Getting back to work on the set of Mildred Pierce, Kate Winslet was spotted in Queens, New York City on Wednesday (May 26).

Decked out in full wardrobe, the Academy Award winning actress got herself into character and knocked out several scenes for the upcoming film.

In related news, Ms. Winslet missed a day of filming because she acquired an enormous bruise while playing basketball with her kids, Mia and Joe.

A source told the New York Post, “She fell after being hit by a basketball and suffered bruising that couldn’t be covered with make-up, so the entire production was halted on Monday.”

Kate Winslet hit her head and was badly bruised while playing basketball with her kids Sunday night. Filming of Winslet’s new HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce was suspended on yesterday so she could recover. A source said, “She fell after being hit by a basketball and suffered bruising that couldn’t be covered with make-up, so the entire production was halted Monday.” A rep for Winslet confirmed the mishap and said, “She is fine.”

Poor Kate! Let’s hope for her speedy recovery!

Warner Bros. Pictures has announced a slew of movies they will be readying for release in 2011, setting tentative release dates between April and December of next year.

The biggest announcement among them is that Steven Soderbergh will be releasing his virus thriller Contagion, starring Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow and Marion Cotillard in 3D on October 21, 2011. Having spoken with Soderbergh about 3D this time last year, he told ComingSoon.net how he had been suitably impressed when he was given an early sneak peek at James Cameron’s Avatar, so it isn’t too big a surprise that he has decided to give it a go with his next big movie.

Kate Winslet goes all action girl as she pedals through the streets of New York with her son Joe. The Revolutionary Road actress is clearly a doting mother – she was earlier seen kissing and hugging her little boy.
