Mary Talks ‘BrainDead’ Cancellation and ’10 Cloverfield Lane’ Sequel

Posted on Written by Jessica Comments Off on Mary Talks ‘BrainDead’ Cancellation and ’10 Cloverfield Lane’ Sequel

Speaking at the Television Critics Association day for the third season of Fargo yesterday, Mary spoke with Syfy Wire where she said she’d love to step into her character’s shoes Michelle from 10 Cloverfield Lane:

“I know that Dan and I would love to continue that story,” she said with enthusiasm. “The anthology series is where they are going with it, so whether or not that ever comes back to Michelle’s story, I’m not sure. But I know Dan always had more in mind, so I would love the opportunity to explore that. If anybody would every let us do that, we would jump on it.”

In the same interview, she revealed that what draws her to projects lately are the story and character and the creative minds behind project. Right now is such an exciting time because there is so much incredible material in TV, and so many visionaries in TV like Noah (Hawley). I feel like I have been incredibly lucky the last few years to work with some of those people. Sometimes, you want to go off and experiment and do weird things but for the most part I want to stick with people who are really talented.”

Also during the TCA panel, Mary shared her thoughts on why BrainDead was cancelled, saying it was because the show didn’t quite fit into the audience with CBS but applauded the network for giving them a chance.

Mary Attends Winter TCA Panel; New ‘Fargo’ Details Revealed

Posted on Written by Jessica Comments Off on Mary Attends Winter TCA Panel; New ‘Fargo’ Details Revealed

 

The Television Critics’ Association (TCA) Panel is in full swing and FX had several panels going on today, including one for the third season of Fargo. Below are several highlights of what we’ve learned so far about the upcoming season and be sure to head to the gallery to see the photos:

  • The new 10-episode season jumps ahead to the technology-friendly 2010 (four years after season 1), and presents the latest Midwestern “true crime” story, whose details are yet unclear. Filming began Friday in Calgary, where temperatures hovered in the negative double digits last week.
  • Mary will play Nikki Swango, a parolee who’s “smart and street savvy, with the capacity for conniving” and a dark side,” she says. “But she has a heart.” Her character is also dating Ray Stussy (a dual role by Ewan McGregor where he plays twins).
  • Exec producer Warren Littlefield says this season is keeping it to about 11 main and recurring characters. “The important thing about Year Three is intimacy,” Littlefield said. “It’s a smaller cast. Year Two was a large war, so in Year Three we live within these characters.”

    • Other tidbits (via various twitter users during today’s panel):

    Mary Elizabeth Winstead says the cast is told to play their characters as if they could become the hero or villain at any moment. She also said that she’s drawn to things that are “funny, sad, and scary.”

    Winstead also said the movie “Fargo” is one of her favorite films. When she got the call, she immediately said yes even though at first, she was initially nervous when she heard they were making a series about it.

    Her character’s intelligence and cunning are what make her the “cat” and/or “clarinet” of “Fargo”.

    Lastly, the show will premiere some time in April, but no date has been set as of yet.

    New Cast Members Added to Fargo’s Third Season

    Posted on Written by Jessica Comments Off on New Cast Members Added to Fargo’s Third Season

    With season 3 of FX’s Fargo raring to begin production next month in Calgary, some new cast members have been added to the show. David Thewlis, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jim Gaffigan, Scoot McNairy, Karan Soni, Fred Melamed, and Thomas Mann all join Mary, Ewan McGregor and Carrie Coon.

    According to Variety, McGregor will play brothers Emmit and Ray Stussy. Emmit, described as the Parking Lot King of Minnesota, sees himself as an American success story, whereas Ray is more of a cautionary tale. Their sibling rivalry leads to a twisted path that begins with petty theft, but soon leads to murder, mobsters, and cut-throat competitive bridge. Coon will portray Gloria Burgle, the steady chief of the local police department. A newly divorced mother, Gloria is trying to understand the new world around her. Winstead will play Ray’s girlfriend, Nikki Swango, a crafty and alluring recent parolee with a passion for competitive bridge.

    A premiere date hasn’t been set, but the show will air some time next year and is rumored to tie into the events after season 1.
