Kelly Macdonald has signed up for a new movie and it is not just any film… No Country for Old Men, directed by Joel Coen (The Man Who Wasn’t There, Fargo), sees Kelly in the role of Carla Jean. She was cast alongside Javier Bardem, Woody Harrelson and Tommy Lee Jones. Needless to say, this will be a major movie and something new for Kelly, who joined the cast in Las Vegas in late June for the filming.

According to IMDb, the plot of the movie:

Violence and mayhem ensue after a hunter stumbles upon some dead bodies, a stash of heroin and more than $2 million in cash near the Rio Grande.

Congratulations to Ms. Macdonald for her latest starring role! It will be amazing to see her back on screen.

I have even more wonderful news to bring - Ms. Macdonald has just received her very first nomination at the prestigious Emmy Awards for The Girl in the Cafe! Congratulations to Kelly for this amazing and well deserved honour!
