Malin Akerman and Kate Mara play two important women in the life of Josh Radnor’s character, Sam, in the upcoming HappyThankYouMorePlease. We talked to the actresses at their recent LA press day for the film, and both admitted that it took some convincing before Josh would cast them in his directorial debut. Their persistence paid off, though — not only was the movie one of our favorites at last year’s Sundance Film Festival, but it gave both stars the chance to stretch their boundaries. Malin sports a bald cap to portray a woman with alopecia and Kate debuts a lovely singing voice in the movie, which is in limited release this week. Check out our interview with the leading ladies and find out what Josh had to say about his costars.

With all the excitement surrounding the various comic book movies these days, the casting rumor mill has seemingly been churning out new names by the hour — particularly with Warner Bros. heavily-hyped “Superman” reboot and “The Dark Knight Rises.”

With regard to “The Dark Knight Rises,” we’ve been hearing more about actors rumored to be joining the cast rather than actresses — aside from Anne Hathaway landing the role of Selina Kyle, of course. Still, with director Christopher Nolan reportedly saying there’s another female role in “Dark Knight Rises” up for grabs, MTV News caught up with one of the actresses on the rumored contender list, Kate Mara, to find out if she’s seen a “Dark Knight Rises” script.

Um, I…unfortunately I never did get to see any sort of script,” Mara said during the press day for her upcoming film “happythankyoumoreplease.”

“So I wouldn’t be able to tell you a thing. And I wouldn’t even be able to tell you anything about anything about it,” she added. “So uh… super boring [answer] on that topic.”

Fair enough, we know that all parties involved or even potentially involved in the super-secret world of superhero films are sworn to secrecy. Still, we pressed on… and asked Mara and her “happythankyoumoreplease” co-star Malin Akerman if they’d be game for a role in Snyder’s as-yet-untitled “Superman” reboot, since the leading ladies in that film have yet to be cast.

“Do it! Put me in it!” Mara said excitedly.

“Put us in!” Ackerman agreed.

“You know, I think there’s a lot of rumors going around about a lot of different things and you look on the internet and go, ‘Oh really?! I’m in that?’” she said. “Or, ‘Attached to that? Cool. Great. I hope my agent calls me and lets me know,’ I think there’s a lot of rumors going around. I’d jump at the chance to work with Zack again, but… you know. We’ll see what happens.”

Mara, who confessed she reads “all” the rumors, would also be totally on-board for a role in the “Superman” reboot.

“I love superhero movies too,” she said. “I’m sort of obsessed.”

“They’re fun,” Akerman added, citing her time in “Watchmen.” “You get to fight crime. I mean I don’t have these muscles for nothing. You know what I mean?”

The upcoming biopic “Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story” might be about one of the porn industry’s most famous stars, but Malin Akerman said there won’t be any “gratutious” sex in the upcoming film.

The 32-year-old actress stopped by Access Hollywood Live on Tuesday and revealed how far she’ll go in the role that Lindsay Lohan was once set to play.

“I’ll go as far, as long as it’s not gratuitous, if it makes sense for the story,” she told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover. “It’s a lot more about her, she had a very tortuous life. It’s a lot more behind the scenes of her and her husband’s relationship.”

Malin said the story would focus more on the adult actress’ adversities and not about her risqué profession.

“There will be some disturbing moments, but it won’t be very sexual. It will be more disturbing than anything,” she explained.

When it comes to stepping in for Lindsay in the film, Malin told Billy and Kit that she’s had no contact with Lindsay, who was forced to drop out of the project after being sent to rehab.

“I don’t know her personally at all. I hadn’t met her before, so no contact with her,” Malin said. “I think we’re very different people… again, I don’t know her… I’m not really out much in the public eye, other than when I’m here with you guys or, you know, doing a movie.”

For her current movie, “Happythankyoumoreplease,” the actress plays a woman suffering from Alopecia universalis (a condition that causes hair loss), something Malin deeply committed to making authentic by shaving off her eyebrows.

“They’re back!” she said of her formerly buzzed brows. “Actually it’s really great trick for any woman for wants to look like five years younger, shave them off! All of a sudden, you just look fresh… at least that’s what my husband told me.

“I wasn’t brave enough to shave my whole head,” she continued. “[I was] a little nervous, a little nervous, the buzzer of the shaver went on, and I said, ‘Alright, we’re doing this!’”

Having no eyebrows lead the actress to a peculiar discovery.

“It’s amazing because you get in the shower and you realize that you need your eyebrows for the water to not leak into your eyeballs,” she added.

“Happythankyoumoreplease” written, directed and co-starring “How I Met Your Mother’s” Josh Radnor, hits theaters on March 4.

The trailer for “Elektra Luxx” has just been released! The movie will be released on March 11, 2011.

There is now a trailer for “Happythankyoumoreplease” released – you can watch it below! The movie will be released in theaters on February 18th.
