Here’s a clip from the upcoming Our Idiot Brother featuring Elizabeth, stay tuned for more updates to the site coming soon!

There are plenty of things to be worried about for an actor when their film is about to premiere, but it’s a whole different ball game when their film is about to premiere at a movie festival. Studios are there to purchase the actors’ independent films, judges either criticize (or love) their film, and there are interviews upon interviews to conduct to promote the film.

The lovely female stars of “My Idiot Brother” — Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel and Emily Mortimer — all have done their fair share of indie films, but they all admitted to MTV’s Josh Horowitz that they got a bit nervous when they had to premiere their film into a large theater of people.

“I was really nervous last night,” Mortimer said. “I sort of forgot to be nervous in the run up to coming. I was too worried about my outfits and what shoes to bring and what parties we were going to get invited to and then you get here…”

Banks cut in, saying with a laugh, “I got reminded we were going to be judged. Really suddenly, I was like, ‘Oh my god, people are going to say that they liked it or not,’ which I don’t want to know anything. I suddenly felt terrible about it.”

The response to the Paul Rudd-starring flick has been sweet but lukewarm so far, but nothing could prepare the ladies for the awkward Q&A session that followed the event. EW.com has a really great write-up of the way things when awry after the screening, but suffice to say a questioner was dubbed The Sundance Rambler, a woman begged Rudd to appear in her animal protection PSA and it took until the end of the Q&A for someone to finally ask a related, coherent question (which led to the audience breaking into a round of applause).

I have a small gallery update for today. I have just added 5 HQ production stills from “The Next Three Days” into the gallery. I also added 1 on set photo and 3 HQ production stills from “My Idiot Brother”.

Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel, Emily Mortimer and Rashida Jones will star opposite Paul Rudd in “My Idiot Brother,” a comedy being directed Jesse Peretz and produced by Anthony Bregman’s Likely Story and Big Beach’s Peter Saraf and Marc Turtletaub.

“Brother” centers on an idealist (Rudd) dealing with his over¬bearing mother who crashes at the homes of his three ambitious sisters and brings truth, happiness and a sunny disposition into their lives while also wreaking havoc.

Banks, Deschanel and Mortimer will play the sisters.

Banks is a career-driven single about to get her big break in journalism after spending years writing about accessories at a fashion magazine; Deschanel is a bisexual whose flakiness and lies are getting in the way of moving forward with her caring, responsible girlfriend (Jones); and Mortimer plays a Park Slope mom too worried about having the perfect life and children to notice that her marriage is falling apart.

Evgenia Peretz and David Schisgall wrote the screenplay for the pic, which is slated to go before cameras next month in New York.

Banks, repped by UTA and Untitled Entertainment, next appears opposite Russell Crowe in “The Next Three Days,” directed by Paul Haggis. She also will appear in “The Details” opposite Tobey Maguire and Laura Linney.

Deschanel, repped by CAA and Seven Summits Pictures and Management, most recently starred in “(500) Days of Summer” and next appears this year in “Your Highness,” starring James Franco and Natalie Portman.

Mortimer, repped by ICM, Brillstein Entertainment Partners and Independent Talent Group, most recently appeared in “Shutter Island.”

Jones, repped by UTA and Brillstein Entertainment Partners, co-stars on NBC’s “Parks and Recreation” and recently wrapped David Fincher’s “The Social Network.”
