HBO is remaking the 1945 classic Mildred Pierce, with Academy Award-winning actress Kate Winslet now playing the lead. And the film’s being shot, in part, on Henry Street in Merrick.
The film, set during the Great Depression, follows a divorced, single mother, Mildred Pierce, who decides to open a restaurant, which causes strain in her relationship with her elder daughter, Veda.
The Herald stopped by the set this week to grab a few shots of Winslet & Co. on set.
Yesterday Kate Winslet was photographed on the set of Todd Haynes’ Mildred Pierce in New York. She is wearing a stunning gold floor-length dress, silver pumps and hair on period accurate finger waves. Very, very beautiful!
Getting back to work on Mildred Pierce, Kate Winslet was spotted on the set of the HBO miniseries in Queens, New York earlier today, May 26. She was decked out in full wardrobe while shooting scenes for the Todd Haynes directed project.
According to New York Post, Kate suffered a minor injury on Sunday while playing with her children, which resulted in the production of Mildred Pierce being halted on Monday. No need to worry, though, as Kate’s rep says that she’s doing just fine.
Kate Winslet hit her head and was badly bruised while playing basketball with her kids Sunday night. Filming of Winslet’s new HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce was suspended yesterday [Monday] so she could recover. A source said, “She fell after being hit by a basketball and suffered bruising that couldn’t be covered with make-up, so the entire production was halted Monday.” A rep for Winslet — who has kids Mia, 9, and Joe, 6, and announced the end of her marriage to Sam Mendes in March — confirmed the mishap and said, “She is fine.”
Looks like we’ll have to wait for Kate Winslet’s next big screen appearance until October 2011. That is when Contagion is scheduled to open – and in 3D, reports Coming Soon. This will be Kate’s first film to be released in 3D. As you may recall, Titanic will also be released in 3D in 2012.
The biggest announcement among them is that Steven Soderbergh will be releasing his virus thriller Contagion, starring Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow and Marion Cotillard in 3D on October 21, 2011. Having spoken with Soderbergh about 3D this time last year, he told ComingSoon.net how he had been suitably impressed when he was given an early sneak peek at James Cameron’s Avatar, so it isn’t too big a surprise that he has decided to give it a go with his next big movie.
Also, according to New York Times, Mildred Pierce is scheduled to be broadcast in February 2011 so us Kate fans can look forward to two projects from our favorite actress next year. Can’t wait!
