A big thanks to Candice for letting me know that Mia is featured on the cover and in the current issue of Jane and Jane magazine. I’ve never seen this mag in stores, so I will most likely have to order it, but as soon as I get a copy in my hot little hands, scans will be added to the gallery.
Personal, Meet Political
In sharp contrast to her navel-gazing character on The L Word, Mia Kirshner has no problem thinking globally. Jane and Jane caught up to the actress in Austin, Texas, on her book tour for I Live Here, a “paper documentary” benefiting Amnesty International.
First Look Studios proudly announces the DVD release of MISS CONCEPTION. Written by Camilla Leslie and directed by Eric Styles, MISS CONCEPTION follows baby-crazed Georgina Scott (Heather Graham, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me) as she races against her ticking biological clock to conceive a child through unconventional, but comedic methods. The DVD is in stores August 5, 2008 at an SRP of $24.98.
Georgina Scott is a broody 33 year-old, who sends her boyfriend, Zak, (Tom Ellis) packing when it has become apparent that he doesn’t share her desire for a bundle of joy. Zak sets off on a documentary shoot in hopes that she’ll cool off in his absence. But Georgina discovers that early menopause runs in her family and heads for a specialist with her reluctant best friend, Clem (Mia Kirshner, “The L Word”), in tow. Learning that her baby making days are numbered, Georgina enlists Clem and their camp pal, Justin (Orlando Seale), to make the most of it. A battle plan is drawn up but their escapades become increasingly frantic as Georgina explores internet sperm donors, night clubbers, a love struck co-worker and funeral-goers in her desperate and hilarious attempts to beat the biological clock.

This is the first film clip I’ve seen that features Mia, so I thought I’d post it here for you guys. I know the film hasn’t gotten the greatest reviews ever, but Mia and Heather look utterly adorable and I’m excited to see them in a project together.
First Look Studios is pleased to announce the acquisition of “Miss Conception,” formerly titled “Buy Borrow and Steal,” starring Heather Graham, Mia Kirshner and Tom Ellis. The film is directed by Eric Styles, written by Camilla Leslie and produced by Doris Kirch. Blue Angel Films limited co-produced with Miromar Entertainment AG, in association with BBS Productions Ltd and the support of Northern Ireland Screen.
Recently acquired by First Look Studios at the Berlin film Festival, The deal was brokered by First Look’s EVP of Acquisitions, Gary Hirsch, and Oliver Mahrdt of Hanns Wolters International.
“Miss Conception” tells the story of Georgina (Heather Graham), a broody 33-year-old woman who sends her partner packing when it becomes obvious that he does not share her desire for children. Zak (Tom Ellis) hopes she’ll cool off while he is away on a planned business trip. But Georgina, discovering early menopause runs in her family, hears her biological clock ticking like an atom bomb and must answer the call. She turns to her reluctant best friend Clem (Mia Kirshner) to recruit the perfect but unsuspecting man to fulfill her dreams for a child.
“I’m delighted to have First Look Studios releasing the film theatrically in the US,” says Oliver Mahrdt. “The producer Doris Kirch and co-producer Michel Morales are looking forward to the world premiere at the 25th anniversary of the Miami Film Festival tonight.”
“I am confident that women will relate to Heather’s character in this light-hearted look at a dilemma that millions of women face. At the same time, men will enjoy watching Heather and Mia Kirshner so it is a perfect date movie,” says Gary Hirsch.
“Miss Conception” is slated for a June 2008 release.
According to various online sources, the title of Mia’s upcoming film ‘Buy Borrow Steal’ has been changed to ‘Miss Conception.’ As I stated on my Heather Graham site, I am not a fan of this new title and if I weren’t a fan of Mia and Heather and didn’t know anything about the film, the title would make me walk past it in a video store. I wish the filmmakers and producers well when it is released in theaters and when it comes out on DVD, but I just don’t feel that this particular title was the best choice in the end.
They Come Back
Starring: Mia Kirshner
March 3, 2007 @ 8:00 p.m. on the Lifetime Movie Network
Synopsis:
A young female psychologist damaged by the disappearance of a former patient reluctantly starts treating a 10 year old girl with similar symptoms. The girl was involved in a car accident that killed her parents, and now, like the former patient, she claims to be menaced by unseen forces. After a series of strange and increasingly creepy events, the psychologist begins to believe both patients may have been telling the truth.
Brian De Palma’s stint in film noir — a stint that reached its height with the release of crime classic ‘Scarface’ in 1983 — continues over twenty years later with this adaptation of James Ellroy’s novel, ‘The Black Dahlia’. In this typically 40′s crime drama, Josh Hartnett and Aaron Eckhart are two L.A. cops on the hunt for the brutal killer of aspiring Hollywood actress Elizabeth Short. Bucky Bleichert (Hartnett) and his partner Lee Blanchard (Eckhart) are drawn into the investigation, but when Blanchard begins to obsess over the case, Bleichert is left to pursue it alone, meeting along the way what can only be described as a very against-type Hilary Swank as Madeleine, the mysterious, sumptuous daughter of Hollywood tycoon Emmet Linscott. But as Blanchard grows ever more unstable, Bucky is drawn closer to his wife Kay, played by Scarlett Johansson.
The real standout in the cast, however, is Mia Kirshner (TV’s 24), who turns in a haunting, blisteringly effective performance as Short. Even though she is seen only in four key scenes, Kirshner’s performance is so evocative and searing that she should earn an Academy Award nomination, even though the movie is a disaster. Whenever she is on the screen, her performance is better than De Palma and his movie deserve.
