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.

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.”

This will be the last update for this year (with the exception of the “Year in Review 2011”, coming next week) and I’ve made sure you’ll have plenty to watch, read and listen to for the Holidays. First, Meryl’s appearance on “The View” can be watched in the video archive.

She attended the show yesterday alongside director Phyllida Lloyd, dishing on “The Iron Lady”, her early years at Dartmouth college and visiting the White House for the Kennedy Center Honors. Additionally to the video, HD captures have been added to the gallery.

Then, new magazine scans have been added to the gallery, with many thanks to Alvaro. Transcripts can be found in the magazines archive as well, including articles from Sunday Times Culture, The Inquirer, MacLeans’, USA Today, The Los Angeles Times and The New York Times. A list of all new scans can be found below the previews.

Finally, I would like to wish all visitors of Simply Streep a Merry Christmas and some wonderful Holidays with your family, friends and beloved ones. It’s been a great year to keep Simply Streep updated and I’m looking forward to all the news and things to happen in 2012. Have a great time and take care everybody! Frederik.

A B-roll video from the set of “The Iron Lady” has been released, showing lots of footage from behind the scenes. Also, two additional clips have been added to the video archive. Enjoy!
