A poster and two new stills featuring Mélanie for Mike Mills’ “Beginners” have been released, and I’ve added them to the gallery. We’re getting closer to the June release date finally, so hopefully more will come!

Director Mike Mills also has a blog of “people, places, things, in around alongside the film Beginners” on the Focus Features website. See that here! There are some scattered references to Mélanie, such as that below:

On the first day of shooting with Mélanie, in the morning before we got going, I left her in her trailer with my I-pod cued up to Chan Marshall’s version of this song. When you listen to the way Chan sings this song; with such simple and real loneliness and longing, I thought this was a way to experientially share with Mélanie how much her character Anna wants love, “you kiss me, with your kiss my life begins” and simultaneously how easily it all falls apart. The way Chan sings “we are creatures of the wind, wild is the wind” feels so real to me, the words are amazing but the quality of her voice, all the emotion in there is what I hoped to communicate. Not sure, but I think Melanie came away from that thinking I was pretty intense – that’s funny.
