On Tuesday, Toni Collette attended the premiere of Prime Video’s “The Power” in London, wearing a colorful cottagecore-inspired ensemble from Zimmermann’s fall 2023 collection. “The Power” is a British sci-fi drama developed by Raelle Tucker, Naomi Alderman and Sarah Quintrell. The series is based on Alderman’s 2016 novel of the same name. In addition to Collette, the series stars Auli’i Cravalho, John Leguizamo and Toheeb Jimoh. The show premieres on Prime Video on March 31. Earlier this day, she and co-star John Leguizamo attended “This Morning” (see next update). Pictures from the premiere have been added to the photo gallery.

On Saturday, Toni Collette made a rare public appearance (her first since the pandemic started in 2020) on the British Saturday night show “Ant and Dec’s Saturday Takeaway”. “I love British Saturday night TV,” she told them. “And cheeky little British men who never seem to age.” During the Saturday Night at the Movies game, Toni had to guess the titles of movies while players reenacted them at home, securing the winning family get a seat for the series finale live from Universal Orlando. Screencaptures and a couple of brief clips have been added to the archives. The promotional tour for “The Power” will start this week and Toni is scheduled to appear on “Live with Kelly and Ryan” on Friday, so we can cross our fingers for more public appearances.

Paramount’s “Mafia Mamma”, opening April 13 in cinemas, stars Toni Collete as an American woman who inherits her grandfather’s mafia empire in Italy. Guided by the firm’s trusted consigliere (Monica Bellucci), she hilariously defies everyone’s expectations, including her own, as the new head of the family business. Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight) directs. Screencaptures from the trailer have been added to the photo gallery.

From trophy to tyrant, outcast to outlaw, loner to leader, mayor to mutineer… how will The Power transform you? Today, Prime Video debuted the electrifying official trailer for the global thriller “The Power”. The first three episodes of The Power will premiere exclusively on Prime Video on Friday, March 31, with new episodes available each Friday, leading up to the season finale on May 12. The series stars Toni Collette as Mayor Margot Cleary-Lopez, alongside John Leguizamo as Rob Lopez, Auli’i Cravalho as Jos Cleary-Lopez, Toheeb Jimoh as Tunde Ojo, and Josh Charles as Daniel Dandon. Also on board are Eddie Marsan as Bernie Monke, Ria Zmitrowicz as Roxy Monke, Zrinka Cvitešić as Tatiana Moskalev, Halle Bush as Allie Montgomery, and more.

Naomi Alderman’s 2016 dystopian thriller The Power was an instant classic of speculative fiction – the kind of thought experiment that destabilizes our sense of what’s possible. What would happen if teenage girls had the ability to electrocute at their fingertips? What would the world be like if women didn’t fear men anymore? How would women wield their new strength, and how would men push back? The novel imagines a cascade of aftershocks as the balance of gender power shifts. Toni Collette hadn’t read The Power when she agreed to star in the Amazon Prime Video series adaptation, premiering this March, playing fictional Seattle mayor Margot Cleary-Lopez. “I often don’t read the source material – I like to focus on the scripts that I’m given, because that’s what’s chosen to be focused on,” Collette tells Vanity Fair by phone from Sydney. But she also points out that the role came to her very abruptly. The series began shooting in early 2020, with Leslie Mann in the role of Margot, but the pandemic shut down production. Last year, Collette was brought in to replace Mann, and all her previously filmed scenes had to be re-done. Vanity Fair has posted a lenghty accompanying article for the teaser trailer, including an interview with Toni. Screencaptures from the trailer have been added to the photo gallery.

Today, Prime Video debuted first-look images for the highly anticipated series The Power. The emotionally driven, global thriller from SISTER (Chernobyl) is based on British author Naomi Alderman’s award-winning novel, and will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in March.

The Power is our world, but for one twist of nature. Suddenly, and without warning, teenage girls develop the power to electrocute people at will. The series features a cast of remarkable characters from London to Seattle, Nigeria to Eastern Europe, as the Power evolves from a tingle in teenagers’ collarbones to a complete reversal of the power balance of the world.

Toni Collette stars as Mayor Margot Cleary-Lopez, alongside John Leguizamo as Rob Lopez, Auli’i Cravalho as Jos Cleary-Lopez, Toheeb Jimoh as Tunde Ojo, Josh Charles as Daniel Dandon, Eddie Marsan as Bernie Monke, Ria Zmitrowicz as Roxy Monke, Zrinka Cvitešić as Tatiana Moskalev, Halle Bush as Allie Montgomery, and more. The Power comes from Amazon Studios and SISTER, with Raelle Tucker (True Blood) serving as showrunner. Three pictures featuring Toni have been added to the photo gallery.
