Toni Collette is featured in a stunning cover story and interview on today’s You Magazine, which is a supplement of The Mail on Sunday in the United Kingdom. She was also featured with an interview in the Italian Grazia magazine as well as Woman’s Weekly and People. Thanks to Alvaro for the heads-up. All scans can be found below and in the photo gallery.

USA Today has a nice interview and photo shoot with Toni Collette and Nicholas Hoult on “Juror #2″: Toni Collette played a mom in movies before she was one in real life, so she’s paid special attention to the career rise of her “About a Boy” co-star Nicholas Hoult. Twenty-two years after appearing with Hugh Grant in the coming-of-age dramedy, Hoult and Collette got a kick out of being cast together again in director Clint Eastwood’s new courtroom drama “Juror #2” (in select theaters Friday). And on their first day of filming – in a moment of emotion and confrontation – Collette felt very much in the scene but also “like a proud mother.” “Like, oh, my God, look at my boy go! He was so good,” she recalls in an interview alongside Hoult. “He’s become like this incredible actor.” The complete interview can be read over at USA Today.

You never know quite what to expect from a Bong Joon Ho film. Parasite took the world – and the Oscars – by storm with its shapeshifting, genre-mashing narrative. Memories Of Murder was a largely sober serial-killer thriller, but with a higher-than-usual number of dropkicking detectives. Amid rip-roaring monster movie The Host comes a slapstick-comedy setpiece at a funeral. But under it all, Director Bong often picks at stories of people ekeing out life under the crushing weight of capitalism, heightening the absurdity of our everyday world. That continues in Mickey 17, starring Robert Pattinson – multiple times over, in fact – as Mickey, who agrees to be an ‘expendable’, sent on an intergalactic colonisation mission where he’ll be ‘reprinted’ every time he dies. It is, Director Bong tells Empire in our world-exclusive Mickey 17 issue, “the most human story” he’s ever made. And, as with his previous work, it’s not necessarily painting the most flattering portrait of humanity. “Ultimately, the story is about how pathetic humans can be,” Bong explains. “It’s almost like you can smell every human character in the film — their piss stains and their smelly socks.” Stinking up the screen will be Pattinson, whose Mickeys are tasked with helping to prepare the ice world of Niflheim – crawling with creatures known as ‘creepers’ – for human habitation. Except, in a mishap, Mickey 18 ends up being printed prematurely, before Mickey 17’s demise – and both co-existing simultaneously spells potential disaster for his (or, their?) future. Especially when Mark Ruffalo’s virulently anti-expendable politician Marshall is in the picture. Read Empire’s full Mickey 17 feature – speaking to Bong Joon Ho, Robert Pattinson, Steven Yeun and Naomi Ackie about their oddball sci-fi odyssey – in the December 2024 issue, on sale Thursday 24 October.

It’s that quiet time again when we’re eagerly waiting for news on any of Toni’s upcoming projects – and there are plenty of them. In the meantime, I’ve tidied up the archives and have added a couple of magazine scans and articles that are new to the site. It’s a nice trip down memory lane with reviews from the ’00s and ’10s, covering everything from “Little Miss Sunshine” to “A Long Way Down” and “Lucky Them” to “Miss You Already”. A complete list of updates can be found below.

Toni Collette is featured in a new exclusive collector’s edition of Rolling Stone AU/NZ, in which they embark on a journey across the Southern Hemisphere to unveil the 50 most iconic Australian stars. As Kasumi Borczyk writes: With arguably the greatest emotional range in Hollywood, every role that Toni Collette touches turns to cinema magic. In her breakout role in Muriel’s Wedding, Toni Collette famously gained eighteen kilograms in seven weeks to play the part of social outcast Muriel Heslop in one of the campiest depictions of Bogan Australia to ever grace the silver screen. In the Sixth Sense, her first major Hollywood role, she plays the mother of Cole Sear in a psychologically-charged, award-winning performance. Then in The United States of Tara she plays a suburban housewife with dissociative identity disorder, acting multiple personas within the one character. Famous for her diverse filmography, her versatility and her willingness to push her acting towards the extreme ends of the emotional spectrum, she has continually moved audiences in genres as varied as horror to comedy to drama. The complete bit can be read over at Rolling Stone AU/NZ.
