Toni Collette surprised a sold-out Glasgow Film Festival audience at a special screening of her breakout film Muriel’s Wedding. Her presence at the screening was kept tightly under wraps until she joined GFF staff on stage for a Dancing Queen lip-synch to the amazement of everyone in the audience. She then shared her memories of making the film when she was just 21 years old with the audience and chatted with GFF director Allison Gardner, who is celebrating her final year at the festival. Collette revealed she was initially invited to make a video to introduce the film but was filming in London so decided to come in person. She said: “Any excuse to come to Scotland and any excuse to celebrate film. “I really did not know what to expect […] but it’s 30 years. I turned 21 when I was making this film and I’m now 52 and it really amazes me an experience that changed by life profoundly still resonates with people and this character means so much to people and continues to inspire people so thank you for having me here tonight. I’m quite moved.” The film, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, was screening at Cottiers, an atmostpheric venue in a former church in the West End that’s used as a wedding venue.
