Justice is blind. Guilt sees everything. Warner Bros. has released the trailer for Clint Eastwood’s “Juror #2,” starring Nicholas Hoult, Toni Collette, J. K. Simmons, Chris Messina, Zoey Deutch, Cedric Yarbrough & Kiefer Sutherland. The film will have its world premiere at the AFI Film Festival and receive a limited release in select theaters in North America on November 1st. “Juror #2” follows family man Justin Kemp (Hoult) who, while serving as a juror in a high profile murder trial, finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma…one he could use to sway the jury verdict and potentially convict – or free – the accused killer. The trailer can be watched in the video archive. Screencaptures and the film’s poster have been added to the photo gallery.

We’re heading into a very exciting winter season with the November release of “Juror #2” and the January release of “Mickey 17”, for which the long-awaited theatrical trailer has been released today. Based on the novel “Mickey 7” by Edward Ashton, the movie follows the unlikely hero, Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattinson), who has found himself in the extraordinary circumstance of working for an employer who demands the ultimate commitment to the job… to die, for a living. Written and directed by Bong Joon Ho, the movie stars Robert Pattinson, Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, with Academy Award nominees Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo. A press tour has been a long time coming for this Warner Bros. film, which was originally set to hit theaters on March 29, 2024 but was later delayed indefinitely. According to Variety, the movie needed more time to finish after the Hollywood strikes and other production shifts. It has finally received a release date, and is currently set to hit theaters on January 31, 2025.

Another of Toni’s appearances on “The Rosie O’Donnell Show” has been added by the show’s Youtube channel in wonderful quality. In this episode from March 24, 2000, Toni sings “The Lowdown Down” from “The Wild Party”, which was about to open on Broadway on April 13. She also talks about her Oscar nomination for “The Sixth Sense”. A great blast from the past. Toni also attended the show in June of 2000, so fingers crossed for the video to be added in a couple of months.

On Friday, Toni Collette was a special guest in Doha, Quatar, to speak about her career during a masterclass at the Doha Film Institute’s Qumra. She discussed her journey from a working-class neighborhood in northwest Sydney to Hollywood star in a masterclass at the Doha Film Institute’s Qumra talent and project development event on Friday. Collette was among six top cinema professionals attending Qumra, alongside directors Leos Carax, Claire Denis, Atom Egoyan and Jim Sheridan as well as sound editor and designer Martin Hernández. She said she had been drawn to performance from an early age, firstly through musical theatre and tap dance. “My father said I came out of the womb with jazz hands towards the light,” she joked. A lenghty article on her masterclass can be read over at Deadline. Pictures from the event have been added to the photo gallery.

Here comes a great blast from the past. In September of 1999, Toni Collette – looking like the epitome of the late 1990’s – visited The Rosie O’Donnell Show to talk about the ongoing theatrical release of “The Sixth Sense”. The horror film was released in the Summer already and became one of the surprise hits of the year, ultimately earning 5 Academy Awards nominations, including one – shockingly, still the only one – for Collette. It’s a great trip down memory lane, so make sure to catch Toni’s appearance in the video archive. Screencaptures have been added to the photo gallery.

The Ellen DeGeneres Show is publishing interviews from the show’s beginnings. Among the early guests has been Toni Collette, who was in Los Angeles to promote the theatrical release of “Japanese Story” and garner some last-minute Oscar buzz for the film. The interview itself is very generic with the two questions alwa Did she have to gain a lot of weight for “Muriel’s Wedding” (yes) and did she fake appendicitis as child (yes). Still, it’s nice to see this interview for the first time – and be reminded how fast 20 years fly by. Enjoy the video segment and screencaptures.
