Collider Ladies Night & Collider Forces

You won’t have to get too far into this new installment of Collider Ladies Night to learn that Sarah Paulson is one of my absolute favorite individuals in the industry. I’m a diehard American Horror Story fan and marvel at her on-screen work across the board, but over the years, I’ve also come to deeply appreciate how her passion, honesty and attention to detail shines through in all of our interv...

From the early audition that proved to Kate Mara's mother that she had what it takes to become an actor to scoring a role in Brokeback Mountain, working with Ridley Scott on The Martian and then some, we’re covering as much of it as possible on Collider Ladies Night in honor of Mara’s latest release, A Teacher. Mara leads the FX series as Claire Wilson, a teacher starting a new job at a high schoo...

Breaking Bad alone shows off Betsy Brandt’s significant range. Marie Schrader added loads of much needed comic relief, but also afforded Brandt the opportunity to excel during some of the show’s darker beats, even making the most of a single reaction shot in the Emmy winning episode, “Ozymandias.” Want even more proof that Brandt can do just about anything? Give her filmography a quick glance beyo...

Marsha Stephanie Blake has accomplished quite a bit over the years. She’s got a significant number of stage productions to her name, she’s worked with an incredible line-up of directors including Ava DuVernay and Steven Soderbergh, and she also scored an Emmy nomination for her performance in Now They See Us. Even with all of those accomplishments and all of that experience under her belt, was she...

When you look at what Victoria Pedretti managed to accomplish in just three years, hopes for what she’ll achieve in the years to come are through the roof.

On top of that, she starred opposite Dylan O’Brien i...

If you’re not familiar with T’Nia Miller just yet, you're in luck! Not only is she phenomenal in The Haunting of Bly Manor which just dropped on Netflix, but she’s also got loads of other must-see titles on her resume including Sex Education, Years and Years, and more.

Katherine Langford has already accomplished quite a bit since 13 Reasons Why arrived on Netflix in 2017, making her a household name and earning her a Golden Globe nomination. She starred in one of my personal favorites of 2018, Love, Simon, Rian Johnson’s smash hit, Knives Out, and also just headlined the new Netflix series Cursed. Now she adds yet another wildly impressive title to her resume wi...

Geraldine Viswanathan broke out big time with Blockers in 2018 and even though that was her very first major Hollywood production, her talent was already undeniable. Cut to 2020 and the release of her newest feature, The Broken Hearts Gallery. Again, it was already abundantly clear that Viswanathan was mighty talented, but Broken Hearts Gallery shows off next-level comedic sensibilities, confidenc...

If you’re looking for a mood booster right now, we’ve got “sunshine personified” right here for you - Gabourey Sidibe.

Rachael Leigh Cook was one of my absolute favorites growing up. The Baby-Sitters Club, All I Wanna Do and She’s All That were basically on repeat in my house. As thrilled as I was to get to revisit memories from those productions during this edition of Collider Ladies Nights, one of the greatest joys of this conversation with Cook for her new Netflix release, Love, Guaranteed, was hearing about wh...

Mary Mouser has built up quite the resume over the years, but there’s no denying that Cobra Kai is a special one. Not only is the show a phenomenal continuation of the classic Karate Kid film, but it’s also a series that’s amassed quite the fanbase over the course of its two-season run on YouTube. The Cobra Kai fandom is a mighty passionate group and I’ve got a very good feeling that fandom is goi...

It’s time to get to know The Stranger director, Veena Sud! While on an episode of Collider Ladies Night, Sud went into detail on crafting a story for the Quibi platform, using the Turnstyle technology and developing an antagonist who’s an especially smart and troubled psychopath with Dane DeHaan. In the series, DeHaan plays Carl E., a guy who becomes obsessed with playing god in a sense by using a...

It’s Lovecraft Country premiere day! I’m quite psyched for this especially powerful and bold show to get out into the world, but the show’s big debut is also the perfect reason to shine a light on the incredible Wunmi Mosaku.

Emmy Raver-Lampman is excellent in Umbrella Academy Season 1, but just wait until you see how much she excels in Season 2. In all honesty, I was floored when I saw Allison’s storyline in Season 2 and how Raver-Lampman makes the absolute most of it. But, when I got the chance to speak to her for Collider Ladies Night and got a clearer sense of her journey from Marymount Manhattan College to Netflix...

I hope you’re ready for another tour de force performance from Yvonne Strahovski because that’s exactly what she delivers in Stateless which is now available to watch on Netflix. In this edition of Collider Ladies Night, Strahovski looks back on her journey to Hollywood, beginning with her penchant for spoofing commercials as a kid. After making the move to the US, Strahovski would go on to work o...

Between her performance in Relic and everything she’s accomplished over the course of her career, it’s tough to imagine Emily Mortimer having been an extremely shy kid who feared being called on in class. Over the years, Mortimer has worked with some of the best of the best in the business like Martin Scorsese and Wes Craven, she wrote and starred in her own show with good friend Dolly Wells, and...
