Mena has made it on to Indie Critics 56th Most Beautiful Faces list for the 8th year now. Congrats to her. It’s a list not judged on best body, most well known or commercial, check out the site to see how else made the list. Check out #68 - Eva Green also!

Rigel Entertainment has just released a movie poster and a trailer for the up-coming ‘Stuck’. You can view the trailer here. The film is described as a psychologically dark thriller. It was recently previwed at Cannes to good reviews. It’s great to see Mena in a leading role again! I’ll add captures to the gallery soon.

Cinematical posted this a few days ago which reveals information on Mena’s new film.

At yesterday’s Brooklyn Rules press junket, Mena Suvari, who plays the uptown girl who falls in love with Freddie Prinze Jr’s Brooklyn tough guy in the film, was eager to talk up her upcoming projects, including Day of the Dead. I asked her if she gets to turn into a zombie in the film, to which she replied: “No, I play a corporal in the Army and I save the day!” She also said that she worked six day weeks on gun training and did all her own stunts. She also told me that she will be in director John Irvin’s (Hamburger Hill, Next of Kin) upcoming adaptation of the Hemingway novel, The Garden of Eden. Set in Spain, the story is about an expat American and his wife who both fall in love with a beautiful young woman named Marita — the part Suvari will presumably play. “It’s very deep. It’s a Hemingway story, it’s one of his last stories and its a very complicated piece,” Suvari said. “We’re shooting in Spain and it takes place in Spain and the south of France. I’m very excited about that.”

I also asked Suvari about her very, very brief part as Richie Berlin in Factory Girl, and whether it was all that was left of something more substantial: “They took a couple things out, but there were so many cameos in that movie that were taken fully out … they weren’t in the movie,” Suvari said. “They had me come in and shoot some extra footage that didn’t go in there. Richie Berlin wasn’t a huge fan of Andy Warhol, so she wasn’t so much in the Factory. And I didn’t really know what they were doing with it and with the character. Richie never really wanted to talk to me … I had to dig to do my research. But she talked about how she felt like she was the only one who really cared about Edie, so they tried to play that up in the film and add a couple of things, and then they did a different route with Edie, making it more of a narrative, like when she’s talking about it in the hospital, all of that was added later. They just went a different route.”

Exciting times! Look out Spain! We look forward to hearing more about the film.
Thanks to Virginia for letting me know!

Mena has been listed as one of the hottest 100 women for 2007 by Maxim magazine. She has been placed at #73 and maxim.com posted this:

73. Mena Suvari
She came to prominence in 1999’s American movies (Beauty and Pie—Pie’s the one where Seann William Scott drinks spooge). Mena’s since branched into TV (Six Feet Under) while cranking out films, like this year’s horror flick Stuck. Somewhere Chris Klein weeps.

Thanks to Paul for mailing it in

This is only quick because this week I’m moving house [so I'll be M.I.A for a week or so] but I saw this poll on Fab Sugar which was asking which you prefer - Mena as a blonde, brunette or red head. I think it’s a good poll because its will hopefully get a variety of votes from fashion and Mena fans. I was really surprised at what is in the lead at the moment! Go to vote!
