So sorry for the lack of updates recently. But rest assured we are not giving up on this site! I’ve come across 3 additional gorgeous HQ stills of Emily Mortimer in “Chaos Theory”. Enjoy!

A few days ago Variety reported about a film that is already filming:

Production has begun on “Saint John of Las Vegas,” a drama that stars Steve Buscemi, Romany Malco, Emily Mortimer, Tim Blake Nelson, John Cho, Emmanuelle Chriqui and Peter Dinklage.

Newcomer Hue Rhodes wrote the script and makes his feature directing debut.

In a loose adaptation of Dante’s “Inferno,” Buscemi plays an ex-gambler who’s under the tutelage of a maverick insurance fraud investigator (Malco). The film is shooting in Albuquerque, N.M., and Las Vegas.

Not sure how that project fits in with Ms. Mortimer’s schedule which lists another new film ‘City Island‘. Yet seeing as filming for ‘Saint John of Las Vegas‘ is expected to continue till August 23 while Emily was called to the set of the-soon-to-be-finished ‘City Island‘ as of July 31 (source: official movie blog) - it may very well be that she will shoot her scenes as a supporting character in the Inferno adaptation after leaving ‘City Island‘.

Given how many movie and TV roles Emily Mortimer has tackled thus far in her career (44 at latest count), it’s hard to believe she’s only been working professionally for a little more than 13 years. Following bit parts in movies like The Ghost and the Darkness and Notting Hill, she quickly established herself as one of the most versatile and adventuresome actresses of her generation. And while her most talked-about role to date was previously that of an insecure actress who subjects herself to a fully exposed, unmerciful critique of her physical assets in Nicole Holofcener’s Lovely & Amazing, she courts controversy yet again as the main character in Brad Anderson’s murder mystery-cum-thriller Transsiberian.

In the film, Mortimer plays a dissatisfied newlywed who struggles to be faithful to her doting husband Roy (played by Woody Harrelson), with disastrous consequences. IGN recently caught up with Mortimer via telephone to discuss her participation in the film; in addition, she talks about the fearful process of finding each new character she plays, and collaborating with filmmakers to find deeper truths among each project’s entertaining core.

As announced earlier, Emily’s new film ‘Transsiberian‘ was released on July 18. It was a very limited release (only 2 theaters). Interestingly it was the only film apart from ‘The Dark Knight‘ to top $10,000 when it came to the per theater chart with an average of $17,308.

Anyway, enough about money matters. In the days leading up to the film’s release Ms. Mortimer was busy promoting the indie thriller. You can find many of the text interviews in our press section and I have now added yet another extensive and interesting interview. By the way, this one provides the context for the headline ‘I’m no action star’ which is currently being spread across the internet. Apart from talking about the challenges of shooting on location in Lithuania, running around with plastic feet, the moral ambiguity of the film and her character and the nicest criminals she also talks about her other upcoming film ‘Shutter Island/Ashecliffe‘.

It was reported on July 22 that Emily Mortimer together with Julianna Margulies, Alan Arkin, Andy Garcia and Steven Strait have signed up for the indie family comedy ‘City Island‘. In fact they’re all very busy filming already:

Garcia plays Vince Rizzo, a Bronx prison official who realizes that an inmate (Strait) is his secret love child. His efforts to become his guardian lead to comic complications. Margulies plays Rizzo’s wife, Arkin plays a teacher in his acting class, and Mortimer plays a fellow student he befriends.

Garcia’s daughter Dominik Garcia-Lorido plays his onscreen daughter, and Ezra Miller also stars.

Raymond De Felitta’s Medici Entertainment, Garcia’s CineSon, Lucky Monkey Pictures’ Lauren Versel and Zachary Matz will produce “City,” which began shooting this week on location in the eponymous Bronx fishing neighborhood where the story is set.

De Felitta directed “The Thing About My Folks” and the sleeper period indie “Two Family House.”

Paradigm Motion Picture Finance Group packaged the project and is repping domestic sales.

Admiring Emily Mortimer - your first and only online source dedicated to Emily Mortimer is open! What started out as a small tribute page by Maria has now been transformed into a full website - run by Amanda & Maria. We’ve spent many hours working on getting it open before Emily’s new movie Transsiberian hits US theatres July 18. So we invite you to browse our information pages, the press archive and the media archive.

We still have a lot more to add to the site so make sure you bookmark this site and keep checking back!

Excuse me for the lack of updates. I have been very busy in real life as well as with other sites. For the time being I simply haven’t got the time nor the motivation to actively maintain this little tribute page. However, I really adore Emily Mortimer and won’t forget this place. When I return - hopefully not in the too distant future - the site will come back on a much larger scale. Stay tuned and thank you for your patience!

The project I’m most looking forward to ‘Lars and the Real Girl’ - also starring Ryan Gosling and Patricia Clarkson - has a US release date: October 12, 2007.

First Season of ‘30 Rock’ is over now and Writer/Executive Producer Tina Fey answered some questions on a Live Blog. There will be a DVD later and when asked about future guest stars she said amongst other things: “Oh gosh! I would love to have Emily Mortimer back…was she British, was she faking it?” So we may get to see more of Phoebe, Jack Donaghy’s (played by Alec Baldwin) fiancée, an art dealer who says she suffers from avian bone syndrome and cannot be touched.

According to TV Fodder Emily Mortimer guest-starred in the TV Series ‘30 Rock‘ in the episode ‘Corporate Crush’. She played Phoebe, an employee at Christie’s, who has the odd habit of assuming nobody remembers her, pointing it out, and introducing herself repeatedly. If you live in the US you can still catch it online at the show’s official site.

[edit] As I have just found out, Emily Mortimer will continue to guest-star as Phoebe in at least the next 2 episodes: ‘Cleveland’ (April 19) and ‘Hiatus’ (April 26). The show airs on NBC at 9.00 pm.
