QUOTING MARIA |

"I'm not afraid to play my age. I never was. I've never been an ingenue. I like getting older."

Below are a few articles and reviews of Towelhead. I haven’t actually come across many reviews of the film, nor any interviews with Maria. Maybe we’ll get more press when the movie goes wide (which is either the 19th or 26th September).

| Maria at the Towelhead Los Angeles premiere |
Maria attended the Los Angeles premiere of Towelhead last night, and was wearing a strappy black & silver dress. Below is a small preview, and check back here for pictures later - I will edit this post when I have added them. I’m also working on finding a video of her appearance on Craig Ferguson last night …
Edited on September 6th: 60 photos have been added to the Gallery; see the post above for links and previews

| Hit With Opposition, ‘Towelhead’ Sticks With Its Title |
Amidst Muslim leaders’ demand of the retitling of “Towelhead”, the Warner Independent Pictures’ controversial drama stays firm with its chosen title.

Insisting that the title will be kept, Ball shared his point of view on the matter. “As a gay man, I know how it feels to be called hateful names simply because of who I am,” he explained. “Therefore, I felt it was important to retain the title of Alicia Erian’s novel, in which she so effectively dramatizes the pain inflicted by such language, something many people of non-minority descent never have to face.”

| Secret Window film screencaptures |
I added the Secret Window film screencaps last night. Maria is not in the movie much, although her character is an interesting one and it would’ve been good to see more of her. The movie is basically a one-man show for Johnny Depp (which isn’t an entirely bad thing!) but it’s fairly entertaining and high on suspense.
I also added new candids and a new still from Towelhead.
Very unfortunately I have lost all but 3 comments you have posted here on the site They got lost in a bunch of spam so got deleted - sorry!! I added a ChatBox to the sidebar the other day, so feel free to leave any and all comments on Maria and this site either on the ChatBox or here on the updates!

I came across a gorgeous new photoshoot yesterday, and have just added it to the Gallery! It was taken 2 years ago for an issue of Harper’s Bazaar (not sure which issue/edition, but I will try and find it!).
Look out for more ER & movie screencaps soon …
