'Sunshine Cleaning' Exclusive: Stars Emily Blunt and Mary Lynn Rajskub
Premiere chats with the stars of 'Sunshine Cleaning,' the pitch-black comedy that was the talk of Sundance.
By Ryan Stewart
This may well be the year that Emily Blunt goes from being a well-known industry player to a bona fide star with her breakout role as British monarch Queen Victoria in The Young Victoria expected to turn heads this fall. On top of that, Blunt confirmed during our interview that she'll soon star opposite Benicio Del Toro in Universal's big-budget updating of its classic horror property, The Wolf Man. After that, who knows, world domination? In Sunshine Cleaning, one of two movies Blunt brought to this year's Sundance, the actress stretches to play a lazy, pot-smoking American who gets roped into starting an unlikely crime-scene cleaning business with her sister, played by the chirpy star of Enchanted, Amy Adams.
Playing the operator of a blood bank who has eyes for Blunt's character is Mary Lynn Rajskub, an actress immediately recognizable to fans of Fox's hit drama series 24. Whether Rajskub will soon be seen in a movie version of that hit show remains to be seen, although she told us that the smart money says it will happen two years from now when the show calls it quits. Rajskub also talked to us about her budding stand-up comedy career and the documentary she wants to make next.
