Mary is among a list of actors and actresses who are being courted by television networks to possibly star in a new series. Keep in mind, Mary has already filmed the pilot for the HBO/Cinemax series Quarry alongside Logan Marshall Greene. That series, however, has yet to be picked up. Keep reading for more info:
With more than more than 80 pilots — some of them already picked up to series — the race to cast the hundreds of roles in the dramas and comedies in contention for the 2014-15 is well underway. Casting directors now find themselves in the annual scramble to lure stars who are both available and willing to commit to either multiple seasons, or in some cases, short-order limited series.
The increase in “limited” — or “event” — programming is helping to lure big names from the film world, with Hilary Swank, Diane Lane, Jennifer Garner, Luke Wilson, Ryan Phillippe and James Marsden all of receiving multiple offers.
While it’s unclear just how many of the box-office heavy-hitters will actually take on a pilot, it’s Final Destination 3 star Mary Elizabeth Winstead, 29, and Magic City‘s Jeffrey Dean Morgan, 47, who have vaulted to the top of pilot season’s wish list. Both actors, multiple sources say, aren’t over-exposed and are being courted because there are not a lot of actors available in those age ranges.
“Everyone wants to find that discovery that’s not really a discovery — that person people know and recognize but they’re not sure where they know them from,” the talent agent says, with another noting Watchmen star Morgan is “sexy for network TV but not sexy enough for film.”
Hopefully this means we’ll hear about Quarry (or possibly another pilot) soon! I’ll be sure to keep you all posted about what’ll happen.
Huge congrats are in order as Mary’s new film FAULTS, which is directed by her husband Riley Stearns, will make its official debut at the SXSW Festival. The full description is as follows:
Claire is under the grip of a mysterious cult. Desperate to be reunited with their daughter, Claire’s parents set out to recruit Ansel Roth, one of the world’s foremost authorities on mind control. But Ansel’s specialty, deprogramming cult members and returning them to their families, is not an exact science. Now, even his own book publisher is looking to break his legs. Ansel kidnaps Claire, who reveals herself to be a formidable challenge; her belief is unshakeable and her logic is undeniable. A battle of wits develops between the two as they delve deeper and deeper into each others minds.
The Festival will run from March 7-15 in Austin, TX.
