I like when she does these smaller movies that appear to have heart - way more than the more recent crop of action-style movies. Just cause the action ones tend to flounder without budget, while indies can still be good with only story.

I do tend to prefer the dramas, I admit. Although I'm fond of Homecoming, because it was super fun to see her play bat**** crazy, lol.

Same! I meant more her foray into films like Beyond Justice and 24 Hours. They seem pretty generic.

And let's not forget THAT ending. Yeah, liked Homecoming too.

Oh, THOSE. Well, it depends on how they play out, I guess, but yeah, they do seem like generic action indies.

TRAILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a couple quick shots of Mischa (she's barely in the trailer). Doesn't look that great but its definitely a different film for Mischa though.

According to someone on instagram it'll be released pretty soon.

Exclusive trailer premiere: 'Mining for Ruby'

**Cristofle** · 07-16-2014, 07:42 PM

It looks beautiful in terms of location, but I'm confused- is it about science or domestic violence? Or both?

Sam_MC · 07-17-2014, 12:13 AM

I agree, it looks beautiful in terms of the shoot.

But I don't think it's an effective trailer as I have very little idea what the movie is about.

The Shadow Strikes · 07-17-2014, 09:50 AM

I'm disappointed to see so little of Mischa in the trailer.

**Cristofle** · 07-17-2014, 03:32 PM

It's funny that Mischa and Billy are like, top billed and yet have glorified cameos in the trailer, lol.

Sam_MC · 07-17-2014, 07:19 PM

They both did only shoot for a micro second so they probably only have a few scenes each in the movie.

Sam_MC · 07-18-2014, 09:39 PM

It only just occurred to me that the article for the movie says that this will be out VOD from August 1st

Mining for Ruby unearths love, Alaskan style.

Directed by Zoe Quist, the indie drama — on video on demand beginning Aug. 1 — stars Daniel Ponickly as a widower named Jack who's in a downward spiral of depression, and Antoinette Kalaj is Ruby, a grad student studying environmental engineering in the 49th state, where the movie was actually filmed.

After incessant persuading from his sister (Mischa Barton), Jack finally leaves the cozy confines of his cabin in Alaska and luckily meets and falls quickly for Ruby. However, this love story is not destined to be an easy one — she not only has a psycho ex (Jonathan Bennett) who likes a good scrap but Ruby also throws the whole town into a tizzy when, against the advice of her professor (Billy Zane), she inadvertently gets embroiled in a poisonous waste crisis.

Love isn't the only hazard in 'Mining for Ruby'

**Cristofle** · 07-19-2014, 06:04 PM

Well, that does make the trailer more clear, lol.

Cablebot3000 · 07-26-2014, 01:32 PM

Hey guys, heres a clip from the film, no Mischa, but oh well. The acting seems alright but it really is a beautifully shot film.
