Mena along with Vinne Jones and Rob Schneider filmed a short film called ‘Naked Dawn’ where Mena played a Russian terrorist of some sort. It was filmed in Hawaii when they were filming “You may Not Kiss The Bride” back in March this year. You can view the trailer at FunnyOrDie.com. If anyone has any info about it, please feel free to post it!

Actress Mena Suvari may be known for her roles in films such as American Beauty and American Pie, but it’s her love of Jamaican music that led her to executive produce the recent release Future Sound of Reggae, Vol. 1.

Mena has a new film on the way! She will be co-starring in 2010’s “You May Not Kiss The Bride” directed by Rob Hedden. The film also stars Vinnie Jones, Rob Schneider, Katharine McPhee, Tia Carrere and Dave Annable. It is a comedy about a mobster who tries to arrange his daughter to obtain U.S. citizenship by setting her up with an American photographer. Mena will play Tonya. It was filmed in Hawaii back in March/April. I’ve added a few pics from the set of the film to the gallery - notice the ones where Mena has her back to the camera - they have hid her tattoos!
