Chicago Tribune on "American Dreamz"
Posted: 2006-04-06

The Chicago Tribune has published a great review of "American Gun". Click here to read it. Below is an excerpt of their praise on Marcia:

Marcia Gay Harden, whose performance would, in a just world, be nominated for an Oscar, is Janet, whose older son was responsible for a Columbine-style shooting at his Oregon school. In the three years since the rampage, Janet has lost her job and most of her friends and is a pariah in her small town. Her surviving son, David, in high school now, is showing escalating signs of anger -- at his mother, at his dead brother, at the world -- that keep Janet up nights. Harden, one of our best and most versatile actors, plays the demonized mother with a pitch-perfect balance of delusional calm and near-hysterical grief and guilt. A scene in which she's confronted by angry and self-righteous neighbors ranks among the most discomfiting in recent memory.


Aric Avelino and Marcia Gay Harden on "American Gun"
Posted: 2006-04-01

IFC News has met with director Aric Arvelino and Marcia Gay Harden, whose performance encompasses many of the topic's contradictions, to talk about metal detectors, moral ambiguity, and movies with a message. The full interview can be read here.

Marcia, what attracted you to the project?
I hadn't seen that type of character explored in film. What is she feeling? What is she thinking? What does the neighborhood think about her? Usually in Hollywood, you're going to explore the boys: What were they feeling? What was the hate group that they were in all about? I thought, how interesting to go for the mother and the other son, the survivors, the peripheral victims of the tragedy. I liked that, I liked that it wasn't banging a point home.


Trivia bit from the set of "The Insivible"
Posted: 2006-04-01

In a recent interview with actress Tania Saulnier (full article can be read here), there has been some background information on working with Marcia on the upcoming "The Invisible".

She...filmed a substantial role in The Invisible, a remake of a Swedish thriller that hits theatres later this year. That movie stars Nanaimo's Justin Chatwin (War of the Worlds) as a troubled teen and Oscar-winner Marcia Gay Harden as his mother. "When I saw her in Pollock, I just loved her," says Saulnier, who plays a manipulative classmate. After she and Harden filmed a scene together they continued talking on the way back to the trailers. "She gets in her car and goes, 'Come with me,'" says Saulnier, sounding star-struck for the first time. "I'm like, 'Really?' She's like, 'Yeah, come and talk with me.' I thought that was so great."
