Pic of the Day


Writer, now-director, and friend-of-MNPP Bryan Fuller shared this image of himself with his Hannibal leading man Mads Mikkelsen today, captioning it "Back in the saddle with this guy #dustbunny" -- if that hashtag means nothing to you then let me refer you to this post from November of last year where I told you about Dust Bunny, Bryan's directorial debut about "an eight-year-old girl who enlists the help of her intriguing neighbor to kill the monster under her bed that she believes ate her family." Now if you head to the IMDb page an even more intriguing fact if you can believe it reveals itself -- IMDb says that this movie will also co-star Sigourney Weaver? IMDb is the only place I see this reported -- all of the other links when you google it are talking about it being on IMDb. So is this true? I don't know. HEY BRYAN. I know you're directing your first movie right this minute or whatever but come answer my question, please! ETA we have confirmation, via the lips of Sigourney herself! This is from a chat with her a couple of weeks ago at the New York Social Diary:

"The industry finally realized, especially in the last few years, that people are interested in seeing older women in stories, not necessarily about older people, but just as part of a good tale. I’ve never been particular about leads versus supporting parts, so I’ve been able to find such an incredible assortment of roles in the last couple of years. Now, I’m about to go off to Budapest to do a wonderful small movie called Dust Bunny. I play another person who’s not so nice, opposite Mads Mikkelsen, the brilliant Danish actor (‘Casino Royale’), with a really talented writer/director, Bryan Fuller (“Hannibal’). And I have really beautiful costumes!”
