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.

While recently sorting out my archives Ifound a couple of magazine articles that have not been scanned for the site, or were replaced in better quality – including some fantastic cover stories from the Australian Sunday and Filmink magazines. For a complete overview, have a look at the list below.

Toni is featured in this week’s issue of People Magazine with a lenghty interview on turning 50 and her recent appearances in “The Power” and “Mafia Mamma”: As an in-demand, Emmy-winning actress, Toni Collette has plenty of things to think about during each day — Should she take this role? That role? Will fans be inspired by her new Amazon Prime Video show The Power? Will they crack up at her upcoming big-screen comedy Mafia Mamma? Where will her career take her next? But the one thing she never, ever thinks about is her age. The Aussie star has been steadily working in film and TV since her breakout role in 1994’s Muriel’s Wedding, says that when she turned 50 in November, it was no big deal.

Happy New Year everybody. After a dismal theatrical release in the United States, “The Estate” will have its exclusive UK premiere in Sky Cinema from 13th January 2023. Radio Times has posted a compilation of interviews with the cast to promote its release: Australian actor Toni Collette is perhaps best known in recent years for her dark roles in Hereditary, Nightmare Alley, and The Staircase. But her upcoming movie The Estate, written and directed by Dean Craig, is something slightly different: a laugh-out-loud comedy. “I thought it was so outrageous, so much of it is so wrong and I love it,” she told RadioTimes.com on her initial reaction to the script. “I laughed my arse off and couldn’t stop, I wanted to do it immediately.” She continued: “I read it in the middle of COVID and it just brought me so much joy. I laughed out loud repeatedly and I thought, ‘I need that,’ and I feel the world might need that, too.” The Estate features an incredible ensemble cast made up of Anna Faris, David Duchovny, Rosemarie DeWitt, Ron Livingston and the legendary Kathleen Turner – whom Faris described working with as “terrifying and wonderful”. The complete article can be read over Radio Times.

It was a really short shoot and I don’t know if we magicked it up or it came naturally but we did become a very tight unit very quickly. I think we both loved the idea that this is a film about a love between sisters and they are just so desperate that they would do absolutely anything and we did kind of cling to each other. They really rely on each other, they are different but they very much need each other and we very much needed each other too. (Toni Collette, Radio Times, October 31, 2022)
