Two additional clips from “The Iron Lady” have been added, one featuring the older Margaret, discussing recent politics at a dinner party, the second is a larger excerpt fro a previously posted clip in which Margaret talks to Denis and thinks back to her active political time. Then, there’s a lenghty interview from the press junket in London – as conducted by Danish television (thanks to Anna for guiding this to me). Enjoy the new clips.

I’ve replaced the previously added featurette on “The Iron Lady” with a longer version, featuring more interview bits by Meryl and the cast of the film as well as a couple of new and extended scenes. Additionally, HD captures have been added to the image library.

Before these get forgotten as “something from last year”, quality scans from the January 2012 issue of the American Vogue have been added to the image library. Enjoy!

Yesterday, Meryl and Phyllida have attended the Paris premiere of “The Iron Lady”. While being in France, Meryl has also taped a couple of interviews, which will be posted on the site next. For now, enjoy the pictures from the Paris premiere in the image library.

Also, Meryl was interviewed on the French programme Le 20 Heures about “The Iron Lady”. The full interview, which is dubbed in French, can be watched in the video archive.

These coming days, Meryl will do the talkshow rounds to promote the US and international releases of “The Iron Lady”. Updated: On Monday, she will be a guest on the French talkshow Le Grand Journal, which airs at 19h10 on CanalPlus. On January 12, there will be two US appearances, the first on the Ellen DeGeneres Show and later that day on Jimmy Kimmel Live. If you miss any of these appearances, don’t worry as they’ll be uploaded to Simply Streep afterwards. Thanks to Christy for the heads-up on the Ellen appearance.

Edit: Apparently her interview on Le Grand Journal will be taped today, but broadcast on Monday. Thanks to Jeff for sending this in.

Three new video clips have been added to the archive. The firt is a compilation of tv reports on yesterday’s London premiere, featuring interviews with Meryl, Phyllida Lloyd, Jim Broadbent and other cast members. The second is a lenghty interview by Film Four with Meryl and Phyllida. The third is a report by Extra, filmed during the US press junket for the film. Enjoy the new clips.

Meryl has walked the blue carpet at the London premiere of “The Iron Lady”. A total of 162 pictures has been added to the image library. Update: 74 more pictures have been added.

A new US featurette for “The Iron Lady”, featuring a bunch of new and extended scenes from the film, has been added to the video archive. And a couple of new pictures from the set have been added as well. Check back later today for coverage on the London premiere.

According to the Chicago Tribune, “The Iron Lady” proved her mettle this weekend. The biopic opened to a remarkable $280,409 at four theaters — a per-screen average of $70,102. That’s the third-highest specialty opening of the year, after “Midnight in Paris,” “The Tree of Life” and “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.” The movie will expand to more theaters January 13. “We couldn’t be happier with the results,” Erik Lomis, the Weinstein Company’s distribution chief, told TheWrap on Monday. “Obviously it’s the number one screen average by a mile for the weekend.”

Great news from Germany. The Berlin Film Festival said Monday it would award Meryl Streep an honorary Golden Bear next month in recognition of her decades-long career. “Meryl Streep is a brilliant, versatile performer who moves with ease between dramatic and comedic roles,” the festival’s director Dieter Kosslick said in a written statement. The award will be presented on February 14 at the screening of “The Iron Lady”, while audiences at the Berlinale, as the festival is known, will also be able to see five of Streep’s other films under its Homage section. In 2003, Meryl Streep shared the Berlinale’s Silver Bear award for best actresses with Julianne Moore and Nicole Kidman for their performances in “The Hours”. Thanks to Sandra for the heads-up!
