According to Moviefone, “HappyThankYouMorePlease” has landed a distribution deal at the Sundance Film Festival! That means that we will be able to see the film – hopefully sooner rather than later!

Congratulations to everyone involved with the film!

I have added another 30+ photos of Malin from three new events that she attended during the Sundance Film Festival! Malin is looking really pretty – so make sure you check them out below!

happythankyoumoreplease falls under the very small niche of traditional Sundance romantic comedies, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing … if the movie is good. A small indie movie with great performances, the film was helmed by Josh Radnor, best known for his role as Ted Mosby on the CBS sitcom, How I Met Your Mother. This is Radnor’s first feature film as writer and director, and it’s playing in Park City this week.

One reason this film charms is because of the excellent performances he got out of his leading actresses Malin Akerman, Kate Mara, and Zoe Kazan. We sat down with these lovely ladies to talk about the film, and to find out more about their characters.

Skiers have a term for the luxuriously smooth, dry snow that was falling on Park City, Utah, all weekend: “Champagne powder.” But the real fizzy swirl right now is the 26th annual Sundance Film Festival. Celebrating independent filmmaking is the festival’s raison d’être, so naturally there’s a ton of star-packed parties to slalom through.

The one Diesel and Absolut sponsored for James Franco and his film Howl got things going Thursday night, but corks (or, just as often, beer caps) didn’t really start to pop until Friday. That was when Philippe Chow whipped up a post-premiere dinner at the Bing Supper Club for actor/director Josh Radnor and the cast of his endearing ensemble dramedy HappyThankYouMorePlease. “I love it already, from day one,” gushed Malin Akerman. It was the Swedish-born Canadian actress’ first Sundance, and Park City reminded her of the ski hamlets she romped around in as a kid. “Everyone kind of lets their guard down because it’s cold and you’re all bundled up and cozy.” Nor does the talent necessarily waste precious time showering, she added. “Who cares? You can’t smell anything!”

Later that night, Akerman presented a “Fresh Faces” award to cast mate Zoe Kazan at a Gen Art party honoring a cadre of promising young actors. Kate Mara (who lights up HappyThankYouMorePlease as a Southern-born cabaret singer in New York) insisted that in the two years since she’d been named one, her face hadn’t changed. “I like to think it’s still fresh!”

When actress Malin Akerman headed to Sundance Thursday to promote three films at the festival: Happythankyoumoreplease, Bang Bang Club, and The Romantics, she hung around the airport in Los Angeles looking like just another passenger awaiting her plane. But when she landed in Salt Lake City, it was an entirely different situation. Watchmen fans surrounded their Silk Spectre with freshly printed glossy photos, searching for a signature. The attention seemed a bit out of place, and rather extreme, for this airport that is usually filled with ski buffs ready to attack Utah’s snowy peaks. But one week out of the year, Utah becomes a star-studded locale, and the fans are ready. “I always wonder how they know where I am,” says Akerman. “There must be some insider at the airport who calls all the Watchmen fans, because they are always the ones that show up.” And how does Akerman handle the adoration? “You’ve got to give them a ‘one more and I’ll see you at the festival.’ But they can be pretty adamant. One of these days I’m going to have to interview them to figure out how they find me.”

Akerman’s first film Happythankyoumoreplease debuted to a standing ovation. The directorial debut from How I Met Your Mother star Josh Radnor has received some solid reviews and is likely to sell by the end of the festival.

Fans of “Arrested Development” have been waiting patiently for a movie version of the television series since the show’s finale in 2006. If word on the street is to be believed, series creator Mitch Hurwitz is hard at work on the screenplay — it’s just a matter of finishing the thing and getting the cast members on the same schedule.

There’s at least one “Arrested Development” alumnus itching to get back into his manchild clothing and false limb — none other than Buster himself, actor Tony Hale. When MTV News spoke with the comedian at the Sundance Film Festival, Hale said that he and every other cast member from the series are eagerly awaiting the script.

“I actually talked to Mitch last week and he’s writing it, and [the cast members] are all on board,” said Hale. “We’re all stoked to do it.”

While Hale is eager to resume his dysfunctional relationship with the rest of the Bluth family, he also feels that waiting could be a good thing.

“I want [Hurwitz] to take his time, because the writing is such a surprise,” he said. “One week you go, okay, a seal is going to bite off your hand. By the way, Liza Minnelli is going to be your girlfriend. There are all these surprises and we want those surprises, so I want to give him as much time [as he needs].”

Speaking of Minnelli — who played Buster’s longtime lover Lucille Two on the show — Hale hopes that she’ll return for the film.

“I would love for Liza to come back,” he said. “She is such a dear. She would sit and tell us stories about her life — it was awesome!”

But Buster might have other plans. During the interview, Hale’s “HappyThankYouMorePlease” co-star Malin Akerman declared her desire to have a role in the “Arrested Development” movie, which Hale was more than happy to accommodate.

“Malin’s going to be Buster’s girlfriend,” he joked. “He’s going from Liza Minnelli to Malin Akerman.”

As far as where he wants Buster to go in the film, Hale said he only had one suggestion for Hurwitz.

“I did mention that I want Buster to be on ‘American Idol,’” he said. “But he didn’t like that idea.”

Malin is currently in Park City, Utah for the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and I have already added 100+ photos of her at events throughout this past weekend! She has been busy promoting “HappyThankYouMorePlease” and her other movie, “The Romantics”, is still set to premiere – so expect more photos of Malin from the festival soon!
