New ‘Rich Flu’ Stills and Plot Details Released
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.

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