Daniel Radcliffe takes us behind the scenes of NBC’s The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, revealing how a real house in Purchase, New York was scanned and rebuilt on a Yonkers soundstage—and why you should “never invite a film set into your house.” In this exclusive Daniel Radcliffe interview, the star of The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins shares what it’s like working alongside Tracy Morgan, Bobby Moynihan, and showrunners Robert Carlock and Tina Fey. From Phil Collins blasting before Tracy’s big entrances to spontaneous Halloween celebrations where nearly the entire crew dressed up, Radcliffe describes a set defined by generosity and zero tolerance for ego. He also dives into visiting Tracy Morgan’s famously over-the-top home—complete with exotic fish tanks and unforgettable cast gatherings—plus swapping SNL war stories and joining the camera team’s Friday “camera truck karaoke.” According to Radcliffe, the final days of filming even ended in a full-on dance party. The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins premieres February 23 at 8 p.m. on NBC with two episodes back-to-back, streaming the next day on Peacock. 0:00 Introduction – Daniel Radcliffe on Reggie Dinkins 0:18 Recreating the Purchase, NY House in Studio 0:51 Setting the Tone with Tracy Morgan & the Producers 1:44 Inside Tracy Morgan’s Legendary House 2:31 SNL “War Stories” with Bobby Moynihan & Tracy 4:28 Camera Truck Karaoke & the Final Dance Party 9:28 Premiere Date & Where to Watch Our Social Media: https://www.facebook.com/collider/ www.x.com/Collider Our Website https://www.collider.com Video By Michael Zimmermann & Trent B Minia For copyright matters, please contact us at: legal@valnetinc.com #thefallandriseofreggiedinkins #danielradcliffe #collider

SPOILER ALERT! How do you invent a horror icon without burying the actor in rubber? In this exclusive behind-the-scenes chat, the makeup, hair, and prosthetics team walk us through crafting Amy Madigan’s Aunt Gladys for Zach Cregger’s Weapons—from Diane Arbus/Cindy Sherman influences to that unsettling “nubby” smile. If you’re hunting for Weapons behind the scenes or a practical effects breakdown, this delivers the goods with specificity and zero fluff. Our guests explain why they designed “against the horror stereotype,” letting Madigan’s performance lead while makeup stays in a constant state of beautiful decay. You’ll hear how one off-kilter contact lens, micro-bang red wigs, and subtly elongated earlobes sell the bird-of-prey vibe; how the look shifts across story beats (bedridden and sallow to sharply “present”); and how a two-piece punched bald-cap and continuity system kept the third-act mayhem coherent. Bonus: the clever products they used—including MAC’s Ruby Woo and an aerosol trick to make human-hair wigs read as cheap synthetic. 0:00 Introduction – Building Aunt Gladys for Weapons 0:38 Real-world references: Arbus, Sherman, and Baby Jane 0:11 Designing “the opposite” of cliché horror 2:00 Teeth, earlobes, and the one-eye pupil gag 3:16 Evolving looks: sickbed to principal’s office 6:14 Bald caps, punched hair, and continuity hacks 9:32 Finale gore: engineering a resettable body Our Social Media: https://www.facebook.com/collider/ www.x.com/Collider Our Website https://www.collider.com For copyright matters, please contact us at: legal@valnetinc.com #weapons #amymadigan #collider

Brendan Fraser takes us inside the making of Rental Family, sharing why Japan’s landscapes, culture, and filmmaking community made the project unlike anything he’s experienced before. In this exclusive Brendan Fraser interview, he breaks down the film’s emotional heart and the real-life world of Tokyo’s rental family agencies. In Rental Family, Fraser plays Phillip, a writer tasked with helping an aging actor—played by acclaimed Japanese performer Akira Emoto—preserve his legacy. Fraser explains how filming in Tokyo with a team of Japanese filmmakers shaped the story’s authenticity, from shooting among sakura blossoms to capturing the city’s sense of solitude and connection. He also highlights newcomer Shannon Gorman, who was nine during production, praising her natural instinct and precision as a first-time actor. Fraser discusses director Hikari’s grounded, clear storytelling approach, his own process of learning enough Japanese dialogue to be convincing on screen, and why navigating Shinjuku’s 7-Elevens became a personal adventure. Through it all, he reflects on how the experience offered its own “moment of renewal,” mirroring the themes at the core of Rental Family.

Welcome to Derry: Reimagining Pennywise’s Origins dives into how director Andy Muschietti and his team expanded Stephen King’s universe for Welcome to Derry, the HBO Max prequel series to It. In this exclusive Collider interview, Muschietti reveals how the creative team built tension by withholding Pennywise’s reveal, designing new nightmares for 1960s Derry, and constructing the catastrophic “Black Spot” sequence across multiple real-world locations. Muschietti explains the creative freedom of exploring new storylines not found in King’s book—while still honoring its spirit—and how the show balances practical and digital effects to capture the haunting realism of small-town horror. He also discusses the casting process, from working with rising young actors like Matilda Lawler (Station Eleven) to finding fresh emotional depth in familiar archetypes. For fans of It Chapter One and Chapter Two, this behind-the-scenes look at Welcome to Derry shows how the team crafted both nostalgia and terror, expanding the mythology of Pennywise’s shapeshifting evil while grounding it in history and humanity. 0:00 Introduction – Adapting It for Television 0:39 Building Suspense Without Showing Pennywise 1:08 Designing Fear and 1960s-Inspired Creatures 2:34 Filming the Black Spot Fire Sequence 3:31 Recreating Derry in Port Hope 4:32 Collaborating with Stephen King 5:48 Casting the Next Generation of Losers Our Social Media: https://www.facebook.com/collider/ www.x.com/Collider Our Website https://www.collider.com For copyright matters, please contact us at: legal@valnetinc.com #welcometoderry #pennywise #collider

Shooting Sinners on IMAX film created stunning visuals—but it also introduced one of the biggest sound challenges the team had ever faced. In this Collider behind-the-scenes interview, Chris Welcker, production sound mixer, and Michael P. Shawver, editor, break down how they captured usable dialogue, music, and performances despite working with IMAX cameras that generate constant mechanical noise. Their solution wasn’t relying on ADR, but developing a workflow that preserved performances from the very start of production. Drawing on experience from previous IMAX shoots, the team recorded sound-only passes, collaborated closely with on-set editorial, and worked hand-in-hand with post-production to ensure nearly all the dialogue recorded on set could be used in the final cut. They also detail how complex twin scenes featuring Michael B. Jordan were carefully timed using body doubles, dialogue playback, and precise audio cues to help coordinate performances and physical interactions. Each scene was planned alongside VFX to determine the best approach, whether that meant locked camera moves, split screens, or face replacements. The conversation wraps with a look at capturing live guitar performances, cicadas bleeding into interior locations, and why embracing real-world sound helped make Sinners feel immersive and authentic. 0:00 Introduction – Going Behind the Scenes of Sinners 0:18 The IMAX Camera Sound Problem on Set 1:29 Borrowing a Workflow from Oppenheimer 2:19 Making Dialogue Usable with Noisy Film Cameras 3:21 How Michael B.

Keri Russell gets real about The Diplomat Season 3 — from freezing pool dives to fighting Rufus Sewell in the bushes. This is the chaos behind the calm. Behind the crisp diplomacy of Netflix’s The Diplomat, Keri Russell reveals the hilarious, exhausting, and utterly human side of bringing Kate Wyler to life. From marathon dinner scenes filmed over multiple days to an icy pool jump in the middle of winter, Russell opens up about what it really takes to play one of TV’s most tightly wound characters. Collider goes behind the scenes with Russell as she reflects on working alongside Rufus Sewell (“he’s totally game”), tackling dense political dialogue, and why Kate’s uniform-like black suit mirrors her own minimalist style. Filmed across London, New York, and Scotland, Season 3 pushed the cast to new emotional and physical limits — but also delivered plenty of laughter between takes.
