The Mary Sue Interviews Brit Marling, Patricia Clarkson, Alexander Skarsgård, & Ellen Page Of The East

Screenwriter/actress Brit Marling has returned with another thought-provoking film with director Zal Batmanglij. The East, open in limited release today, stars Marling, Patricia Clarkson, Alexander Skarsgård, and Ellen Page in a spy thriller based around corporate poisonings and the freeganism movement. The Mary Sue was invited to a roundtable discussion with the actors and the director recently, and spoke with them about whether or not this is a political film, women in Hollywood, and what it was like living without entertainment and soap.

A Moment of Silence for the Kitty Pryde Movie, Destroyed by Wolverine: Origins

I’ll be the first person to stand up and defend Wolverine: Origins as a solidly entertaining movie with almost zero nutritional value. The fact is, that after X-Men: The Last Stand, the last thing I wanted was a movie that tried to get all philosophical with its mutant metaphor and instead presented its main characters as amoral hypocrites. I was perfectly ready for what Wolverine turned out to be: Hugh Jackman, a series of awkward celebrity cameos, and a See’s Candy assortment of gleefully wire-fu fight scenes strung along on the thinnest of plots like brightly colored beads on a wire.

But I’d be perfectly willing to trade Wolverine: Origins for a Kitty Pryde movie from all of the people who brought us Juno, because oh my gosh what would that movie even be like?

Brit Marling’s New Film Features Ellen Page As A Member Of An Anonymous-Like Group [TRAILER]

We’ve reviewed two of Brit Marling’s films on The Mary Sue. Another Earth left me with deep thoughts, while The Sound of My Voice left me wanting more. Marling’s new outing has her rejoining her Voice director Zal Batmanglij for The East. She plays an “operative for an elite private intelligence firm whose top objective is to ruthlessly protect the interests of their A-list corporate clientele” while an anarchist group works to reveal the corporations shady practices. Alexander Skarsgård and Ellen Page also star as members of the seemingly fictional take on Anonymous.

Our Favorite TDKR Rumor of the Day: One Of These Women Might Actually Be in TDKR

I was going to stick this into the “hold on to your butts” category because…woah…but since there’s no confirmation I chose “rumory.” We’ve just heard that a certain DC Comics superheroine might have a role in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises and that a famous actress has already been filming as her. The HUGE spoiler and a photo that corroborates the story is under the cut.

Super: Rainn Wilson Tells Crime to Shut Up [Video]

I say this in a good way: Where do I even begin with this, the trailer for the Rainn Wilson costumed superhero flick, Super? For one thing, his catchphrase is “Shut up, crime!” For another, it has Ellen Page, Liv Tyler, Kevin Bacon, and Nathan Fillion in it. Rainn Wilson has no superpowers, he’s just pissed and wants justice. Maybe not even justice, just his dignity. And he has a monkey wrench. Directed by Slither‘s James Gunn, Super is set to hit screens April 1.
