Selma Blair Returns to Acting with Three New Movies

Selma Blair is resuming her acting career after seven years.

The “Cruel Intentions” star is returning with three new movies, including the Israel-Hamas war drama “Stay Forte” with Judd Hirsch and the brothers Mark and Michael Polish’s “There There.” 

She will also star in supernatural thriller “Silent” from filmmaking duo Doron and Yoaz Paz.

Blair, who went public with her multiple sclerosis diagnosis in 2018, hinted she had projects in the works when I spoke with her at the Elle Women in Hollywood dinner in November: “I started feeling really better this last year and I’m back at work and doing things so I will have things to announce."

In “Silent,” Blair stars as Skylar, a sound designer who finds herself fighting ancient evil forces that are unlocked while she’s working on the restoration of a silent film.

The Polish brothers’ “There There” follows twin brothers who didn’t know each other existed for 40 years. 

It is two films in one, with Mark Polish directing the story told by one twins’ perspective while Michael directed the other twin’s story. 

The filmmakers didn’t show each other their works until they were completed. Blair has a supporting role in “There There” as one of the brother’s former love interests.

The film marks the brothers’ first movie together in more than a decade. The cast also includes Gretchen Mol, Corbin Bernsen, and Shannyn Sossamon.
