Mary Attends the 40th Anniversary And The Book Release Of “W: The First 40 Years” Event
I’ve added some new event photos of Mary attending the 40th Anniversary and book release Of “W: The First 40 Years” event in Los Angeles. Mary even posed with her husband Riley at the event. Be sure to check out all the pics in the gallery.
Also, there’s new interviews and photos I’ve added to the gallery. Below is part of her interview with Now Toronto magazine:
“I haven’t done a big film since [Smashed],” she says. “I did a cameo in Die Hard 5, but I [only] worked for a day, so I can’t quite count that. I’ve only done small parts in a string of really small films; I haven’t made the leap back to big films yet. I’m moving toward wanting to be a collaborative part of the process as much as I can. I would like to be filmmaker-focused in everything I do.”
GlobeandMail also interviewed Mary about Smashed:
Winstead was knocked sideways when she read Smashed ’s script. “ She’s a completely real character that you just never, ever see in scripts,” Winstead, 27, said during an interview during the Toronto International Film Festival in September. “She always has to be perfect, she always has to be making the guy a better person. She’s on a pedestal. And here’s a woman who’s dragging herself through the mud with what she’s doing to herself, making terrible choices and yet you still root for her.”
The article’s accompanying photo can also be viewed in the gallery.

A Glimpse Inside the Mind to Premiere at Rome Film Festival
According to sentieriselvaggi.it, Roman Coppola’s A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III will be in competition at the Rome Film Festival 2012, which takes place from November 9-17.
In the film, Charlie Sheen is the protagonist Charles Swan, a playboy who is also a successful graphic designer. When his young and comely girlfriend Ivana (Katheryn Winnick) causes him heartbreak, Charles falls into chaos: fantasies of revenge, in which raves between spying and western, runs into the Bond spies and Cowboys, hallucinations and nightmares that have to do with past relationships. From there, his sister Izzy (Patricia Arquette), his best friend Kirby (Jason Schwartzman) and his accountant Saul (Bill Murray) try to intervene. Complete cast includes Aubrey Plaza, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Dermot Mulroney, and in a cameo, Stephen Dorff.
The film will be released in the U.S. sometime in February 2013.

The Boston Globe Interviews Mary About Smashed
Smashed will be opening in Boston this upcoming Friday and The Boston Globe did an interview with Mary (and director James Ponsoldt) about the film. Here’s what Mary had to say:
“I grew up in a dry county in Utah,” Winstead (“Scott Pilgrim vs. the World”) says. “And my family was pretty strict, Southern Baptist. So I never experienced alcoholism firsthand. I mean, I drink now. My friends drink. But I’ve never been close to anyone who drank to excess. So preparing for this role and understanding Kate’s frame of mind and her struggle meant talking to people who have struggled with substance abuse and simply exercising my craft and thinking hard about how I work through my own issues, compared to Kate.”
She also talks about the types of roles she’s looking forward to:
“I don’t have a dream role or a dream type of role,” she says, joking for a moment that “Smashed” is the third consecutive film in which her character is named Kate. “That’s as close as I want to come to typecasting. But I acknowledge this role will probably open doors for me. And really what I want most from that is the ability to keep working with directors like James, and the ability to pick roles just because I love the character and the script and not because I need the role to raise my profile or for a paycheck.”
She does, however, vow to keep seeking roles that help her “better understand myself and how I relate to the people in my life.”
Also, head to the gallery (or click on the thumbnail) to see a new photo of Mary and James from the interview.
