Kevin Spacey has not taken on a single role since 2017 due to his s*xual assault allegations, but this was not the case back in the day. The New Jersey-born actor was killing it in the 90s with action-packed roles like John Doe in David Fincher’s movie Se7en (1995), Kevin “Verbal” Kint in The Usual Suspects (1995) a movie by Bryan Singer, and Lester Burnham in American Beauty a film by Sam Mendes, to name just a few.

The actor has an amazing filmography and has bagged two Oscars as well. He is someone whose name in the cast would fill up theaters. However, even a great actor like Spacey can mess up in selecting his next role and miss out on movies that go on to become hits. This often happens in Hollywood—actors rejecting scripts or, at times, being rejected by casting crews or directors.

Exclusive: Weeks after signing on to lead Reminders of Him, Universal’s adaptation of the novel from It Ends with Us scribe Colleen Hoover, Maika Monroe has found another new project in Place to Be, the latest indie drama from Hungarian filmmaker Kornél Mundruczó (Pieces of a Woman).

The following contains spoilers for Holland, premiering March 27, 2025 on Prime Video.

Mimi Cave's Prime Video film Holland refers not to the Netherlands -- but Holland, Michigan, where Dutch-Americans dutifully attend their tulips and every citizen owns a pair of klompen for special occasions. Nicole Kidman's character Nancy Vandergroot teaches home economics, or "Life Management," where she educates malleable youths in the art of how to make Dutch baby pancakes. The film's iteration of Holland isn't a place where people need to manage anything, but rather learn the traditions that will make it easiest to go with the general flow of the town and its people.

The stick in the mud is Nancy, who -- upon losing an earring and summarily firing a babysitter -- rouses from her passivity with a hellbent verve. Suddenly she's alert, paranoid, and begins to look for trouble where, ostensibly, there is none. As...

Maika Monroe, best known for critically lauded portrayals in horror and thrillers, will take a stab at romance. Monroe is set to lead Universal Pictures of Colleen Hoover's best-selling novel, Reminders of Him.

During a recent interview, while promoting his short film Out for Delivery, Starr told Collider that filming for the new iteration of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle had wrapped, noting that shooting had occurred in December and January.

Happy Death Day and Freakydirector Christopher Landon pushes another familiar genre premise to satisfyingly absurd heights in his latest film, Drop. Co-stars Meghann Fahy and Brandon Sklenar are game for the delightfully bonkers thriller, which turns the horrifying experience of dating as a woman into a literal fight for survival.

Following the death of her abusive husband, Violet (Fahy) has become a successful therapist who treats victims of domestic violence. Given her traumatic past and the demands of raising a cartoonishly adorable kid, Violet (understandably) hasn’t been on a date in years. After exchanging DMs with a nice photographer named Henry (Sklenar) for a few months, Violet agrees to a first date at a bougie restaurant atop a massive high-rise with killer views.

Within minutes of arriving, their date is already on thin ice: Henry is running late, Violet is worried about her kid, and their server (Jeffrey Self...

It's been over 30 years, but audiences are finally about to get a remake of the 1992 thriller classic The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. Starring Annabella Sciorra, Rebecca De Mornay, Matt McCoy, Ernie Hudson, and Julianne Moore, the Hollywood Pictures production became a surprising hit with a $140 million box office haul as viewers came out in droves to see the chilling tale of a mother slowly infiltrating the family of her husband's accuser. As of last year, Longlegs star Maika Monroe is now set to take on the lead role at 20th Century Studios to recreate the magic and, according to her co-star Martin Starr, viewers are in for a real treat. In an interview for his short film Out for Delivery, he teased the upcoming thriller to Collider's Steve Weintraub at our SXSW Media Studio at the Cinema Center, revealing that filming had recently wrapped.

Longlegs star Maika Monroe's 2022 thriller is climbing up the Netflix charts. Watcher features Monroe as Julia as she navigates her new life in a foreign land. The film, directed by Chloe Okuno (Let the Right One In TV series) from a script by Okuno and Zack Ford, currently sits at number three on the Netflix chart in the United States.

The film follows Julia and her husband Francis (Karl Glusman), as they move back to his homeland of Bucharest, Romania in Eastern Europe, thanks to a job promotion. She is often left alone as Francis is constantly working, and before long, Julia believes a man living in the building across the street, played by Burn Gorman (The Dark Knight Rises), might be watching and stalking her.

Anthony Mackie became one of Hollywood’s hottest stars with his lead role as Captain America in Captain America: Brave New World, which premiered on Feb 14. But Mackie has been part of the Marvel Universe since 2014, when he took on the role of Falcon (Sam Wilson) in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Although Steve Rogers gave him the shield already in Avengers: Endgame (2019), Mackie’s character, Sam Wilson, was unsure about taking on the role. After John Walker briefly became Captain America, Sam ultimately decided to embrace the title by the end of the Disney+ series.

In his 23-year screen career, Mackie has played diverse characters. He portrayed Harry Mitchell, a junior adjustment agent in The Adjustment Bureau (which earned him two award nominations), and Sergeant J.T. Sanborn in The Hurt Locker, for which he won in the “Best Ensemble Cast” category and was nominated as “Best Supporting Actor” at the Independent Spirit Awards.

2024 was a pretty good year for vampire films, what with the release of hits such as Abigail, Salem’s Lot, and the upcoming Nosferatu. It seems the fun will continue into 2025 thanks to Neon, who has just picked up the Dracula-inspired movie Brides, which stars a familiar face we’ve come to know and love in the horror genre: Maika Monroe.

Per Deadline, Monroe is set to lead Brides, which is said to be loosely inspired by Bram Stoker’s seminal 1887 novel. Written and directed by Chloe Okuno, filming is expected to get underway in March, and will be the second pairing of the two following Okuno’s vastly underrated 2022 psychological thriller, Watcher, which also featured Monroe in the lead. Based on the synopsis alone, this one sounds like it’s going to be a lot of fun when it hits theaters, as it flips Stoker’s narrative on its...

Longlegs star Maika Monroe is set to star in Brides, an upcoming vampire horror from Watcher director Chloe Okuno.

As we prepare to flip the calendar over to another year, Osgood Perkins’ Longlegs stands out as one of the biggest successes of 2024, with the horror film not only earning a substantial take at the global box office, but also picking up plenty of critical buzz along the way. Naturally, that makes the film’s star, Maika Monroe, an in-demand actor, and while Monroe already has several interesting projects in various states of production, she has just added another horror film: Brides.

Brides is backed by Neon, the same distributor behind Longlegs. The project will see Monroe reunite with Chloe Okuno, the director of 2022’s Watcher, in which Monroe played a married woman who starts to think her Bucharest neighbour is a serial killer.

It didn’t make too much of...

Neon is ready to work with Longlegs star Maika Monroe again. The distributor behind some of 2024's most acclaimed horror movies, like the aforementioned serial killer thriller, Immaculate, and Cuckoo, has acquired the North American rights to the upcoming horror film Brides, per The Hollywood Reporter.

Monroe will star in the movie, directed by Chloe Okuno, with whom Monroe previously worked for the film Watcher. In addition to Longlegs and Brides, Neon is co-producing and distributing They Follow, the sequel to the David Robert Mitchell-directed film It Follows that Monroe also starred in.

Pre-production for Brides is already underway, with filming starting in March 2025. Monroe will be plenty busy between this film and They Follow, which is also set to shoot next year.

In honor of the acquisition, Neon shared a photo of the script's title page via the X platform (formerly Twitter) earlier today. Fittingly, the word Brides...

Maika Monroe (Longlegs) and director Chloe Okuno (V/H/S/94: Storm Drain, Watcher) will reteam for the upcoming horror movie Brides, and Longlegs distributor Neon has officially announced this morning that they’ve boarded the project. It’s “coming soon.”

Neon has picked up North American rights to the upcoming Brides of Dracula-inspired vampire film. Deadline notes in an exclusive report, “Neon will release the film theatrically.”

Here’s the synopsis: “Set in 1960s Italy, Sally Bishop (Maika Monroe) and her husband travel to a remote villa in the wake of Sally’s nervous breakdown. The villa’s owner, a mysterious count, takes a peculiar interest in Sally. But he gets far more than he anticipated when Sally’s feminist chaos is added to his perfect, violent Eden of vampire brides.”

The early 1990s were a good time for the now-moribund genre of the erotic thriller. Mainstream Hollywood was pushing the limits of what audiences wanted to see in terms of sex and nudity, and multiple movies tapped into that sexual zeitgeist. Films like "Poison Ivy" (with Drew Barrymore) and "The Hand that Rocks the Cradle" (with Rebecca De Mornay) warned that one's babysitters might be there to take over the family with their sexual wiles, while "The Last Seduction," "Jade," "Sliver," and "Color of Night" tinged standard thrillers with a sexual element. Madonna starred in "Body of Evidence," a movie about a woman who accidentally sexed her partner to death. A lot of the genre's popularity was kicked by the assertive sexuality on display in Adrian Lyne's 1987 ultra-hit "Fatal Attraction." 

The biggest hits of the day were probably Lyne's "Indecent Proposal" and Paul Verhoeven's "Basic Instinct," with the former making $266 million,...

Her ultimate goal? To destroy Claire and assume her place within her family.

Longlegs star Maika Monroe finds her next project in her busy horror schedule, this time a twisted take on Bram Stoker's classic vampire tale. Monroe, who made her name known in the cult classic It Follows, continues to find herself enraptured by terrifying tales that flip the genre on its head. Next time she's on the big screen, Monroe will encounter an "Eden of vampire brides" in a new film from FilmNation Entertainment.

Via Deadline, Monroe is set to star in Brides, directed by Chloe Okuno (Watcher). Currently in pre-production, the upcoming vampire flick is produced by Anthony Bregman and Stefanie Azpiazu through Likely Story, who describe the project as gothic, glamorous, and gory." In many ways, it will subvert expectations of Bram Stoker's Dracula by seemingly focusing on the vampiric brides, which come into contact with Monroe's Sally Bishop when she and her husband go on a trip.

Get ready for a thrilling reunion in the world of horror! Scream queen Maika Monroe and talented filmmaker Chloe Okuno are set to team up again for a new horror movie called Brides. With Monroe's captivating performances and Okuno's visionary direction, we're in for a treat!

Brides is Okuno's next movie. She hasn't worked on any films since Watcher. Her most recent work was directing episodes of the TV shows Let the Right One In and Teacup. For Brides, she will be directing from a script she wrote, and Monroe will star. Additionally, Anthony Bregman and Stefanie Azpiazu will produce through their Likely Story film production company.

Per Deadline, it's been reported that Mary Elizabeth Winstead has joined the cast of the Hand That Rocks the Cradle reboot. Winstead will be playing a major character in the movie, set to take on the role originally played in the 1992 film by Annabella Sciorra. In the original movie, Sciorra starred as a woman whose family is infiltrated by a disturbed individual with ulterior motives posing as a nanny. Monroe will be playing the latter character in the remake, taking over the role from Rebecca De Mornay.

Domestic thrillers tend to be formulaic, and The Hand That Rocks the Cradle is no exception, yet it triumphantly stands out among its peers. Though the film reads like a Lifetime cautionary tale about hiring attractive nannies, the execution is anything but that. Curtis Hanson's 1992 thriller introduces us to one of the most compelling antagonists yet, one that is on the path of a slightly misguided vengeance. Rebecca De Mornay is mesmerizing as Mrs. Peyton Mott, who lost her husband and newborn baby in one fell swoop, which ignites a raging thirst for revenge that plays out in a riveting fashion. The film's plot may be predictable, but each beat is infused with dread and tension that keeps our eyes locked on Peyton's unscrupulous deeds. But what's truly disturbing about this domestic power struggle is that some small part of us almost roots for the villain.
