read all the scans in the gallery. In the interview, Mary talks briefly about being starstruck while working with Bill Murray in Charles Swan, how she came to work on Smashed and working on Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
A gigantic thanks to Megan for the wonderful scans! 🙂
Over the weekend, Mary performed at the Redbull 3Style event in Austin, Texas during the SXSW festival where she sang a new song with her friend Dan the automator. You can see pics of her performance in the gallery. Hopefully a video will be released soon.
After it’s panel at Wonder-Con, 20th Century Fox has debuted a new trailer for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Be sure to check it out below. Although there’s no Mary in it compared to the international trailer, it’s still sooooo awesome! The film will be out June 22 in 2D and 3D.
Anyone in Austin, Texas tonight of all nights? Then you’re in luck if you’re a fellow Mary fan! She’ll be performing an original song with her friend Dan the Automator at 8pm during the Redbull show! If attending, the show takes place at 8th and Trinity. If you’re headed there tonight, don’t hesitate to take pictures and videos. I will gladly add the photos and videos to the site. And the icing on the cake is that the event tonight is FREE!
Good luck tonight, Mary! Very excited to finally hear some new music from her.
Mary is featured in a couple of new magazines this month including Us Weekly in a “Who Wore it Better?” section and in the April 2012 issue of InStyle magazine. Be sure to check out the new scans in the gallery. Major thanks to kroqjock for the InStyle scan 🙂
Edit: Two new scans of Mary in the US Weekly magazine have been added to the gallery. Thanks to Stacie for the new pics!
Collider caught up with Parks and Recreation and Mary’s co-star in Smashed Nick Offerman, where he briefly talked about Smashed and believes that Mary should win some awards for her portrayal in the film:
 I’ve seen both your next films, 21 Jump Street and Smashed. You’re great in both of them, talk a little bit about getting these fun roles in these kinds of movies.
I saw the premiere of Smashed at Sundance and my wife and I were just absolutely verklempt when the lights came up. We were so moved to be in such a good film. I think James Ponsoldt did such an amazing job and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, if she doesn’t win a trophy of some sort for her performance I will eat my hat. I’ll s*** in my hat and then I’ll eat it. You can hold me to that.
Guess Nick is one of the many people who’ve seen the film and thinks Mary should win an award. I see an Oscar in Mary’s future.
The Sydney Morning Herald has released a new interview with Mary where they talk about her career including questions about The Thing, Scott Pilgrim, AL:VH, Smashed and doing theatre. You can read the full interview at the link above, but below are some of the questions asked about ALVH and future projects:
You’ve just finished shooting another film, Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter. What can you tell us about it?
It’s the story of Abraham Lincoln, the historically accurate story of his life from childhood up through the Civil War and the assassination. But it weaves in this completely fictional account of the vampires and this underworld that existed during this time and basically tells the untold story of Abraham Lincoln, that he was not only a presidential candidate and great president, but also a bad-ass vampire hunter and killer.
And you’re also appearing in Smashed, which is getting early awards talk.
I’ve been hearing those kind of things. I of course would never expect those kind of things, because if you expect those kind of things you’re building it up for disappointment. Just the fact that anyone’s even mentioned that it could possibly be part of awards season is incredible in and of itself. And just the wonderful things the critics at Sundance said, even if it ended there I would be so happy. I’m really happy that people responded well to it.
So are you sticking to smaller stuff?
Just for a little while. It feels like the right thing. I want to keep doing that for the time being. There’s a couple of films that I’m about to sign on to, or things are close, that are both very small independent type movies. I think at a certain point I’ll be ready to step back into a big studio film, but right now I’m just having fun sticking to the smaller fare.
Paper Magazine has published this new photo shoot outtake of Mary Elizabeth during the 2012 Sundance Film Festival while she was promoting Smashed this past January. Be sure to check out the pic in the gallery.
It has been announced that a panel for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter will be heading to WonderCon 2012 in Anaheim, CA. The event takes place March 16-18. Here’s the info that’s been released:
20th Century Fox: Prometheus and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter…in 3D— 20th Century Fox and WonderCon attendees have two big reasons to celebrate the year’s event. You’ll also meet this country’s 16th president and first superhero — Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, which explores the secret life of our greatest leader, and the untold story that shaped our nation. The filmmakers will screen special footage, which presents the visionary work of producer Tim Burton and director Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted), who bring a fresh and visceral voice to the classic portrayal of the bloodthirsty vampire, while imagining Lincoln as history’s greatest hunter of the undead. Ballroom, Third Level.
No word yet on who’s actually attending (likely director Timur is going). Cast wise I’m not sure, but when more info. is released, I’ll be sure to update you guys. ALVH’s panel will be on St. Patrick’s Day and take place from 1:15-2:15 pm.
