MTV recently caught up with Mary at the Toronto International Film Festival and interviewed Mary about Smashed. In the interview, she talked about watching the film develop, how to laugh at alcoholism, and the reactions from real addicts. You can view the video below:

With TIFF officially over, Canada.com has picked its top picks from the festival, and SMASHED is among the list. Here’s what they had to say:
Too often, films about addiction veer into heavy melodrama or turn into sensational shockfests. Here’s a look at alcoholism that’s grounded by a moving naturalism, even as its flawed heroine spirals through after-work benders that go from hilarious to sad to frightening. Mary Elizabeth Winstead delivers a career-making performance as a young schoolteacher who realizes she’s lost control of her drinking. The stellar supporting cast includes “Breaking Bad”‘s Aaron Paul as her enabling husband, “Parks and Recreation”‘s Nick Offerman as her sympathetic co-worker and Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer as her AA sponsor.
Also, Lionsgate and Miramax have announced the Tarantino XX: 8-Film Collection, coming to Blu-ray on November 20th. On the Death Proof disc, we’ll see an uncut version of Mary singing “Baby It’s You”. Here’s the details:
DEATH PROOF
Kurt Russell stars as a tough-talking, psychotic serial murderer who transforms his stunt car into an indestructible killing machine, then climbs behind the wheel to stalk and terrorize a group of women on the road. What he doesn’t realize is that he’s picked the wrong babes to mess with.Blu-ray Special Features*
* Stunts on Wheels: The Legendary Drivers of Death Proof

Mary Elizabeth Winstead has insisted she did not expect another Die Hard film.
The Smashed star is reprising her role as John McClane’s daughter Lucy in Bruce Willis’ fifth movie about the disaster-saving cop.
She said: “It’s a very brief appearance but it was really fun to reprise the father-daughter rapport.” She continued by saying:
“I keep thinking it’s got to be the last one, I thought the last one was gonna be the last one. So who knows… as long as Bruce is still up for it, I’m sure they’ll keep making them.”
Also, THR has posted a new online interview with Mary and her Smashed director James Ponsoldt.
The pics keep on coming from TIFF! I’ve added a couple of new event photos of Mary at some TIFF related parties. First, I added 2 new pics of Mary at the TIFF Mongrel event, and then from the “Smashed” after party courtesy of Hollywood-elsewhere. Additionally, I’ve uploaded over 200 caps of Mary’s appearance in the latest episode of “The Beauty Inside”. If you still haven’t seen it, click here.

A couple of more video interviews with Mary from yesterday’s TIFF premiere for Smashed have been released online, and I’ve posted them below. Also, in another new interview, Aaron Paul talked about working with Mary on the film and their on-screen chemistry.
There’s also one more interview here and here.
CS: Did you spend some time with Mary Elizabeth beforehand to build the relationship?
Paul: Yeah, yeah, before they officially offered it to me, they set up a meeting with Mary and I and we met at this restaurant slash bar and just kinda talked and felt each other out and we hit it off. You know, I’m such a huge fan of hers and I couldn’t wait for a project like this to kinda come her way because I thought she really deserved it. I always knew that she was super-talented, but she just needed the right project to be able to kinda spread her wings and this is just that and she’s brilliant.CS: I’ve been a big fan of hers a long time and I’ve met her a few times, and I remember seeing her work in “The Thing” and how much she put into the role, but unfortunately movies are a director’s medium and I don’t think some of the more dramatic work she was doing made the movie.
Paul: Yeah, I mean, what’s going to hit the cutting room floor and make the film, but it was so great because she just really stayed in character pretty much the entire time, which must’ve been so exhausting for her. Then, that was exhausting for me.
The past 24 hrs have been so crazy! In a good way of course. Yesterday was the TIFF premiere of Smashed and I’ve uploaded over 100 photos of Mary at the premiere with her co-stars. Check out all the pics in the gallery! The majority of them are in HQ. Loved the dress Mary wore. She looked so lovely.

Below you’ll also find a video of Mary being interviewed on the red carpet at yesterday’s premiere:
We already know that Mary’s been working on an album with Dan the Automator for some time now (see here and here), and with Mary giving interviews during the premiere of Smashed last night at TIFF, Indiewire got some more scoop about Winstead’s upcoming album:
“It’s kind of random,” she told us. “I’ve always been a singer, I’ve always loved to sing. I never really thought I’d do an album, though, I never wanted to be an actress/singer. But he called me up, he’d seen something I’d done on the Internet, and it was just like ‘You wanna make some stuff?’ And how do you turn that down?”
Winstead says she’s loved the producer’s work long before he contributed to the ‘Scott Pilgrim’ soundtrack, and the two turned out to have a similar idea on what to collaborate on. “I was a huge fan of his,” she said, “I had been for a really long time. And when he told me his idea of what he wanted to do, it was perfect, because I’m a huge French ’60s pop fan.”
It’s been a while coming, and there’s no set date for any kind of release, but Winstead says you should be able to hear the fruits of their labors before too long. “We’ve been slowly writing and record stuff,” she told us. “It’s been like a year and a half. It’s a slow process, it’s something we’re doing more for fun, and then hoping it’ll turn into something we want to release. But that’s the goal, ultimately, is to make something to actually release and put out there. But we don’t know when we’ll actually finish it.”
She also said she plans on working on another new short film with her husband, writer/director Riley Stearns:
“We have one more short we want to make,” Winstead says. “And then he has a feature idea that we’re both really excited about, that we’d probably do a Kickstarter thing for, unless we could find some financiers or something. Something really small and low budget and contained.”
How exciting!
