24 Jan 2009 The folks at The Daily Beast have chosen Mel as one of their predicted Breakout Stars of 2009! Here's what they had to say:
This New Zealand born actress is recognizable for her (non-titular) role stalking Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men, but she's ditching living rooms and bit parts for big roles in 2009. She's supporting in Steven Soderbergh's The Informant, with Matt Damon as government informant Mark Whitacre, and also shares the screen with Edward Norton in the not-a-Walt-Whitman biopic Leaves of Grass. A part in Sam Mendes' Away We Go this summer—a buzzy comedy written by Dave Eggers, starring John Krasinski of The Office, and chronicling a couple's cross-country trip in search of a good place to raise a family—makes this year a trifecta for the actress.
12 Jan 2009 Focus Features are releasing Away We Go (previously known as "Farlanders" and "This Must Be the Place") in the US on 5 June 2009. In the film, an unmarried couple expecting their first child embark on a road trip to find the perfect place to put down roots. Mel stars alongside John Krasinski, Maya Rudolph, Jeff Daniels, Catherine O'Hara, Jim Gaffigan, Allison Janney, Paul Schneider, Chris Messina, Carmen Ejogo and Maggie Gyllenhaal.
