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. (via /Film) Are you following The Mary Sue on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, & Google +?
