Variety‘s “Actors on Actors” series. In a wide-ranging conversation, the duo spoke about the movie-making measures Ruffalo took to pull off a thicker physique in his latest film, “Poor Things.”“Do you know I had an a– pad in?” Ruffalo, 56, asked Robert Downey Jr., 58, about his commitment to the role. “My legs were, like, four inches bigger,” he continued.

Poor Things” costume exhibition had its opening reception Nov. 30 at the ASU FIDM Museum in Downtown Los Angeles. Hosted by costume designer Arianne Phillips, the event drew notable artisans such as “Poor Things” costume designer Holly Waddington; fashion designer and former Moschino creative director Jeremy Scott; “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes” costume designer Trish Summerville; “Project Runway” star Gunnar Deatherage and “Maestro” costume designer Mark Bridges.

Costume Designer Holly Waddington has made her way to America to celebrate her work for Yorgos Lanthimos’ celebrated “Poor Things.” And on this particular night, that means the opening of an exhibit of the film’s costumes at the Fashion Institute of Design And Merchandising Museum in downtown Los Angeles. Waddington’s credits include period films such as “Lady Macbeth” and “The Great,” but she describes this particular project as a “very extreme experience.” READ MORE: “Poor Things” Review: Yorgos Lanthimos’ deliciously funny and fantastic epic is one of the year’s very best [Venice] “It was a lot of coming up with things.

Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo first met 28 years ago, through their girlfriends at the time, before hunting a serial killer in David Fincher’s “Zodiac,” and well before battling Thanos in Marvel’s “Avengers” movies. The milage on their friendship shows in their shared enthusiasm for their electrifying performances this year: Downey in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” as the calculating U.S. Atomic Energy Commission official Lewis Strauss, and Ruffalo in Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” as Duncan Wedderburn, an unscrupulous libertine. Both actors stretched far beyond their well-established movie star personas, and they were eager to ask each other about how they’d done it. Robert Downey Jr.: We really met when Fincher cast us in “Zodiac.” Mark Ruffalo: What a wild ride that was.

The duo’s Spotify “Archetypes” podcast was canceled earlier this year and the couple have frequently been in the headlines for dissing their UK-based relatives.

Justine Triet’s Anatomy of a Fall has given her an experience unlike any other she’s had over her 15-year career — one that includes winning the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. “I would say that the job I’ve been doing since May is a job that I had never done before. It’s a new craft entirely,” she says. Anatomy of a Fall, which she co-wrote with her partner Arthur Harari, eschews the traditional courtroom drama to explore familial relationships when an ambitious, sexually self-assured novelist, played by Sandra Hüller, is put on trial for the suspicious death of her husband Samuel at their home in the French Alps.

With only one month left in 2023, it’s time for major publications and critics (and, of course, John Waters) to make their annual top 10 lists of the year’s best movies. And as usual, legendary French film mag Cahier du Cinema leads the charge with its ten best films of 2023.

December is overridden with terrific and exciting films that are worth adding to your likely growing “to watch” list. As end-of-year “best of” lists continue to roll in, along with critics’ awards already naming the year’s strongest contenders, it’s easy to lose certain titles to the shuffle.

He spoke to Variety about his ties to Morocco, why he’s “happy to be promoting and starting to work again” now that the strike is over, and his role in Tim Burton’s upcoming “Beetlejuice 2.” How does it feel to be back in Marrakech? I’m happy to be back. Morocco for me is “The Last Temptation of Christ,” a film that was a beautiful experience.

In most fantasy movies, the job of the production team is to create a breathtaking new world that dazzles the viewer, but this Oscar season shows a new trend: stories in which the characters themselves are taken on a journey of discovery and adventure.
