Mary Elizabeth Winstead (The Thing) is set to star opposite John Goodman (Big Lebowski) in producer J.J. Abrams’ new psychological thriller The Cellar. Winstead plays a woman who wakes up after a car accident trapped in a cellar by a man who claims he has saved her from the apocalypse outside.

Winstead’s character must decide whether she believes the outside world has gone to shit, or if the fat bastard holding her captive is pulling off the greatest pick-up line ever.

Winstead’s genre creds include Timur Bekmambetov’s Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof, Hideo Nakata’s The Ring 2 and the James Wong frighteners Final Destination 3 and Black Christmas.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead is part of Clatto’s list of The 20 Hottest Women Working In Horror/Sci-fi Today.
