In my continued attempts to talk every single one of you into checking out TRANSSIBERIAN by one of my “>favorite directors, Brad Anderson, and starring my inaugural Hollywood Crush (Kata Mara), I now present you the films’ one-sheet. I mean look at it. Could a film that results in such a great poster really be bad? Of course not. Mark your calendars, folks: July 18th.

The gorgeous Kate Mara first came to my attention when she illuminated the screen when she appeared at the end of BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, playing Ennis’ (Heath Ledger) daughter. It was one of those quintessential moments that movie fans (or at least this one) love experiencing. That moment where you immediately perk up and think “Who is that?” and somewhat instinctively sense that a) they’re going to be the next big thing, or b) they’re going to be your next big thing.
In the case of Kate Mara in BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, I couldn’t help but instantly be overwhelmed by how undeniably gorgeous she was (helped by a soft spot I have for redheads), and how sweet but somehow sultry her Julia Roberts like voice was. Of course it wasn’t just the superficial that impressed me about her, but also the energy she seems to give off. I’m not usually into the whole aura/energy thing, but this girl was the exception to the rule. In the film I was struck by how quiet and calm, but also assured and effective her acting approach was, and how it seemed to be as much a part of her actual self, as it was her performance in that film. All that contributed to me knowing this was an actress who a) I now had a massive crush on, and b) who I was going to keep an eye out from now on.
