I just updated our gallery today with over 1,400 captures of Anna in the movie “Mama’s Boy” and another 200+ captures from the deleted scenes of the film. You can view the captures I added by clicking on the thumbnails below.

Anna will be a guest on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Thursday, April 2nd. The show airs on the ABC network – make sure you check your local TV listings for exact air times in your area!

Anna is featured in the April 2009 issue of “Elle” magazine – with Reese Witherspoon on the cover. Check out an excerpt of her interview:

Channeling a Private Benjamin–era Goldie Hawn, interweaving her bottle-blond sex appeal and innate dorkiness to make us laugh until we hurt, Anna Faris has always been one of those genius comedic talents who doesn’t get enough screen time. Maybe because her trademark ditz humor—off-kilter in the best possible way—is just too…smart? She proved slapstick wasn’t a guys-only game in the Scary Movie franchise, provided levity in Lost in Translation as a dim-witted starlet, and in the obscure but brilliant stoner film Smiley Face, her take on the archetypal lovable pothead put everyone in Pineapple Express to shame. Thankfully, we saw more of her (lots more) in 2008’s The House Bunny. In the guilty-pleasure comedy produced by Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison films, Faris outshone the script as an ousted Playboy pet named Shelley who rescues a sorority from eternal nerdom by becoming a den mother.

The 32-year-old Seattle-bred actress originally came up with the idea of Shelley before pitching it to Sandler (in full costume, no less) and is ready to take matters into her own hands again. “I need to create more of the roles that I want to play, because there just aren’t that many out there for comedic women,” Faris says. “Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller—they create their own stuff. Maybe it’s up to comedians to take the reins.” Fine by us if she wants to become the female version of Seth Rogen, with whom she costars in this month’s Observe and Report. It’s a dark, dark comedy about a wayward mall cop and his dream date, Brandi, a drug-loving makeup-counter girl whom Faris deems “horrible.” So will she be funny and evil? “My job is to get the audience to hate me,” Faris says. “I was kind of giggling the whole time at how naughty I get to be.”

There is a podcast with Anna from the SXSW Festival at Greencine.com. You can listen to the podcast at https://www.greencine.com/central/annafarispodcast.

Quickly becoming one of the go-to heroines of screen comedy, Anna Faris (Smiley Face, The House Bunny) handily and hilariously steals each of her scenes in writer-director Jody Hill’s Observe and Report, which screened as the centerpiece film at SXSW. Like others who have pointed out the similarities, it really does play like the comic analogue to Taxi Driver, its disturbing “jokes” provoking mostly nervous laughter, with a doozy of a punchline. From the fest synopsis:

At the Forest Ridge Mall, head of security Ronnie Barnhardt (Seth Rogen) patrols his jurisdiction with an iron fist. The master of his domain, he combats skateboarders, shoplifters and the occasional unruly customer while dreaming of the day when he can swap his flashlight for a badge and a gun. Ronnie’s delusions of grandeur are put to the test when the mall is struck by a flasher. Driven by his personal duty to protect and serve the mall and its patrons, Ronnie seizes the opportunity to showcase his underappreciated law enforcement talents on a grand scale, hoping his solution of this crime will earn him a coveted spot at the police academy and the heart of his elusive dream girl Brandi (Anna Faris), the hot make-up counter clerk who won’t give him the time of day. But his single-minded pursuit of glory launches a turf war with the equally competitive Detective Harrison (Ray Liotta) of the Conway Police, and Ronnie is confronted with the challenge of not only catching the flasher, but getting him before the real cops do.

On the pool patio at the Four Seasons hotel in Austin, I sat down with Faris to chat about the losers she loves, how her friends and family disagree with the moviegoing masses, and whether she’d let me take her out for Texas barbecue.

Anna has been in Texas these past days at the South by Southwest Festival to promote “Observe and Report”. She attended the screening of the film and the press conference with co-star Seth Rogen. I’ve uploaded photos of Anna at both events – click on the thumbnails below to see all of them!
