Melanie Lynskey is praising husband Jason Ritter for putting his own acting career on hold for her success.
“He’s the most supportive person in the world,” the Yellowjackets star told People magazine about Ritter, whom she began dating in 2013 and married in 2020. “The last few years we’ve had this role of like, whoever’s job makes the most sense, whether it’s the most exciting career wise or it’s more money, we would prioritize the one that was going to help move the person’s career forward.”
Lynskey added that her success comes at the expense of Ritter’s work, as he has been “getting offered stuff all the time” but has passed on roles in support of his wife. “It’s like genuinely sacrificing,” she said.
The actress also credited the Parenthood alum for encouraging her to take on her memorable role in the first season of The Last of Us.

Welcome back to Best Movie Trailers of the Week, a column where we handpick the best new movie trailers that have arrived online over the past week. Fantastic Four Sure, the Fantastic Four trailer could be a little stronger, but the piece is certainly a nice surprise after such a long wait. There is some fun to be had with seeing the characters back in action for those that are familiar with the source material, but the piece could be a little short on story details for Fantastic Four newcomers. However, Fox’s choice to highlight tone and mood over action and plot is still a refreshing and especially effective one.

Over the past decade, the way audiences are seeing movies has changed with the advent of VOD and digital streaming. These technological advances have allowed more and more filmmakers to bypass traditional distribution methods completely and go straight to their audience. The latest filmmaker trailblazing with the digital vanguard is actor/director Mark Webber with his third feature, “The Ever After.” Deadline reports that “The Ever After” will be a self-released affair available next month on the film’s site. This seems like the perfect – and most viable – option to reach audiences for such a low-key and intimate film. Co-starring, co-written and co-produced by Webber and his real life wife Teresa Palmer, the film follows a married photographer and actress as they struggle to make sense of their bond with one another. Melissa Leo, Rosario Dawson, Phoebe Tonkin, Joshua Leonard, Moby, and Scott Mescudi co-star, with Moby pulling double duty and scoring the film.

Where does one begin with Teresa Palmer? She has a staggering five films slated for release this year - including The Ever After, which she cowrote with her husband, director Mark Webber - and is also just a few months into her latest adventure as a mom to her infant son Bodhi. Teresa stopped by our La studios to talk about her latest movie Parts Per Billion, which is out on VOD now, and to share some uplifting thoughts on why motherhood changed the way she sees herself and her body.

A relentless self-exploration has steered actor and director Mark Webber’s filmmaking output, and increasingly it seems his preferred route of doing so is through quotation marks. Last year’s “The End of Love” starred Webber as “Mark,” an actor struggling in La with his real-life son Isaac, and now—with a new romance and marriage to “Warm Bodies” actress Teresa Palmer—here arrives “The Ever After,” a similarly self-reflexive look at marriage hiding a dark undercurrent of anxiety and abuse. We first glimpse the shores of Australia, and a series of quick cuts as Thomas (Webber) and Ava (Palmer) are wed, go clubbing, and frolic in the sea. A flash-forward then finds the couple years later in Los Angeles, drifted apart—Thomas jetting around U.S. as a fashion photographer, and former actress Ava at home parenting their young daughter. But that now-predictable structure, contrasting the highs and lows of love,...

The Cannes Film Festival is always chock full of deal reports, and today we’re hearing news about a psychological thriller titled 2:22, being shopped around at the festival by Good Universe. According to Variety, the film has just gained Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter star Benjamin Walker and Warm Bodies actress Teresa Palmer in the leading roles.
Paul Currie (TV’s Twentysomething) is set to direct for his Lightstream Pictures. The script is written by Currie, Nathan Parker (Moon) and newcomer Todd Stein. We don’t know all that much about the story yet, but it sounds like a mix of sci-fi and action in the spirit of films like Source Code and, to a lesser degree, the upcoming Tom Cruise vehicle Edge of Tomorrow. According to Variety:
Walker will portray a man whose life is derailed when an ominous pattern of events repeats itself in exactly the same manner every day,...

Rosario Dawson has been enjoying some downtime from acting for the past year, but you wouldn't know it after glancing at her IMDb profile. The actress who broke out in Larry Clarks' "Kids" back in 1995, had "Gimme Shelter" open this year and has a new film coming out this Friday, Diego Luna's sophomore effort behind the camera, "Cesar Chavez." On top of these two releases, Dawson has four more features scheduled to open before the year's end: the long gestating sequel to "Sin City," Atom Egoyan's new thriller "The Captive," Mark Webber's indie "The Ever After," and "Parts Per Billion," which she also produced. In "Cesar Chavez," Dawson plays real-life figure Dolores Huerta, a labor leader and civil rights activist who co-founded the National Farmworkers Association with the titular subject of Luna's biopic. For Dawson, the project is a unique one -- the actress was already close...

The elusive “Golden Ticket”. Beginning next Wednesday (December 4th) in a wave of four announcements, is when the official word comes out. Plenty of filmmakers are already in the know, but some will find out over the course of this Thanksgiving weekend. Having covered the festival and fest circuit for some time now, we’re already aware that worthy films that were indeed submitted will be excluded from the ’14 edition. Thousands of filmmakers won’t get the phone call, and while it can bruise dreams, this is not a rejection of quality…but rather, a preference from a programmer/programming team which reflects a larger mandate. John Cooper, Trevor Groth et al. have a difficult job and the way I see it, it’s the equivalent to draft day for a major professional sport – where a team in a given turn doesn’t go for the consensus pick, but instead...

Not that it is shrouded in mystery, but Mark Webber has a distinct way of working that might be regarded Cassavetes-like for his realism and making his narratives into true family affairs – we only need to reference The End of Love (Sundance ’12) as a prime example. And speaking of family, Webber reteams with cinematographer Patrice Lucien Cochet and here partners up with Teresa Palmer – the actress and actor are attached at the limb in more than just a creative manner. Filming commenced on The Ever After in Australia earlier in the year and apparently moved from Los Angeles and New York in July and August, which means a rough cut could have been submitted. Webber, Palmer, pint-sized Phoebe Tonkin, Jaime King, Rosario Dawson, Melissa Leo, Joshua Leonard, Tahyna Tozzi, Kid Cudi and Tom Bower are part of the film’s make-up and Before Midnight was such a hit last year...

Exclusive: Wme has signed Mark Webber, whose film The End Of Love got nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at 2012 Sundance and who just wrapped The Ever After. Webber, who wrote The End Of Love, also scripted The Ever After, and stars in it with Melissa Leo, Rosario Dawson, Kid Cudi, Jaime King, and Teresa Palmer. Webber’s earlier film Explicit Ills won the 2008 SXSW Audience Award. Webber is not only a rising director, he’s an inspiration for overcoming adversity. He was raised in Philadelphia by his mom, and both of them lived on the streets part of the time. She has become a renowned advocate for the homeless who ran for Vice President last year with the Green Party. Now he’s with a major agency. He continues with attorney Ira Schreck.

Wish You Were Here hit streets last Tuesday on DVD & VOD via the eOne Films folks, and we’ve got a clip of Aussie-born thesp Teresa Palmer (who’ll we will be seeing plenty of next year with Parts Per Billion, Malick’s Knight of Cups, Cut Bank, The Ever After) discussing the carefree character she portrayed in the psychological, tug of the rug type thriller.
Among the extras material on the disc, the clip below is among the set of cast and crew interviews (helmer Kieran Darcy-Smith, Felicity Price, Joel Edgerton, Antony Starr) that took place among what we imagine was the sun-drenched setting found in the film. While we don’t gain any additional insight into the character’s dynamic, we easily get a sense how she might approached her with a playfulness – which is of course how we are first presented to the character before the film switches in tone.

Teresa Palmer has her very own warm body on the way.
The 27-year-old Australian actress is expecting her first child with fiance Mark Webber, 33, and she shared the good news via Instagram on Monday, posting a photo of her sonogram next to a pair of baby booties.
"To my precious baby -- I'm so blessed to be your mama, we have been wishing for you for awhile," the "Warm Bodies" star wrote. "We love you so much and can't wait to kiss your little face and tiny toes. Thank you for hearing our prayers."
Her rep confirmed the pregnancy to Us Weekly, saying, "[Teresa] and Mark are over the moon excited and can't wait to add to their family." Webber also has a son with actress Frankie Shaw.
Palmer met her actor beau last September after some good old-fashioned Internet stalking. "This is actually really embarrassing," she admitted to the Herald Sun in March.
