The Mindhunter cast is featured in the new October issue of Empire magazine ~

The “third leg of the tripod”, in Fincher’s words, is Anna Torv as Dr. Wendy Carr, a psychologist who sees a huge opportunity in what Tench and Ford are doing: the chance to really understand what creates killers. “She really wants to put a fire under them to make it a legit study,” says Torv, who you may recognize as an FBI agent herself, albeit investigating the paranormal in Fringe. For MINDHUNTER Torv read extensively and “kind of went down the rabbit hole — everything’s so accessible on the internet“, to the point where she had to consciously pull back, because the horrific nature of the crimes left her feeling “vulnerable”. Still, she had to try to see the material through the eyes of her character, who has an enormous amount of empathy. “Because you look back at the history,” says Torv, “and not one of [the killers] had a really beautiful childhood and then decided they were gonna go out and bludgeon someone to death.”

Torv’s latest film, Stephanie, made its debut at The Overlook Film Festival in Oregon this evening. Despite cast and crew missing in attendance, the screening did feature director Akiva Goldsman and producer Jason Blum leading up a Q&A session after the film.

Much is still unknown regarding the final product, but in a review posted to IndieWire, Eric Kohl digs a little deeper into the plot of the film and Shree Crooks’ performance. And while no mention has been made yet to the delivery of Anna’s role, Torv’s character is finally given a name: Jane.

“STEPHANIE is an unnerving example of what happens when our love for our children is used as a weapon against us” – Kalyn Corrigan, Bloody-Disgusting

“Unpredictable, emotionally charged, and with great performances, STEPHANIE is a strong start for The Overlook Film Festival” – Daily Dead

Plans for release have not been disclosed, however Universal is set to release the film later this year.

Anna Torv took home the award for Most Outstanding Actress this week at the 59th annual TV WEEK Logie Awards for her role as political correspondent, Harriet Dunkley in the Foxtel Showcase series Secret City. While Torv did not attend the awards ceremony, she did tape an acceptance speech which you can watch below ~

Of course I grew up watching the Logies so this is really special and I feel incredibly honored. Thank you so much. There’s so many people I want to thank- Chris Uhlmann and Steve Lewis who wrote the book that Secret City was based on. Thank you for your generosity and also for allowing Harry to become Harriet so that I could play her. Foxtel, Brian Walsh and Penny Win, thank you. Matchbox Pictures, Joanna Werner and Penny Chapman thank you so much. And I want to thank Emma Freeman who really did steer this great big ship. That collective and our incredible writers, our outstanding cast and amazing crew came together to create a show that I am so proud of and I’m thrilled to accept this award as a direct result of everyone who worked on the production of Secret City. Thank you.

Secret City‘s Damon Herriman went on to take home the award for Most Outstanding Supporting Actor for his role as Kim Gordon.
