Next Movie Names Mary as One of Fall 2011’s Biggest Breakout Stars

Next Movie compiled a list of 15 actors and actresses who they believe will be the biggest fall breakout stars of 2011. Among them was our very own Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Here’s what they had to say about her:

In this prequel to John Carpenter’s terrifying 1982 movie, Winstead takes a flamethrower to her “Scott Pilgrim” alter ego Ramona Flowers, not to mention a whole buttload of slimy, gooey, awful aliens. While we loved Ramona’s cool style and multicolored hair, it’s great to see Winstead as a parka-wearing scientist caught in the middle of an increasingly horrific situation. (Not to mention that Carpenter’s “The Thing” was all dudes, all the time.) We’ll be seeing more of Winstead next summer as Mary Todd Lincoln in Timur Bekmambetov’s big screen adaptation of “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,” alongside Benjamin Walker, Dominic Cooper, and Anthony Mackie. So protect your neck — Ms. Winstead’s coming.

Mary’s star has always shined, it’s only a matter of time until the rest of Hollywood and the rest of the world notices if you ask me. Best wishes to Mary and her career. 🙂

John Moore Official Director For Die Hard 5

John Moore (Max Payne) is now the official director for the fifth installment of the Die Hard series.

A draft of the script was written by Skip Woods (The A-Team, X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and is described as sending John McClane and his son to Russia. No word on who will portray his son.

Willis is of course returning and even though Mary Elizabeth Winstead played McClane’s daughter in Live Free or Die Hard, her character’s brother was only briefly mentioned. His character has not been seen since Noah Land played him in the original Die Hard.

Production will start soon, on location in Russia. (Source)

So apparently Mary won’t return as Lucy Gennaro McClane as many fans had hoped for. 🙁

Mary Starring in A New Short film, Magnificat!

Fantastic news, everyone! Mary’s husband, Riley Stearns, has announced that he has written and will be directing a new short film entitled Magnificat. Here’s what Riley posted:

My name is Riley Stearns. I’ve decided to create a tumblr (did I spell that correctly?) to keep people up to date with the goings on of a film I wrote and will be directing called “magnificat” starring the lovely and talented Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

I hope to post pictures, video, and audio here from time to time and give those curious a look into the making of the film. Until then, this bland introductory post will have to do.

Be sure to follow the film’s Tumblr for updates over at http://magnificatfilm.tumblr.com/

This is really exciting news and I for one cannot wait to see the progress on the film. The very best of luck to Mary, Riley and everyone else involved in the film! 🙂
