Julianne Nicholson, Sarah Shahi ‘Still Surprised’ by Who Killed James Marsden’s ‘Paradise’ Character
Disney/Brian Roedel Dan Fogelman‘s newest show, Paradise, shocked viewers — and the cast — by killing off James Marsden‘s character Cal during the first episode.
During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Julianne Nicholson and Sarah Shahi revealed their reaction when they finally found out who was behind the fictional former president’s death.
“We were kept in the dark when we started filming,” Shahi, 45, who plays psychiatrist Gabriela Torabi, recalled. “At least I was, I didn’t know until later.”
Nicholson, 53, meanwhile, wanted to know as much as possible. “I’m always happy for me — the actor — to have as much information as the character does because it is just nicer to not have to fake it sometimes,” the actress, who portrays a top advisor to Marsden’s President Cal, noted. “We knew fairly soon after filming.”

Hulu’s political thriller Paradise premiered on Tuesday, January 28, with a three-episode series introduction. Paradise initially appeared to be set in a serene and wealthy community forced to face the realities of a shocking murder. In typical Fogelman fashion, however, there was a twist at the end of the premiere when Paradise was revealed to be an underground bunker housing the world’s most prominent individuals after an apocalyptic event destroyed the rest of humanity.
“The biggest lengths [we had to go through to keep the twist secret] are happening now when we’re actually talking to people about it,” Nicholson told Us about how they have managed to keep the true Paradise story a surprise. “When we were on set, everybody knows what’s up, so we don’t have to be that secretive.”
Disney/Ser Baffo She continued: “But now the trick is how do you grab people’s attention and assure them that this is something different without giving away any of the details? But we’re very excited for people to get on the ride with us.”
The narrative shake ups kept on coming when Marsden, 51, was killed off minutes into the premiere. While it was already revealed that Paradise would be following the high stakes investigation into Cal’s death, the first three episodes introduced several suspects who could have benefited from the former president’s death.

“Whenever the scripts would come out, they weren’t secretive. I’ve been on projects in which they would not release the script until you were ready to shoot those pages,” Shahi told Us. “But then this one, they were not selfish with their scripts. The minute one was ready to come out, they would send it over to us.”
Despite knowing all the answers, Shahi and Nicholson were still caught off guard when they learned who killed Cal.
Disney/Ser Baffo “I don’t think anyone saw this coming. I am still surprised,” Shahi admitted. “I’m still surprised and I know what happened.”
Nicholson credited Paradise for finding a way to utilize Marsden’s skills as an actor, adding, “He’s James Marsden. He is one of the most charming, affable, funny, lovable and handsome people. I think he also has a self-deprecating side of himself that I saw within this character that makes you feel for him.”

As the show continues to unfold, the audience will be surprised by Cal’s journey.
“Your heart breaks for him being this figurehead of a president who was never able to live up to his father’s definition of who he thought he could be,” Nicholson teased. “That just goes to show how great James is in terms of balancing all of those things at once. That you feel that way for him.”
New episodes of Paradise will be released on Hulu every Tuesday.

Review: Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore are remarkable in ‘The Room Next Door’
For her performance in “The Room Next Door,” Tilda Swinton is now a Golden Globe nominee for best actress in a drama. Whether or not she wins a Globe on Sunday, Swinton deserves to share recognition with her brilliant co-star Julianne Moore. The two almost breathe as one in their remarkable acting duet.
Also of note: “The Room Next Door,” now in theaters after winning the top prize at the Venice Film Festival, is the first full-length feature in English from Spain’s legendary wild man, the writer and director Pedro Almodóvar, who modulates his usual flamboyance to match the softer cadences of the heart.
You can almost hear the heartbeats of these old friends, who gather in a country rental home near Woodstock in upstate New York.
Swinton plays Martha, a war correspondent who hasn’t seen Ingrid (Moore) since their younger days as journalists at the same magazine. The house is filled with windows that open up to the sights and sounds of nature humming with life.
This idyllic house, where Edward Hopper’s painting “People In The Sun” hangs on a wall, is also the place where Martha has come to die.

Not with sadness or resignation about her terminal cancer but as the act of a fiercely independent woman who wants to go out on her own terms.
She has asked only that Ingrid accompany her and live in the room next door until she’s ready to take the euthanasia pill she obtained on the dark web. Since she has barely spoken to Martha in decades, Ingrid wonders why Martha hasn’t chosen a closer friend to assist in her suicide. It turns out she has, but they all refused to comply for reasons personal and legal.

“The Room Next Door” soars on the piercing connection between these two women, with Ingrid bonding so closely with Martha that she asks permission to write about Martha after her passing. There is even a direct evocation of “The Dead,” the James Joyce short story about the snow of mortality that falls on us all.
If Almodóvar had trusted himself to stay up close and personal with these extraordinary women in crisis, “The Room Next Turn” would rank among the filmmaker’s best. Sadly, that’s not what happens.
Basing his script on Sigrid Nunez’s 2020 novel “What Are You Going Through,” Almodóvar breaks the mesmerizing aura created by Swinton and Moore for a series of awkward flashbacks that work on the page but feel clunky and intrusive on screen.
We watch Martha and Ingrid, played by younger actors, make career decisions as they drift in and out of relationships, including hooking up at different times with the same man, Damian (John Turturro), a joyous presence now reduced to stern lectures on environmental collapse.

There is even a climactic visit from Martha’s daughter, Michelle, also played by Swinton, who resents her mother for refusing to reveal the identity of her father, who we see in a violent vision rushing into a burning building.
Almodóvar freights these scenes with tangled subplots and themes of personality transference that tilt the movie off course, when all we need to know is written on the faces of Swinton and Moore. Their extraordinary artistry makes this death-fixated film feel thrillingly alive.
As a fan of both Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore, I was eagerly anticipating the release of their new film, ‘The Room Next Door’. And I must say, they did not disappoint.In this psychological thriller, Swinton and Moore play two neighbors who become entangled in a web of secrets and lies that ultimately leads to a shocking revelation. The chemistry between the two actresses is palpable, and their performances are nothing short of remarkable.
Swinton, known for her chameleon-like ability to disappear into any role, brings a sense of mystery and intrigue to her character. Moore, on the other hand, exudes vulnerability and strength in equal measure, making her character both relatable and complex.
The film itself is beautifully shot, with a haunting score that perfectly complements the tension and suspense of the story. Director Maria Schrader has crafted a gripping and thought-provoking narrative that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
Overall, ‘The Room Next Door’ is a must-see for fans of psychological thrillers and stellar performances. Swinton and Moore shine in their respective roles, delivering a masterclass in acting that will linger in your mind long after the credits roll.
