Six promotional featurettes for Meryl’s films, including Postcards from the Edge, The River Wild, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, Prime, Doubt and Suffragette have been added to the video archive (the Suffragette video has been added before but went without mention). The former five are not full featurettes but rather bits from an entertainment program, still a great find and some wonderful on-set footage and old interviews. Click any of the previews below.

2015 is coming to an end rapidly, and time has prevented me from doing some nice site specials for the holidays (maybe consider the timeline an early Christmas gift ;-) Neverthless, I try to wrap 2015 with some additional images and the year in review between the festivities. In the meantime, I would like to wish all Simply Streep visitors a Merry Christmas and some peaceful days with your families or beloved ones. Enjoy your time and look forward to 2016 bringing lots of great new material to Simply Streep. Yours, Frederik

“Suffragette” hasn’t been a major player in the 2016 awards season (fairly, it hasn’t played there at all with the exception of Carey Mulligan’s Critics Choice nomination). At least, the Women Film Critics Circle has been kind to Sarah Gavron’s film, naming it Best Movie about Women, Best Movie by a Woman, Best Actress, Best Ensemble (that’s one for Meryl), Best Female Images in a Movie, Courage in Filmmaking for Sarah Gavron, and their special Karen Morley Award for best exemplifying a woman’s place in history or society, and a courageous search for identity.

I’m very happy to launch the new filmography pages today, a section that has been long in the works to receive its well deserved relaunch. Besides her work on film and the theatre, Meryl Streep has always maintained a steady workflow with appearances in documentaries, narrations and audio books. The newly launched timeline compiles all productions from the different mediums and lists them by year, making it easier to find a project and explore the works that was done in a specific year. You can launch the timeline here or browse the filmography in their old form. If you know about a project that isn’t listed, please let me know.

Earlier this week, Meryl’s latest film “Ricki and the Flash” has been released on DVD, Blu-Ray and on demand in the United States. If you haven’t seen it yet, or want to relive Jonathan Demme’s romantic comedy that co-stars Kevin Kline, Rick Springfield and Mamie Gummer, be sure to grab your copy. Over 1.000 Blu-Ray screencaptures have been added to the photo gallery. Enjoy!
