The Weinstein Co. has created a series of unusual campaign-style posters to promote the film online and possibly in print as well. The intentionally defaced ads play off the idea that not everyone was in love with Thatcher in her home country, embracing the controversy she stirred in England, not shying away from it. It might seem odd to promote a film with an ad campaign that seems to disparage the movie’s subject, but it’s very much a play on Thatcher’s thorny relationship with many in her country during the time she served as prime minister (article courtesy Politico). Another new poster, probably for its wide release in the USA, has been added as well.
Also, with thanks to Frank for the heads-up, Meryl has been awarded Best Actress for “The Iron Lady” by the Denver Film Critics Society and has received a nomination as Best International Actress for the Irish Film and Television Award. Congratulations!
Here are some fantastic on-set and promotional pictures from some of Meryl’s previous films – Doubt, Adaptation, Plenty and Sophie’s Choice – all shot by the marvelous Brigitte Lacombe. Seriously, how many of these pictures is she holding back? :-) Here’s hoping that one day she will publish a book with all the images she’s taken of Meryl’s films throughout the years. On a sidenote, I’m not entirely sure if the black & white picture of Meryl in her dressing room is really from the set of “Adaptation” – what would be your guess?
Yesterday, Meryl has attended the 77th Annual New York Film Critics Circle Award, accepting her Best Actress win for “The Iron Lady”. Lots of pictures from the ceremony have been added to the image library.
On January 08, “The Andrew Marr Show” featured an interview with Meryl on “The Iron Lady”, her career and upcoming projects (on which she mentions “a sex comedy with Tommy Lee Jones ;-). The full appearance can be watched in the video archive, with pictures from the taping of the interview added to the image library. Thanks to everybody for the heads-up!
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.
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.
I hope you’ve all had wonderful Christmas holidays and look forward to celebrating New Year’s Eve. The past week had lots of new appearances which have been all added to the archives. First and foremost, the Kennedy Center Honors were broadcast on December 27, and Meryl’s complete segment can be found in the video archive.
It was a wonderful tribute by her colleagues and the introduction clip featured an array of unseen images of her early stage work. Still, I found that the segment was badly cut and much was left out. If you read the articles that were written after the ceremony took place December 05, you wonder why Nora Ephron’s speech was cut out completely, as well as parts of the fantastic speeches by Tracey Ullman and Robert De Niro. Still, the musical tribute by Kevin Kline, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci and Anne Hathaway – revising Meryl’s interpretation of “He’s me Pal” from “Ironweed” is worth a watch! A fantastic show. HD screencaptures from the ceremony have been added to the image library as well.
Then, also on December 27, CBS’ The Early Show aired a previously taped interview with Meryl, in which she talks about being a Kennedy Center Honoree and “The Iron Lady”. Also added to the video archive are two additional clips from the White House Dinner as well as an interview compilation for “The Iron Lady”.
Last but not least, lots of additional pictures from 2011 public appearances have been added to the image library. Click the previews below to launch all recently added event pictures.
