Mary’s New Film to Premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival

The previously untitled Chris Messina project that Mary worked on last summer, now titled Alex of Venice will be premiering at the 13th annual Tribeca Film Festival.

The film is described as follows:

Workaholic environmental attorney Alex (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) has always relied on her husband George (Chris Messina) to take the reins at home. But when he unexpectedly asks for a break, his departure forces Alex to reevaluate her life as she juggles the care of her son and needs of an aspiring-actor father (Don Johnson), all amid the most important case of her life. Actor Chris Messina steps behind the camera for his directorial debut about a woman pushed to the edge who finds the strength to press on.

The Festival will take place from April 16th to April 27th in New York City.

Claire is under the grip of a mysterious cult. Desperate to be reunited with their daughter, Claire’s parents set out to recruit Ansel Roth, one of the world’s foremost authorities on mind control. But Ansel’s specialty, deprogramming cult members and returning them to their families, is not an exact science. Now, even his own book publisher is looking to break his legs. Ansel kidnaps Claire, who reveals herself to be a formidable challenge; her belief is unshakeable and her logic is undeniable. A battle of wits develops between the two as they delve deeper and deeper into each others minds.

A.C.O.D. DVD Release Date

ET Online has revealed when A.C.O.D. will hit shelves next year. Continue reading to find out all the details!

Parks and Recreation stars Adam Scott and Amy Poehler share the big screen with an all-star roster in the divorce comedy A.C.O.D., making its debut on Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand January 14, 2014 (and available on Digital January 3) from Paramount Home Media Distribution.

The A.C.O.D. Blu-ray includes access to a digital copy of the film as well as the following special features: Amy Poehler Outtakes; Cast & Crew Discussion; and fun Public Service Announcements: Coping with A.C.O.D.; Be Proud to be an A.C.O.D.; Have You Seen a Shaman?; Are You Awesome?; Commitment-Phobic?; and What Does A.C.O.D. Stand For?
A.C.O.D. stands for Adult Children of Divorce. The film follows Scott’s character, Carter, a successful and well-adjusted adult as he attempts to reunite his bitterly divorced parents (acrimoniously played by Richard Jenkins and Catherine O’Hara in spot-on performances) for the sake of his younger brother’s (Clark Duke) somewhat abrupt wedding plans. Despite having a solid relationship with his supportive girlfriend (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), Carter finds distraction in another woman (Jessica Alba) and the chaos of the whole situation threatens to derail his sanity.

Poehler plays the young wife of Carter’s father who is pretty much the same age as him, and Jane Lynch adds additional comic relief as a therapist who uses Carter’s case as fodder for her books. The film is directed by Stuart Zicherman (ABC’s Six Degrees) and co-written by Zicherman and Modern Family producer/writer Ben Karlin.

Remember! The Spectacular Now will also hit shelves on January 14 so it’ll be a great day to buy Mary’s latest films! 🙂 Which one are you guys looking most forward to owning?
