Mary Elizabeth Winstead “In Talks” For ‘Hand that Rocks the Cradle’ Reboot

Posted on Written by Jessica Comments Off on Mary Elizabeth Winstead “In Talks” For ‘Hand that Rocks the Cradle’ Reboot

As the headline states, Mary is currently in talks to join It Follows and Longlegs actress Maika Monroe in a remake of the 1992 thriller The Hand That Rocks the Cradle for 20th Century Fox.

According to Deadline, Michelle Garza Cervera will direct the pic, with Micah Bloomberg penning the script.
In the original film directed by Curtis Hanson, the ’92 film starred Rebecca de Mornay as a pregnant woman who is married to a sex offender; her husband eventually gets caught and kills himself after other victims come forward. This leads de Mornay’s character having a miscarriage, and she looks to exact revenge against one of her husband’s assault victims (Annabella Sciorra) and her family, leading to a bloody conflict between the two women. While the plot points for the new film remain hidden, the casting will see Winstead portray the part of the assault victim while Monroe will take over as the sex offender’s widow.

Mary was last seen opposite her husband Ewan McGregor in the Paramount+ series ‘A Gentleman in Moscow‘ and starring in Disney+’s Ahsoka series opposite Rosario Dawson.

What do you guys think of the news? I’m personally excited Mary is getting back into the horror/thriller genre! If you’re also curious, you can view the trailer for the original film below:

First Poster for ‘Rich Flu’

Posted on Written by Jessica Comments Off on First Poster for ‘Rich Flu’

The first official poster for Mary’s upcoming film ‘Rich Flu‘ has been released courtesy of Filmax! According to the site, the upcoming thriller follows the story of a deadly virus that begins to infect the world’s richest people just as Laura (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) is at her most successful and rising professional stage. The virus seems to affect only the billionaires at first, but it soon spreads to encompass more modest wealth, forcing everyone to get rid of their fortunes. The problem is, there’s no one left to sell them to… Class struggle and pandemic sci-fi go hand in hand in this dystopia from the director of the multi-award-winning The Hole.

Starring alongside Mary, the film will also include Timothy Spall, Lorraine Bracco, Rafe Spall and Jonah Hauer-King. A release date is scheduled for January 25, 2025 in Spain.

You can view the HQ photo in the gallery and as always, I will update information about the film as its revealed. Here’s hoping a trailer is riiiight around the corner. 😉

Posted on Written by Jessica Comments Off on Mary Attends Husband Ewan McGregor’s Walk of Fame Star Ceremony

Update: I have added more photos of Mary at the event as well (totaling over 60+) as an additional video.

In some (obvious) news, Mary was in Los Angeles today on September 12, 2024 to commemorate Ewan getting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Mary and Ewan were joined by their son Laurie and three of his children he had with his ex-wife including eldest daughter Clara, Jamyan McGregor and Anouk McGregor.

While Mary did not speak at the ceremony, she posed with Ewan and the rest of the family. I have uploaded some photos of the event into the gallery, but will definitely be adding more soon so stay tuned! I’ve also embedded the entire ceremony for everyone to view below:

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

Posted on Written by Jessica Comments Off on ‘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!

Mary and Ewan Spotted at Children’s Hospice Center

Posted on Written by Jessica Comments Off on Mary and Ewan Spotted at Children’s Hospice Center

Now that Mary and Ewan spend part of their time living in Scotland, the married couple have been spotted around the country. Most recently, the two stopped by Rachel House children’s hospice in Kinross. Ewan, who was also accompanied by brother Colin and his wife Sarah, was given a tour of the hospice by CHAS CEO Rami Okasha before meeting five children with life-shortening conditions who are supported by the charity.

One of the mothers of the families Ewan visited had this to say after meeting Mary and Ewan:

“He came over for a wee visit with his wife Mary and they were both so lovely. Freya is having a BIPAP trial and he came in to see us. They spent a bit of time chatting to us and he was really interested in Freya’s trial.”

“My oldest daughter Katie was there as well so she was really excited to meet his wife, she was a big fan of her films when she was younger. Katie loved watching Robots when she was little – Ewan McGregor did the voiceover for that so she was pretty excited to meet him too.

“Ewan was very interested in us and as he was leaving, he touched Freya’s hand and said ‘Bye Freya’ and it was such a lovely gesture.

“They were both such lovely people, they really took an interest in us and Freya.”

Ewan spent time chatting with all parents and later treated families, staff and volunteers to an impromptu singsong in the lounge area.

You can view photos of their visit in the gallery and donate/learn more about the charity here.

‘Ahsoka’ Earns 5 Emmy Nominations

Posted on Written by Jessica Comments Off on ‘Ahsoka’ Earns 5 Emmy Nominations

Emmy nominations were announced on Wednesday afternoon and ‘Ahsoka’ earned 5 Emmy nominations for a couple different categories including best prosthetic makeup and sound editing. Below are the categories the Disney+ show received nominations in.

In other news, A Gentleman in Moscow sadly did not earn any nominations for either Mary or Ewan or the show itself which I think was a shame because the set pieces and costuming along with the work the entire cast did deserved some praise.
