Collider Ladies Night Collider

Michelle Rodriguez aims to work with rebels in this industry, and she’s also a true rebel herself. Over the years, Rodriguez has solidified herself as an undeniable force in Hollywood both on screen and behind the scenes via her determination to fight for herself and for the characters she plays. That right there is the definition of an ideal Collider Ladies Night guest. A personal bucket list guest, in fact.
Rodriguez carved out the time for an appearance on the show in celebration of her newest release, Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. Rodriguez plays Holga Kilgore in the movie, a barbarian who’s been exiled by her tribe and now lives and steals alongside Chris Pine’s Edgin Darvis. In an effort to pull off an epic heist and snag a lost relic, Holga and Edgin form a party of unlikely heroes and embark on a journey filled with creatures, spells, delightful cameos, and an especially chilling Red Wizard (Daisy Head).
Hear all about Rodriguez's journey from Karyn Kusama's Girlfight to Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves on this edition of Collider Ladies Night!

With Scream VI now playing in theaters nationwide, franchise newcomer Liana Liberato joined me for a Collider Ladies Night Pre-Party conversation to recap her journey from aspiring actor to becoming an unforgettable and significant new addition to Scream canon.
The sixth installment finds Tara (Jenna Ortega), Chad (Mason Gooding), and Mindy (Jasmin Savoy Brown) in New York City for college with Sam (Melissa Barrera) tagging along to make sure her sister and friends stay safe. While Chad and Mindy opt for the dorms, Tara and Sam get an off-campus apartment and find a roommate to share it with via the internet. That roommate is Liberato’s Quinn Bailey, the daughter of an NYPD detective (Dermot Mulroney). As one might expect, a new Ghostface killer emerges in The Big Apple putting a target on everyone’s back while also making each and every one of them a potential suspect.
Hear all about Liberato's journey to Scream and get LOADS of Scream 6 spoiler talk in this edition of Collider Ladies Night Pre-Party!

Dominique Fishback has an open invitation to Collider Ladies Night for a number of reasons. First, she’s incredibly talented and has a wild amount of range. Second, she recognizes that range and uses it by loading up her filmography with a wide variety of projects, all with complex characters that demand she flexes her acting muscles to the fullest. On top of all of that? Not only is it abundantly career that Fishback pours maximum heart and thought into her craft, but she always exudes deep passion when discussing it. There’s no better Collider Ladies Night guest than that.
In her latest see-it-to-believe-it production, Fishback stars as Dre in Prime Video’s Swarm. Dre grew up a massive fan of pop culture icon Ni’Jah. Whereas her sister (Chloe Bailey) grew out of the fandom, Dre’s obsession has intensified and now, as an adult, her dedication to Ni’Jah often sends her to extremely dark, dangerous places.
Whether you’re a singer, an actor, or pursuing any other craft in the entertainment industry, with success often comes celebrity, and with celebrity comes extremely passionate fans. Clearly, Ni’Jah has one in Dre in Swarm, and Fishback’s amassed quite a few over the years as well.
Hear all about Fishback's approach to balancing celebrity and acting, how her vision board-making process has changed, how she scored herself a producing credit on Swarm, and loads more on this edition of Collider Ladies Night!

It isn’t easy thriving in two different sectors of the entertainment industry, but Chloe Bailey is absolutely soaring as a singer and actress, right alongside her sister, Halle Bailey. 
In addition to finding great success as Chloe x Halle, the Bailey sisters started carving out some significant space for themselves in film and television via the ABC sitcom Grown-ish. When that show came to an end, both continued to pursue both crafts, racking up a number of impressive acting credits along the way. Halle Bailey, of course, is our new Ariel in the live-action version of The Little Mermaid, and Chloe Bailey’s filmography is packed with bold titles that offer the opportunity to explore complex characters like the Netflix film, Jane, and now the new Prime Video series, Swarm.
From co-creators Janine Nabers and Donald Glover, Swarm stars Dominique Fishback as Dre, a woman living with her sister (Bailey’s Marissa) who grew up obsessed with a pop star called Ni’Jah and remains a diehard fan as an adult. As stated in the show’s trailer, “Talk about Ni’Jah, you get stung.” Dre takes defending her idol very seriously, and it’s a level of dedication that often lands Dre in very dark places.
With all seven episodes of Swarm now available to stream on Prime Video, Bailey took the time to celebrate by joining us for an episode of Collider Ladies Night Pre-Party to recap her journey from her earliest acting and music ambitions to singing the National Anthem at the 2022 World Series and starring in Swarm.

I always want more time at the end of interviews, but especially at the end of interviews with Melissa Barrera. I had the pleasure of having her on Collider Ladies Night in January of 2022 for the release of Scream and every single answer was thoughtful, detailed, and oozing with passion for her craft. A year later, nothing has changed in that respect, but Barrera has experienced a bit of an evolution in terms of the types of projects she finds herself drawn to and the goals she has for herself in the business.
In her latest release, Scream VI, Barrera returns as Samantha Carpenter, the daughter of Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich) and one of the survivors of the 2022 Woodsboro massacre. When Chad (Mason Gooding), Mindy (Jasmin Savoy Brown), and her sister Tara (Jenna Ortega) move to New York City for college, Sam tags along so she can do everything in her power to keep her loved ones safe. That dedication is put to the test when a new Ghostface emerges and threatens to tear the “Core Four” apart.
In celebration of the March 10th release of Scream VI, Barrera took the time to return to Collider Ladies Night and discuss the “big perspective shift” she’s had since the release of Scream 2022.

Cleopatra Coleman’s already accomplished quite a bit in film and television, but 2023 is looking to be an especially big year for the soaring star.
First she starred opposite Mia Goth and Alexander Skarsgård in Brandon Cronenberg’s Infinity Pool, a film about a couple who learn about an especially twisted law in the fictional seaside country of Li Tolqa. After being sentenced to death for hitting and killing a local man while driving back to their resort, Skarsgård’s James learns there’s a way out — but only for the wealthy. For a hefty price, James can pay to be cloned and have that duplicate executed in his place.
Soon after Infinity Pool arrived on January 27th, A Lot of Nothing made its way into theaters. In that one, Coleman stars opposite Y’lan Noel as Vanessa and James, a couple who opt to take matters into their own hands when they find out their neighbor is the LAPD officer responsible for the latest instance of an officer killing an unarmed victim.
Next up on Coleman’s 2023 schedule? Zack Snyder’s new movie — the highly anticipated epic space opera Rebel Moon due out on Netflix on December 22nd.
In celebration of a year packed with highly unique films, stellar collaborators, and loads of significant promise for the future, Coleman joined me for a Collider Ladies Night interview to explain how she went from making short films with her father to working with renowned forces in Hollywood like Snyder, Cronenberg, Goth, Noel, Kaitlyn Dever, and many more.
