Sony’s 3000 Pictures label is reportedly putting together a new Single White Female film – Jenna Ortega and Taylor Russell will star.

While the title might get an update, 1992’s Single White Female is reportedly getting the remake treatment at Sony’s 3000 Pictures Label. According to The InSneider, the psychological thriller has been plucked from the vaults and is being redeveloped as a project for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice's Jenna Ortega and Bones And All's Taylor Russell.

The original film hails from 1992, one of Hollywood’s greatest decades for thrillers. Directed by Barbet Schroeder, the film starred Bridget Fonda as a New York software designer who puts out an ad for a female roommate. After accepting a young woman played by Jennifer Jason Leigh, things start to go sideways when her new acquaintance begins to exhibit some rather disturbing behaviour.

The film was a commercial success at the time, earning $84.1 million from a $16 million budget.

After the erotic drama Baby Girl, Nicole Kidman continues her divisive streak with a certified Rotten thriller. Kidman began acting in the 1980s with Australian films like the action-comedy BMX Bandits and the critically acclaimed Dead Calm before achieving international stardom. Her Hollywood breakthrough came in 1990 when she starred opposite Tom Cruise in the NASCAR love-story Days of Thunder, spawning a variety of leading performances from Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut to the black comedy To Die For.

In the early 2000s, Nicole Kidman's performances continued with back-to-back Oscar-nominated roles from Moulin Rouge! to The Hours, the latter scoring the actor her first Best Actress win with her portrayal of Virginia Woolf. In 2017, she delivered her first Emmy-winning performance in HBO’s drama series Big Little Lies. A few years later, she received another Oscar nomination for her performance asLucille Ball in Being the Ricardos. Kidman's career spans over three decades,...

Plot: A teacher (Nicole Kidman) in Holland, Michigan finds her picture-perfect life shattered when she discovers that her seemingly mild-mannered optometrist husband (Matthew Macfadyen) has a secret.

Review: Holland has to rank as my biggest disappointment of the movies I’ve seen this year at SXSW. I was a huge fan of director Mimi Cave’s last film, Fresh, which was a delicious (pun-intended) cannibalism thriller that, sadly, had the misfortune of coming out right in the middle of the pandemic, meaning it had a rather unceremonious release on Hulu. I was disappointed to learn that Amazon/ MGM would also be releasing her follow-up, Holland, on streaming rather than in theatres. Having seen the finished film, I can see why, with it the kind of embarrassing dud that, hopefully, gets buried so all involved can move on to better things.

I’m not sure what exactly went wrong with Holland,...

As Nicole Kidman continues her mission to champion female directors, her latest role in writer-director Mimi Cave’s Holland is proof positive of that very talent.

The Midwestern mystery stars the Oscar-winning actress as Nancy Vandergroot, a home economics teacher who feels so perfectly safe with her husband Fred (Matthew Macfadyen) and their son Harry (Jude Hill) in the picturesque Dutch-themed town of Holland, Michigan, that she idly wonders if it’s even real. But a missing pearl earring sends her down a conspiracy rabbit hole, which is only made deeper by her shop-teacher co-worker Dave Delgado (Gael García Bernal), who has eyes for her, humoring her every whim.

Set in the aughts, the film is stacked with references to Blockbuster, Juggalos and Nokia cell phones, as well as a microfiche murder mystery montage. The familiar atmosphere of a time not so far removed also evokes the false safety of...

Serving the entertainment industry for decades, Nicole Kidman has not only earned the title of a talented actress and an elite member of Hollywood but has also managed to secure a place as a producer.

Now, obviously, with big titles and responsibilities, Kidman has been top-tier famous for decades, helping her command a ginormous salary for her role in the industry.

While her titular appearance in projects is expected to earn her an eye-watering sum, it’s Nicole Kidman’s minor roles in movies like Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom that sparked our curiosity. So, how much do you think she bagged from reprising her role in the DC sequel? Well, let’s check it out.

How much did Nicole Kidman earn from Aquaman 2?

With a career spanning multiple genres, blockbuster hits, and critically acclaimed performances, Nicole Kidman has been a Hollywood staple for decades.

Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise weren’t just a Hollywood power couple—they were the couple of the ‘90s. Big stars, big movies, and a whirlwind romance that played out on and off screen. But while their chemistry was undeniable, Kidman later admitted that working alongside Cruise wasn’t always the best move for her career.

Take Days of Thunder, the movie that brought them together. Sure, it was a hit, but for Kidman? Not exactly a dream role. She straight-up called her character “one-dimensional.” While Cruise got to speed around in race cars, Kidman’s job was mostly standing there, looking concerned.

And that wasn’t the only time she questioned working with her superstar husband. After starring in multiple films together, she realized she might’ve blended into the background a little too much. But once their marriage ended?...

Where are all the Reacher fans? Its spinoff, which was given a series order back in October 2024 by Prime Video, has finally revealed its official title. Oh, but that's not all. There's even more exciting news. New casting additions have been announced! Keep reading for all the juicy details.

When the Reacher spinoff series was announced last year, it was confirmed that the show would focus on fan-favorite character Frances Neagley, Reacher's trusted confidante and long-time colleague. Danish actress Maria Sten was also announced to reprise the role.

Additionally, Nick Santora, the executive producer and showrunner of Reacher, teamed up with Nicholas Wootton to develop the series. The pair had previously worked together on the crime drama Prison Break. Executive producers on the spinoff include Santora, Wootton, Lee Child, Don Granger, Sam Hill, Adam Higgs, Lisa Kussner, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Matt Thunell.

At the time of the spinoff's announcement,...

Nicole Kidman is trading in the glass of milk for fields of multi-colored tulip and picturesque windmills. The Oscar-winning actress stars in the upcoming thriller film Holland from Fresh director Mimi Cave, streaming exclusively on Prime Video this March.

Fresh was a big hit for Hulu when it debuted in 2022. Starring Sebastian Stan and Daisy Edgar-Jones, Fresh starts out as a traditional romantic comedy and then slowly transforms into something far more sinister as it is revealed that the male lead is a cannibal. Cave received praise for her direction and many of us have been eager to see what she does next.

Holland is described as a "wildly unpredictable thriller" and the newly released trailer teases that nothing in this movie will be as expected. It centers on Kidman's character, a picture-perfect homemaker named Nancy Vandergroot. The Vandergroot family are beloved by their quaint and lovely town of Holland,...

“You aren’t really anybody in America if you’re not on TV.”

Don’t we all want to be famous? Whether we dream of becoming a leading expert in our particular field or the latest contestant on reality TV, deep down, don’t we all want to be known and respected by the entire world? But however fleeting or deep-seated this desire, the quest for fame always comes at a price. When we become consumed by the opinions of others, it’s difficult to hold onto our own humanity. Gus Van Sant explores this destructive path in his 1995 film To Die For. Based on the true story of an aspiring TV personality turned murderess, Suzanne Stone (Nicole Kidman) becomes a cautionary tale for ambitious women obsessed with fame at any cost.

By outward appearances, Suzanne has it all. This blonde bombshell has a dreamy new husband named Larry (Matt Dillon), a modern condo,...

Drink you milk little kittens, Harris Dickinson has stepped into the Criterion Closet.

Hot off his sexy turn in Halina Reijn’s erotic thriller “Babygirl,” Dickinson still wasn’t able to get co-star Nicole Kidman off his mind as he selected a few Blu-rays to take home. In taking Gus Van Sant’s 1995 satire “To Die For” off the shelf, Dickinson was reminded of a scene that may draw certain parallels to his “Father Figure” moment in “Babygirl.”

“My favorite scene in this is when she’s videoing Joaquin and the other actors, and she’s saying, ‘Move your hips. Now let’s dance. Oh yeah. Come on, guys.’ And she’s trying to get them to move,” Dickinson said of Kidman’s work in the film. “And Joaquin Phoenix’s character is just, like, doing this crazy, like, out-of-time jive. But yeah, Nicole’s incredible in this. I love this film.

It has been twenty-four years and people are still talking about Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise’s messy divorce. They were the ‘it couple’ of the ‘90s, getting married six months after they met on the sets of Cruise’s racing film Days of Thunder. After starring in the controversial Eyes Wide Shut, the couple divorced in 2001.

The divorce came as a shock to fans and provided fodder for the media, who intensely scrutinized the proceeding. From Cruise’s Scientology connections to infidelity, various theories were speculated by fans, despite the couple not giving any reason. Talking about the media’s reaction to the divorce, Kidman spoke about one regret she had at the time.

Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise were one of the most admired couples in the ‘90s.

Years ago, Gus Van Sant’s “To Die For” cast Nicole Kidman as a young woman, who craved fame and validation. It showed her character being desired for her conventionally admirable female attributes like gentility and innocence. While this satire criticized conventions with a tongue-in-cheek approach, “Babygirl” (2024) defies them with its clever script. It shows Kidman as a powerful CEO amid an affair with her young, male intern. The script explores desire from Kidman’s character’s perspective by examining her personal and professional lives.

Although it centers around their secretive sexual relationship, it isn’t merely about the act itself but what it means to her in the context of pleasure and authenticity. Dutch actress Halina Reijn has written and directed this film, which also stars Harris Dickinson, Antonio Banderas, and Sophie Wilde. Find the ending and themes explained here.

From getting backlash for her TikTok fame to criticism surrounding her Netflix film He’s All That, she has been through a lot of public scrutiny. In the interview, she candidly addressed the effects of fan reaction that impacted her following the film’s release.

Once a TikTok star, dancing and lip-syncing her way to fame to redefining herself with her newfound love for music and acting, this celebrity has come a long way.

When Rolling Stone hopped in Addison Rae’s black Range Rover for her cover story interview, the influencer-turned-pop star still had her VIP pass from Charli Xcx’s Brat release party in the door. It proved that, though it was early December, Brat summer still wasn’t over.

During our 48 hours with Rae in Los Angeles, Charli Xcx came up frequently, from their duet on the “Von Dutch” remix to Charli’s now-iconic Boiler Room party in Brooklyn (Rae sang her and Charli’s song “2 Die 4,” marking her...

A few years ago, when Addison Rae walked into a meeting with Columbia Records CEO Ron Perry, the TikTok sensation didn’t have any songs to play. And yet, she ended up with a record deal all the same. “I just mood-boarded my vibes,” Rae told Rolling Stone in her February 2025 cover story. “I literally had no music to play him at that point, so it was about trust. Like, ‘Yes, I’m in the clouds, and I enjoy being there. But I’m also serious.’”

Around the same time,...

The comedy improv game show Whose Line is it Anyway? became a big hit in the States in the late 90s. So much so that ABC was confident enough to put up against the sitcom juggernaut Friends at one point. The show continued on with a revival on The CW, but some audiences may remember its origin in the UK that was shown on Channel 4, which also played on Comedy Central before it was remade on this side of the pond. One of the standout comedians in the UK version was British comedian Tony Slattery. Deadline is now reporting that Slattery has died at the age of 65 due to a heart attack.

His passing would be confirmed by his family to the BBC. His partner, Mark Michael Hutchinson, would release a statement that reads, “It is with great sadness we must announce actor and comedian Tony Slattery, aged 65, has passed away today,...

Tony Slattery, the comedian and actor best known for his improvisations on hit comedy show Whose Line Is It Anyway?, died today following a heart attack two days ago. He was 65.

Slattery’s family confirmed his death to the BBC. A statement on behalf of his partner Mark Michael Hutchinson said: “It is with great sadness we must announce actor and comedian Tony Slattery, aged 65, has passed away today, Tuesday morning, following a heart attack on Sunday evening.”

Slattery was perhaps best known as regular on Whose Line Is It Anyway?, the Channel 4 improv show that he appeared on for its first seven seasons. Hosted by Clive Anderson, the show ran for well over 100 episodes and was remade in the U.S. on ABC then The CW.

Slattery also appeared in movies like The Crying Game, Peter’s Friends and How to Get Ahead in Advertising.

One of Nicole Kidman's most recent projects, Netflix's A Family Affair, released in June, sees the 57-year-old actress play the role of Brooke Harwood, a writer who starts dating her daughter's celebrity boss. The flick, which also features Zac Efron and Joey King, explores family dynamics while treating viewers with less scandalous scenes between Kidman and Efron.

A CEO (Kidman), who has never experienced sexual pleasure during her marriage, develops an affair with a significantly younger intern (Harris Dickinson) in the erotic thriller Babygirl.

Although the costars had to record intimate scenes for the project, Dickinson spoke highly of Kidman as he called her "the most comforting, warm performer to work across from."

"She sets the tone on set, and she...

Frigid take: Nicole Kidman is one of the most gifted and flat-out watchable movie stars working today. Now in the 41st year of her film acting career, she has been nominated for five Oscars (with a Best Actress win for "The Hours"), and a staggering 15 Screen Actors Awards (with one win in 2017 for "Big Little Lies"). She feels perfectly at home in any genre, and, at 57 years old, is more prolific than ever thanks to her gleeful embrace of television films and miniseries. Kidman loves to work as much as we love watching her work!

For evidence of her versatility, you can zoom in on pretty much any four-year chunk of her career and be wowed. Take 1995 - 1999 for instance: she went from Caped Crusader love interest in "Batman Forever" to Femme Fatale weather woman in "To Die For" to doomed seeker in the costume drama "The Portrait of a Lady...

Nearly a decade since he passed, the iconic actor (who had some other trades) is celebrated with The Man Who Fell to Earth, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, The Linguini Incident, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, and Basquiat. (Note: watch The Missing Pieces under Fire Walk with Me‘s Criterion edition for about three times as much Phillip Jeffries.)

It was 1989 when Nicole Kidman first met Tom Cruise on a beach in Florida when her career started to take off. She was promoting her movie Dead Calm when she caught the attention of screenwriter Robert Towne.

It was Towne who first showed her film to Cruise. And both he and Tom Cruise were so impressed by her performance, and rightfully so, that they went on to recruit her as the leading lady opposite the Top Gun star in Days of Thunder.

This began a whirlwind romance between the co-stars, and they married each other a year later in 1990, a few months after Cruise’s divorce was finalized with his first wife Mimi Rogers. However, it was during this time that Nicole Kidman almost made the worst mistake of her life, which would continue to haunt her for the rest of her life.

Nicole...

Nicole Kidman has revealed that she was nervous to accept one of her most important roles. Kidman is a celebrated actor who first got her start in Australian projects including the cult movie BMX Bandits and the maritime thriller Dead Calm. She began to rise to fame in the 1990s, taking on projects such as Far And Away, Batman Forever, and To Die For. Over the course of her career, she has now earned five Oscar nominations with one win, 17 Golden Globe nominations with six wins, three Emmy nominations with two wins, and five BAFTA nominations with one win.

More contemporary Nicole Kidman movies have seen her taking on a variety of unique roles, including playing a villain in Paddington, having Zac Efron as a love interest in both The Paperboy and A Family Affair, joining a massive superhero franchise as Queen Atlanna in Aquaman and its sequel, and more.

Nicole Kidman could make Golden Globes history come nominations morning, Dec. 9. If she gets in for both the A24 film “Babygirl” and the Netflix miniseries “The Perfect Couple,” that would put her at 21 career citations and set the record for having the second-most noms for an actor. This would tie her with Jack Lemmon who’s also at 21, and put her behind Meryl Streep with the record of 33.

As it stands, Kidman is sitting on an impressive 19 total Golden Globe nominations, a number shared with Shirley MacLaine and Al Pacino. Below are all of the projects and categories Kidman has been recognized for at the Golden Globes. The six in gold are her wins.

Pop music has been full of surprising success stories this year, but none have been more surprising than Addison Rae emerging as a cult icon, despite only having a few singles under her belt.

The Og TikTok dance star kicked off her pop career in 2021 with no major label backing her. Though her debut single “Obsessed” is catchy, fun and bubbly, her music career was met with reluctance by millions of people who weren’t really interested in seeing any of TikTok’s most infamous personalities make it off the platform.

Nicole Kidman, who is taking on the bold role of Romy in the upcoming erotic thriller, Babygirl, has been candid about the motivation behind her decision to take on the film. The Oscar-winning actress is no stranger to romance movies or performing explicit scenes in her movies.

However, she recently opened up about how her role in her new film stands out from her past experiences, highlighting that the new erotic thriller is much more empowering in its portrayal of female pleasure.

Nicole Kidman Opens Up About Embracing Empowerment in Babygirl Role

Nicole Kidman has long been recognized for her versatility as an actress, delivering a wide range of performances over the years.

The film has constantly been in conversation due to its daring, erotic sequences, but Kidman recently emphasized that the movie is much more than just bold or provocative moments.

Few actresses of her era take as many chances as Nicole Kidman. The Oscar- and Emmy Award-winning actress has been one of the industry’s most sought-after performers since the early 1990s, and appeared in everything from splashy musicals like “Moulin Rouge!” (which netted Kidman her first of five Academy Award nominations) to historical fiction like “The Hours” (which won Kidman the Best Actress Oscar for playing Virginia Woolfe) to psychological thrillers like “Eyes Wide Shut” (where she starred opposite her now-ex-husband Tom Cruise) to blockbuster superhero movies like “Aquaman.”

And that’s just on the big screen. In recent years, Kidman has acquitted herself exceedingly well in a spate of prestige television series, winning an Emmy for her nuanced work in “Big Little Lies” and scoring a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for “The Undoing.”

One of her biggest challenges was her turn as Lucille Ball in Aaron Sorkin’s 2021 film “Being the Ricardos.

Nicole Kidman has said that she wants to work with Martin Scorsese "if he does a film with women," indicating the requirements for working with the director. Kidman is an esteemed actor, holding four Oscar nominations and one win, with a total of 110 awards won and 331 nominations since her career began in 1983. Similarly decorated, Scorsese's best movies include classics like Goodfellas and Casino, alongside some of his newer movies, like The Irishman and Killers of the Flower Moon. Both have important places in film history because of their creative contributions.

However, speaking with Vanity Fair, Kidman listed Scosese as one of the people in Hollywood who she hasn't collaborated with, but that she would like to work with. However, she specified that she would want to work with him "if he does a film with women," indicative of how most of his movies include male leads and a focus on male characters overall.

Joaquin Phoenix celebrated his first Oscar win for the violent Todd Phillips movie “Joker,” which earned him his fourth Academy Award nomination.

Phoenix has been no stranger to awards circles throughout his career. He has been nominated for three other Academy Awards, five Golden Globe Awards (including a win for 2005’s “Walk the Line” and “Joker”) and five Screen Actors Guild Awards (including a victory for “Joker”).

Tour our photo gallery above featuring the 15 greatest film performances, ranked from worst to best. Our list includes the movies mentioned above, plus “Her,” “Inherent Vice,” “To Die For,” “Napoleon,” “Beau Is Afraid” and more.

Throughout her extensive career in Hollywood, Nicole Kidman has portrayed a range of characters, from showing off her comedic and dramatic talents in To Die For to her powerful, emotional performance in The Hours, and her daring, provocative side in films like Eyes Wide Shut and The Paperboy.

Joaquin Phoenix, a master of transformation, has captured accolades for his unforgettable performances in films like Gladiator and Joker. Known for his intense dedication to his credit, the actor has always fully immersed himself in complex characters, earning him an Academy Award. He is no stranger to accolades like Golden Globes and Oscars and has been rewarded for his emotional performances.

Born as Joaquin Rafael Bottom, the actor has a net worth of $80 million per Celebrity Net Worth. The actor’s acting career began at a young age, and he earned his breakthrough in To Die For.

Actresses Salma Hayek and Nicole Kidman recently made headlines after a video implying an altercation between the two went viral. Captured at the Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week, the two starlets seemed to have a heated exchange of words while posing for the photographers, and speculations have been rife about the topic.

However, a source close to Kidman reportedly said that there was no beef between the two starlets and that the Eyes Wide Shut star was still dealing with the death of her mother. Kidman had to abruptly leave the Venice International Film Festival, where she won Best Actress, as she received news of her mother’s passing.

Thanks to its premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, Babygirl made waves ahead of its theatrical release and it helps that it boasts an all-star cast. Directed by Halina Reijn (Bodies Bodies Bodies), the Nicole Kidman-led erotic thriller centers on Romy, a high-powered CEO who finds herself entangled in a high-stakes affair with her much younger intern, Samuel (Harris Dickinson). Although Romy is mostly satisfied with her long-time marriage to Jacob (Antonio Banderas), something is missing when it comes to desire and sex. Hailed as one of the best erotic thrillers in years, Babygirl explores complex power dynamics.

Not only does the film feature an age-gap romance, but Babygirl plays with the characters' positions of power. While Kidman's Romy is in charge in the workplace, the ever-confident Samuel takes control elsewhere. The character-driven narrative easily makes Babygirl one of Nicole Kidman's best movies, though it also leaves ample room for Dickinson,...

Casey Affleck, the talented actor and director, has built a strong reputation for his work in Hollywood. However, despite an impressive portfolio, Casey is outshone on multiple fronts by his brother, Ben Affleck.

That also translates to a huge gap in their respective net worths. While both brothers have enjoyed long and successful careers, Ben’s financial achievements, along with his massive paydays from blockbuster hits, outshine Casey’s comparatively modest earnings. Let’s dive deeper into Casey Affleck’s net worth, his career highlights, and how it compares to his famous brother.

Casey Affleck’s Career and Early Life Casey Affleck. | Casey Affleck, Instagram

Born Caleb Casey McGuire Affleck-Boldt on August 12, 1975, in Falmouth, Massachusetts, Casey grew up alongside his brother Ben in a family that nurtured their creative talents. Their mother, Chris, was friends with a local casting director, who helped the brothers land early roles in film and television.

February 2009. Legendary late-night talk show host David Letterman introduces his next guest: Oscar-nominated actor Joaquin Phoenix. He’s sporting an unkempt beard, dark sunglasses indoors, and behaving like it was his first talk show appearance rather than his hundredth. Even Letterman, who could improv with the best of them, struggles to keep up with Phoenix’s short answers, insisting that he was done with acting so he could focus on becoming a rapper. Turns out, it was an attempt at viral marketing for the upcoming mockumentary, I’m Still Here. Okay, so maybe the interview didn’t tell us much about the movie or drive anyone t to see it, but it did tell us a lot about Joaquin Phoenix, the person and the performer, his deep commitment to his art form, and his obsession with authenticity that brought him through a difficult upbringing and into a wildly successful acting career.

Joaquin Phoenix is all set to return to his legendary role as Arthur Fleck in Todd Philips’ Joker: Folie a Deux. The actor played the DC Comics character in 2019’s Joker and won the Oscar for Best Actor. Since then, Phoenix has worked on a few indies such as C’mon C’mon, and Beau is Afraid and headlined Ridley Scott’s Napolean.

Joaquin Phoenix made his professional acting debut in the 1985 TV movie "Kids Don't Tell," a heady primetime drama about child victims of sexual assault. Phoenix was only 11 at the time. The following year, Phoenix first appeared in theaters in the kid-friendly drama "SpaceCamp," about teenagers and children who are accidentally launched into space. Phoenix continued to land high-profile roles with interesting directors, appearing in Ron Howard's "Parenthood" in 1989 and Gun Van Sant's "To Die For" in 1995. Phoenix soon became an indie darling, and a go-to actor for extreme, quirky, sometimes dark roles. He played a kooky thug in Oliver Stone's "U Turn," and a wise pornographer in Joel Schumacher's "8mm."

By the time he appeared in Ridley Scott's "Gladiator" in 2000, Phoenix was a household name. The role earned him the first of four (to date) Academy Award nominations. He would also be nominated for playing Johnny Cash...

Filmmaker Halina Reijn’s sex-positive erotic thriller Babygirl, starring Nicole Kidman in a characteristically bold performance, may have just changed the, errr…mood…at the Venice Film Festival.

Babygirl‘s first press screenings in Italy received rapturous applause Friday morning, and the movie’s many sexual moments and thematically subtle message could be overheard sparking animated discussions among festivalgoers up and down the Lido. The awards chatter around Kidman’s performance has officially begun, and the commercial winning streak for A24, which produced the film and is releasing it in the U.S. on Dec. 25, appears fully secure.

Without revealing spoilers, the playful and propulsive film’s real themes are power dynamics, female gratification...

Addison Rae has reignited her pop career with “Diet Pepsi,” her first solo release since last year. It also marks Rae’s first official release on Columbia Records.

The dreamy new song has Rae channeling Born to Die-era Lana Del Rey. It’s a love song full of nostalgic imagery as it explores young love. “When we drive in your car, I’m your baby (So sweet)/Losing all my innocence in the backseat,” she sings on the chorus.

A black-and-white video released alongside the track’s debut and captures Rae riding shotgun,...

Joaquin Phoenix and Casey Affleck are both wonderful actors and have starred and contributed to several noteworthy projects. Having made a mark in the film industry as impeccable performers, the two actors once came together for an infamous project, to make a ‘documentary-esque’ film that turned out to be a ‘mockumentary’.

Joaquin Phoenix [as Arthur Fleck in 2019’s Joker | Warner Bros. Pictures]I’m Still Here, starring Phoenix as the lead and directed by Affleck, grossed over $737K worldwide. The film’s aftermath was so that it could have ended the two actors’ careers for sure.

Gus Van Sant is a fiercely individual voice with one foot in the independent world and another in the studio system, Van Sant’s filmography varies wildly from mainstream entertainments to peculiar experiments, from sublime highs to extreme lows. Let’s take a look at all 17 of his films, ranked worst to best.

Born in 1952 in Louisville, Kentucky, Van Sant kicked off his filmmaking career with the micro-budget, black-and-white “Mala Noche” (1985), a major preamble to the New Queer Cinema. His next feature, “Drugstore Cowboy” (1989), firmly established him as an indie maverick, a reputation he would fulfill with his followup, the River Phoenix/Keanu Reeves road movie “My Own Private Idaho” (1991). He dipped his toes into studio filmmaking with the gleefully dark satire “To Die For” (1995), which won Nicole Kidman a Golden Globe as Best Comedy/Musical Actress.

He hit the Oscar jackpot for the first time with the inspirational drama...
