Anna in Space: Looks like AK will be one of the "names launched in 2009 with the Kepler spacecraft into orbit around the Sun." That's how the "official NASA certificate" reads, according to a June 24 article at the mtv.com movies blog. Thanks to Twilight fan Regina Schraut for placing AK in a spot we AK fans agree is suitably prominent for the actress!

 

Anna in New Twilight Scene: The June 17 article about Twilight at mtv.com includes a video with a glimpse of AK in the "field trip scene."  Better than that two second glimpse is the article's script excerpt that includes what AK does and says in the scene.

 

June 2008: Meanwhile, will The Marc Pease Experience ever be released?  A May 29 post on the movie's IMDB message board says, without any detail, scenes are being reshot.  A guerrilla review (youtube) of a sneak screening of the movie last fall criticized the script, but didn't talk about AK's performance.  So not much for us AK fans except worry we might never get to see her in this.

 

And what about Elsewhere?  That film's director, Nathan Hope, told me June 8, "We don't have a screening set up right now but we will hopefully finalize our domestic distribution of the film soon."  In addition to the trailer, the film's website features AK images on a number of its pages.

 

May 2008:  Not much new news on AK.  She's been busily filming the Twilight movie in Seattle (movie synopsis on About Anna page).  There is loads of Twilight fan blogging and gossip on the Internet about the movie, but very little specifically about AK.  Above are a few glimpses of her on the set.  Twilight is slated for a mid-December release.

Ok, so AK lost Independent's Spirit Award for Best Supporting Female to Cate Blanchett (I'm Not There). At least we have some new pics in our gallery of her from the red carpet and from the nominees reception. Rocket Science didn't win in the Best First Screenplay category or the Best First Feature category either.  But it's still worth renting. I was sure more entertained by AK's Ginny than by Cate's Bob. (Sorry Cate, your movie was one I "appreciated" more than I liked.)

 

According to an article on mtv.com, AK has recently signed to play Jessica Stanley in the upcoming vampire movie, Twilight. (Judging from the huge number of online postings about the casting of Twilight, this movie has the potential to make AK more widely known. Too bad we might have to wait a year before the movie comes out. It begins filming February 25 in Portland, Oregon.)

 

AK joined Jeffrey Blitz and Molly Hansen answering audience questions at a February 2 screening of Rocket Science at the Laemmle Sunset 5 Theaters in Los Angeles, California.  Pics are up now in the Gallery.

 

Rocket Science was released on DVD January 29, 2008. 

 

AK was interviewed 12/18/07 on WLBZ (Bangor, Maine) by Newscenter Anchor Rob Caldwell. She spoke about Rocket Science coming out on DVD in January, 2008; was proud of having been nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for supporting actress for Rocket Science ; said she doesn't know what's happening with Elsewhere; and talked about experiences working with Ben Stiller in The Marc Pease Experience.  Watch the full interview here.

 

In October, 2007, Variety placed AK in its annual list of "Ten Actors to Watch."

AK's reaction (brief interview) to being in the Variety list.

 

AK is the lead character (Sarah) in the thriller, Elsewhere (2007), completed but awaiting a release date. See the trailer or the behind the scenes feature on youtube.

 

AK stars (as Meg Brickman) with Ben Stiller and Jason Schwartzman in The Marc Pease Experience, still listed in IMDB.com as "post production."

AK acted (as Holly) in the second and third episodes of the fall 2007 television series, "Viva Laughlin." Unfortunately for AK, only the first two episodes aired (the pilot, which AK was not in, and the episode after that, which did include her briefly). Episode 2 aired 10/21/07.
