Next Movie compiled a list of 15 actors and actresses who they believe will be the biggest fall breakout stars of 2011. Among them was our very own Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Here’s what they had to say about her:

In this prequel to John Carpenter’s terrifying 1982 movie, Winstead takes a flamethrower to her “Scott Pilgrim” alter ego Ramona Flowers, not to mention a whole buttload of slimy, gooey, awful aliens. While we loved Ramona’s cool style and multicolored hair, it’s great to see Winstead as a parka-wearing scientist caught in the middle of an increasingly horrific situation. (Not to mention that Carpenter’s “The Thing” was all dudes, all the time.) We’ll be seeing more of Winstead next summer as Mary Todd Lincoln in Timur Bekmambetov’s big screen adaptation of “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,” alongside Benjamin Walker, Dominic Cooper, and Anthony Mackie. So protect your neck — Ms. Winstead’s coming.

Mary’s star has always shined, it’s only a matter of time until the rest of Hollywood and the rest of the world notices if you ask me. Best wishes to Mary and her career. 🙂

John Moore (Max Payne) is now the official director for the fifth installment of the Die Hard series.

A draft of the script was written by Skip Woods (The A-Team, X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and is described as sending John McClane and his son to Russia. No word on who will portray his son.

Willis is of course returning and even though Mary Elizabeth Winstead played McClane’s daughter in Live Free or Die Hard, her character’s brother was only briefly mentioned. His character has not been seen since Noah Land played him in the original Die Hard.

Production will start soon, on location in Russia. (Source)

So apparently Mary won’t return as Lucy Gennaro McClane as many fans had hoped for. 🙁
