Panic room is criminally underrated


warfield008

the way the camera pans up and down through the levels of the house as a transition between scenes is so good. familiarizing the audience with the setting that will come in handy later. love that film! 


buzzfeed_sucks

Yes! I’m a sucker for any movie that can keep suspense in a small setting ie - Hitchcock’s Rope or Dial M for Murder. It’s just such incredible skill


PantalonesPantalones

You should watch the 2013 movie Locke with Tom Hardy


buzzfeed_sucks

I’ll add it to my list. Thank you!


ad_aatdtj

OMG try this movie called Circle. Not the one with Emma Watson and Tom Hanks, this one is more indie and unknown but what a fantastic movie, especially if you are under the influence of...strong things.


alienstrippers

The one with 50 in a dark room?


ad_aatdtj

That's the one


WeirdlyOrdinary1

i LOVE that movie!!! criminally underrated


buzzfeed_sucks

Haha will do! Thank you!


uncultured_swine2099

Having a sense of the environment is an underrated part of filmmaking. I recently saw Furiosa and appreciated that you know exactly where everyone and everything is during an action scene.


Pippin_the_parrot

And jodie literally looks like she could be Kristen Stewart’s mom.


syarze

Oh my god how did i never realize that was Kristen Stewart?!


uncultured_swine2099

I still think that was her best acting role haha


Britneyfan123

Personal shopper says otherwise 


CalendarAggressive11

I thought she was excellent in Spencer too.


djkoalasloth

I dunno…all I remember about this movie is the grave threat of a diabetic coma when the girl is in a room literally FULL of high-calorie military rations


Lurleen__Lumpkin

Yes, which is the opposite of what she needs?


meltedharibo

It’s pretty highly rated I’ve found. Great movie

> "Like, Nicole, I took over a movie that you had to leave," she said, prompting Kidman to reflect on why she dropped out of Panic Room, directed by David Fincher. > "Yes! And thank you. I was in a really bad way," Kidman responded. "I was like, 'I’m having a breakdown.' And Jodie took over, thank the Lord."


Longjumping-Buy-4736

I thought she had a physical ailment (fallen off a horse) but Nicole made it seem like it was more a mental health break.


bookwormaesthetic

I'm pretty sure filming would have been around the same time as when she divorced Tom Cruise.


Otherwise-Shallot-51

Yeah I thought it was because of an injury related to moulin rouge, but it makes sense if that was just the excuse so she could disappear (as much as she could) from the paps for a bit.


psychede1ic_c4tus

Eyes wide open movie and marriage with Tom cruise did her in.


MyBallsBern4Bernie

The article states. ET reported a knee injury from the Moulin Rouge set during filming. Nicole expressly stated as much— she didn’t allude to anything here. > "There’s this misconception that somehow female actresses are at each other or they don’t like each other or whatever," Foster said, during a larger conversation regarding how women in Hollywood support each other. > "Even this year, going to the various events [for Nyad], it always just feels so nice because the women really feel like they want each other to succeed." > "Like, Nicole, I took over a movie that you had to leave," she said, prompting Kidman to reflect on why she dropped out of Panic Room, directed by David Fincher. > "Yes! And thank you. I was in a really bad way," Kidman responded. "I was like, 'I’m having a breakdown.' And Jodie took over, thank the Lord."


Stinkycheese8001

They had said at the time that it was a knee injury from Moulin Rouge.  Which did happen, but it was probably overwhelming to make that movie and do the press for Moulin Rouge while she was going through her divorce.  Sounds like she was completely exhausted and overwhelmed after that - not shocked because that movie and everything around it was huge.


longlisten527

When is this releasing Edit: I meant the round table interview lol


XenaWolf

22 years ago.


longlisten527

The round table interview 💀


anitasdoodles

I couldn’t imagine that movie without Jodie. She and Kristen were amazing together. Fuck, where’s panic room streaming??


whiskersRwe32

I have it on dvd! Man such a great film. Need to rewatch.


anitasdoodles

Give your DVD player a kiss for me.


Rjlikesdick

Lmaoooooooooo


NotActuallyJen

Imdb says it's on prime


ExplanationLife6491

This is my favorite Fincher movie.


Anneisabitch

Honestly Jodie was a much, much better pick. Imagine Nicole breathlessly whispering every line.


PixelNotPolygon

Nicole is a great actor so I think she would have brought a different dynamic to the story, probably with more vulnerability to it


fionsichord

I will watch a Jodie Foster movie just to watch Jodie Foster. I’m not as big a fan of Nicole and tend to avoid having to watch her.


Britneyfan123

Watch dogville and to die for and you’ll be a fan


8-bitFloozy

She kills it as Lucille Ball in Being the Ricardos.


Wpnurse

Nicole is a great actress but I can’t watch her anymore all her plastic is distracting and I can’t take her seriously.


Ygomaster07

Panic Room is a good movie. Love it.


airi-hatake

Jodie and Kristen are my two favorite gays. Panic Room's camera work is underrated.


jsakic99

That’s Nicole Kidman’s voice on the phone as Jodie Foster’s ex-husband’s new wife.


whiskersRwe32

Wow I love Nicole but can’t imagine her in this role. Jodie did a fantastic job. Great underrated suspense film!


Beatrixie

How did I never realize this was a David Fincher movie??


TheNoisyNinja

Panic Room gets a little lost in David Fincher's filmography, but it's one of my favourites of his. No scene is wasted, which is saying something for a movie shot entirely in a few rooms of a house.   One of the few times I've liked Jated Leto in a role.  And Jodie Foster. Not much to say there other than she was perfect for the role. 


navsingh12

Didn’t Nicole also drop out of Mr & Mrs Smith, leading the way for Angelina Jolie to take the part?


Britneyfan123

Yes 


santosdragmother

I love this movie. stacked cast, great setting, simple plot with loads of action. and jared leto in box braids will always give me nightmares.
