AMANDA SEYFRIED AMAZES
Her Upcoming Projects, Including Fincher's Mank
Amanda Seyfried has remained busy since she first gained prominence for her role as Karen in Mean Girls. She’s gone on to leading roles in musicals like Mamma Mia! and Les Misérables. She also played a conflicted Mormon in the HBO series Big Love. She recently starred opposite Kevin Bacon in the psychological horror film You Should Have Left. The movie follows a writer named Theo (Bacon), his much younger wife Susanna (Seyfried) and their young daughter Ella (Avery Essex). In an attempt to save their failing marriage, they decide to take a trip to the Welsh countryside. Upon arrival at the isolated house they rented, strange events begin to plague the family. You Should Have Left came out on-demand on June 18, 2020. Now, let’s take a look at Seyfried’s upcoming projects.
Mank
The new David Fincher movie follows screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz’s (Gary Oldman) development of Orson Welles’ (Tom Burke) classic Citizen Kane. Seyfried stars as Marion Davies, the real-life mistress of William Randolph Hearst (the prototype of the character of Charles Foster Kane.) Netflix is set to release Mank in October 2020. Before you see it, do yourself a favor and look up what “Rosebud” really means.
Things Heard & Seen
This psychological horror film, based on the novel All Things Cease to Appear by Elizabeth Brundage, follows a Manhattan artist who relocates her family to the Hudson Valley. As she settles into her new surroundings, she finds a sinister undercurrent to her marriage that rivals her new home’s history. No release date is set for this movie, but Netflix will distribute it.
A Mouthful of Air
In A Mouthful of Air, Seyfried stars as Julie, a new mom and children’s book author struggling with postpartum depression. She escapes into a world of her brightly-colored creations to escape. There is no release date for this movie that is written and directed by Amy Koppelman. In addition to Seyfried, the cast includes Finn Wittrock, Amy Irving, Jennifer Carpenter, Paul Giamatti and Britt Robertson.
