Fincher is moving on to his first television project, “House of Cards,” a remake of the 1990s BBC hit political thriller that marks the first original series produced by streaming giants Netflix. The show stars Kevin Spacey as Frank Underwood, the House of Representatives Majority Whip who after being passed over for the position of Secretary of State, puts a plot into motion to bring down the President, while Robin Wright, who also featured in ‘Dragon Tattoo’ is also on board to play Spacey’s wife. And for the other female lead, Deadline has reported that Fincher has picked the elder sister of his Lisbeth Salander, Kate Mara.

She’ll play Zoe Barnes, a reporter for a Washington paper who conspires with Underwood to land a killer scoop, one that could have terrible consequences for her. Filming begins shortly in Baltimore, and Fincher said that “once we have five hours it’s going to be on,” so here’s hoping we see it very soon.

With the cat still in the bag regarding Mara’s role, MTV News couldn’t help but ask the actress about her specific involvement in the “Iron Man” sequel during an interview at the Sundance Film Festival this weekend. According to the actress, rumors that she’ll play Bethany Cabe are entirely untrue.

“Not that I know of,” she replied when asked if she was playing Cabe. “I don’t know how that started. Maybe because Bethany Cabe has red hair in the comic books and they thought, well, I have red hair. I don’t know, but I don’t play her.”

In fact, it’s likely that Mara’s role isn’t much more than a simple cameo — after all, the actress is only in one scene of “Iron Man 2.”

“It’s a very small part,” she said. “I’m only in one scene, so I don’t know, I don’t want to tell you anything — go see it! Hopefully I’m still in it!”

The first true crowd pleaser debuted early during the first day of the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and its the charming “happythankyoumoreplease.” And the standing ovation and frequent laughter during the dramedy pretty much gave it away. read more…

It’s going to be tough for How I Met Your Mother star Josh Radnor to avoid two comparisons in particular as he schleps around his directorial debut happythankyoumoreplease. First off, he’s following in the footsteps of Zach Braff, another man-child sitcom actor who had a successful launch of a debut film at Sundance. Secondly, he’s made a movie about twentysomethings fumbling for romance in New York City, which is a lot like the premise of HIMYM. But happythankyou has a different vibe than Garden State or Mother; it’s more like a late ‘80s/early ‘90s Woody Allen film, after Allen stopped keeping his comedy and his drama separate. read more…

Written, directed, and starring Josh Radnor (CBS’s How I Met Your Mother), happythankyoumoreplease boasts a wryly funny script and engaging performances from its ensemble cast. With honesty and humor, Radnor captures a generational moment—young people on the cusp of truly growing up, struggling for connection, and hoping to define what it means to love and be loved.
