Have you guys been watching The Killing on AMC? I wasn’t watching it until this past weekend, when I got caught up in the marathon and then had to watch the whole thing on DVR. I’m now obsessed – it’s a really thoughtful, interesting, well-done detective story with excellent performances and great production value. And the miniseries has helped launch a barely-known character actress (if you don’t watch Big Love, that is) into The Next Big Thing. Her name is Mireille Enos, and she plays Detective Sarah Linden, a woman whose empathy and compassion is scrawled all over her face. But it’s getting more difficult to hide Mireille’s beauty behind oversized fisherman sweaters and non-existent makeup – the woman is stunning. And now she’s going to be working with Brad Pitt. Maybe. Probably.
Paramount Pictures, once shaky about the prospects of the Marc Forster-directed zombie extravangza World War Z, is now on track to make the picture this summer. I’m told that Mireille Enos, star of the AMC hit series The Killing, is in talks to play Karin Lane, the wife of Gerard Lane, the character played by Brad Pitt in the adaptation of the Max Brooks book. In The Killing, she plays Sarah Linden, the homicide detective trying to solve the murder of Rosie Larsen. This will be the first major-studio starring role for Enos, who starred for three seasons on HBO’s Big Love. She’s repped by Innovative and Authentic.
There had been speculation that Paramount would not bite on the Plan B-produced WWZ because it has a $125 million budget. But as Deadline reported, the studio brought in a couple of risk-sharing partners that will include David Ellison’s Skydance. That cleared the way for the movie version of the book that looks at the aftermath of a global zombie war 10 years after the conflict, with a researcher for the UN Postwar Commission interviewing survivors in countries that were decimated by flesh-eaters. It was thorough, and a thoroughly creepy read. Matt Carnahan wrote the most recent draft of the script, after earlier drafts by Michael J. Straczynski.

I can see it. I can also see some juicy rumors about Mireille and Brad’s sexy times if she ends up getting cast. Except that I doubt the tabloids would bite at it, would they? Because she’s not well-known enough. And it’s easier for them to just run stories about Brad and Aniston. But the idea of Brad and Mireille together… is hot. So is the idea of Angelina and Mireille together. How about Brad, Angelina and Mireille? Also hot. That’s what happens when you add a ginger to the mix: anything goes!
By the way, I am SO not interested in World War Z. It sounds like a boring waste of money to me.

I’m not interested in that movie either, but happy for her if she gets a big studio role. She was always good on Big Love, and she’s great on The Killing.

@bite me, i agree.

She’s pretty but I don’t see gorgeous and sexy. I really don’t understand why this site believes that Brad and Angelina are having affairs with everybody in their eyesight. Of course the tabloids are going to say they are having an affair. They even report there’s an affair when they haven’t even met costars.

Well if I remember rightly, in the original series, the character wears a fishermans sweater so that was copied here. The wardrobe could’ve still been a bit more tailored and sleek but Mirielle was pregnant during filming so the bulky sweater, coats, etc, helped hide her baby bump.

If “empathy and compassion scrawled on a face” look like that, I’d rather be bitchy!

Wow! She’s wall-eyed! LOL. Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder; I found Victor Garber to be sexy in Alias. And Robert Patrick to be smokin’ hot in ‘The X-Files’. My infatuations can be hard to explain to my 20 year old mates.

Angelina and Mirielle together takes the cake.
You know, I hate bisexual both-at-once cliches (especially being bisexual myself), but as big a fan of Angie as I am, I never once considered: do they have threesomes? How have I not thought of this? That would be incredibly hot, and she’s such a kinky, sexual person (who does happen to be attracted to women as well), so it would sort of make sense.

Lottie…younger Nicole Kidman?!?! I don’t have anything positive to say about NK but this woman looks years older…
Anyhows she’s got a great figure but just a meh face…maybe her beauty comes alive when she is on screen with soft focus and digital enhancement! (must have gotten out of the b1tchy side of bed this am!)
Kaiser, can’t agree with u on this one, sorry think you’re on ur own

‘World War Z’ was an awesome novel in the vein of Studs Terkel’s ‘The Good War,’ much better suited to an AMC TV series than a motion picture. I wonder, if you knew anything about the book, would you be so dismissive? Why you gotta hate?

I also caught that marathon of “The Killing” and now I am hooked. And I really do like Mireille.
But I am greatly annoyed with the methhead new detective that she is stuck with. I am still confused by that character. I am hoping there is some clarity why he looks like a 18 year old emo kid.

The book was actually VERY good and my husband and I were thrilled when they announced it was being made into a movie. (not sure about Brad in the roll though) meh!

And I am SO excited for World War Z (if they ever finally manage to make it). The book was absolutely fantastic. I can only hope the movie is anywhere near as good.

World War Z was a well-done novel, but wouldn’t appeal to mass audiences IMHO. I don’t see how they would be able to translate the book into a cohesive film, successfully.

Kaiser, you tricked me! When I originally loaded this page none of the images loaded so I read the article looking forward to seeing pics of this beauty you described when I got home. When I reloaded I was HIGHLY disappointed. I am NOT seeing what you see. I even gave her the benefit of the doubt and researched other pics. She’s attractive but perhaps after reading your description what I’m seeing pales in comparison. I think you set me up! I SO don’t see her being fetching enough to tantalize Brad or threaten their relationship high celebrity profile or not. Angie maybe, but Brad, NO. On another note I think the kids and family have stabilized and locked those two down for the long haul. As in, at least until all the kids are reading and writing proficiently.

It’s not just the tabloids who won’t bite… Brad Pitt traded up partners himself, for someone with more star power.

Well I think she’s beautiful, and naturally beautiful, not that horrible bland manufactued beauty. Gorgeous eyes and lovely colouring.
What is odd to me is the idea that any woman who comes within touching distance of Brad Pitt would fall under his spell?! He seems like a nice guy, a great dad etc etc but irresistable?! I think not.

She is really pretty. And young. Looks healthy.

She is nothing like Jolie. Total opposite. This woman looks normal. Not Pitt’s type if Jolie is what he likes.

World War Z is an *incredible* book.
I’m worried about the movie version. What was awesome about it, was the scope of it. It was a collection of various accounts of the war on a global scale. If they focus on Pitt as a main character it’s going to SUCK big time. Won’t be the same if they focus on one family or person’s tale of survival!

@Roma, game of thrones is great. The books are amazing! In the books, daerneys stormborn is actually 13 when she is married off. Her character changes dramatically as the series progresses. Give the books a try when this season ends. They’re definitely worth reading and will get you through the withdrawal until the next season begins

Brad’s type?what type?Brad dated Juliette, was engaged to Goopy, married Jen,had kids with Angie. Besides being actresses these women have nothing in common. If you throw in Thandie and Robin Givens. He has no type. The tabs will bite though they had him with Diane (IB), Natalie Portman for a movie that was never made and a woman on his last movie that he never met

Watch the original Danish version of the killing it was amazing its got subtitles but so worth it. The actress in the original was great, although this girl is pretty too if a bit young.

World War Z is an excellent book! Studs Terkel meets zombies. I met Max Brooks and he such a charming and talented person. This book is chilling and relates to so many issues across the world. Listen to the audio book on a road trip. Alan Alda, Mark Hamill and John Turturro all read for it.

Brad’s look is for the film he was shooting. I like that he is never afraid to change his look. Most actors never do. they look the same in every single film
She is pretty to me. Reminds me of Julianne Moore a bit. I like her moody and semi emotionless character on The Killing. It fits.
But the press really needs to move on with all these romance crap rumors.

Brad registers zero hotness with me, whether he’s washed or not. Of course, I’ve heard that he kinda has an odor problem, that he either doesn’t wear deodorant, or it doesn’t work.

As a loon I have to say this a BS story no other Hollywood star is put to these standards. Sure this woman is attractive the issue is no one likes his ‘wifey’ and would like him to cheat as opposed to Ben Affleck who could f—k 40 strippers but everyone wants him to be faithful so the tabs have a short memory.

World War Z is an incredible book on all fronts — I hope Brad doesn’t eff it up. And add me to the list of those obsessed with “The Killing.” My husband and I were both sobbing by the end of the premiere.

well, brad is more hotness now than ever, i also love his ability to become his character in his movies, and he is very believable, she would be lucky to work opposite a talented actor such as brad, brad makes very diverse quality movies, he put people in the seats by his name alone, i don’t like this kind of movie, but i will watch brad in any thing.

maybe it’s a bad picture of her, but I don’t see enough “gorgeousness” to ever replace Ms. Jolie. Although she has the super skinny factor required for all Brad’s main squeeze’s… and he was engaged to Juliette Lewis, so if we run our imagination… okay maybe

@mln76; i agree with the Ben Affleck observation too.
Well, i dunno…just staring at Pitt in anything enchants me…and not on a sexual level only. the way his life has been so dynamic in terms of all the life, love, appearance and acting choices he’s made, just embodies all kinds of things and ideas to me.
So… i’ll probably see this just cos i like him.
