At what point does a caregiver become the harbinger of death? That’s a question that the life of Charles Cullen answers. His is a name that sends shivers down the spine of anyone familiar with his chilling story. Born on February 22, 1960, in West Orange, New Jersey, Cullen seemed like an ordinary man with an extraordinary profession — nursing. Little did anyone know that behind his compassionate facade, he was harboring a sinister secret. His is a tale that would go down in the annals of time as gruesome and heartwrenching. With that in mind, let’s unravel the mind...

BAFTA and SAG Award nominee Eddie Redmayne (“The Good Nurse”) recently chatted with Gold Derby’s Denton Davidson about his process for portraying serial killer nurse Charles Cullen. Redmayne goes to truly dark depths for this role in the Netflix psychological drama. It’s a noticeable change of pace for the popular British actor who normally plays heroic figures on the big screen, including when he won the Best Actor Oscar for “The Theory of Everything” (2014).
Redmayne takes us behind the scenes on how the script for “The Good Nurse” first came to him, what it was like working with director Tobias Lindholm and co-star Jessica Chastain, and the film’s wild success on Netflix. As for what enticed him to do the project, he tells us, “It had this sort of label of true crime, but as it unraveled, it seemed almost genreless. It refused to be boxed.”

Welcome to Deadline’s International Disruptors, a feature where we shine a spotlight on key executives and companies shaking up the offshore marketplace. This week, we’re talking to Krysty Wilson-Cairns, the Oscar-nominated writer behind films such as 1917, Last Night In Soho and last year’s Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne starrer The Good Nurse. We sit down with the Scottish talent to talk about how she collaborates with big directors like Sam Mendes and Edgar Wright, her new outfit Great Company and why she plans to pay it forward.
If you’re unfamiliar with the word gallus, you haven’t met Krysty Wilson-Cairns. The Scottish writer uses the colloquial term to describe herself when reflecting on how she got work experience on the popular long-running Scottish detective series Taggart, which was shooting in her Glasgow neighborhood the summer she turned 15.
“I had somewhere I had to be,” recalls Wilson-Cairns.

Nearly two decades have passed since the arrest of New Jersey nurse Charles Cullen made national headlines, and now the story of how the serial killer was brought to justice by his coworker, Amy Loughren, has been adapted for the screen under the title “The Good Nurse.” Eddie Redmayne’s performance as Cullen has earned him his sixth Screen Actors Guild Award nomination, which could lead to a history-making victory. Since he already won the lead actor category for 2014’s “The Theory of Everything” and the ensemble award for 2020’s “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” he only needs to clinch this supporting trophy in order to become the first male recipient of all possible SAG Awards for film acting.
For the first time in nine years, all five supporting actor nominees are new to the category. Paul Dano (“The Fabelmans”) is the only other past SAG Award winner in the bunch,...

Eddie Redmayne turned in one of the subtler but ultimately shocking serial killer portrayals, starring with Jessica Chastain in the Tobias Lindholm-directed Netflix drama The Good Nurse. In the movie based on actual events, Redmayne’s Charlie Cullen goes from a non-descript night nurse who becomes a lifesaving friend to co-worker Amy Loughren (Jessica Chastain), until she realized her pal might be killing patients who should be recovering. He would ultimately confess to killing about 40 people, and drew 18 executive life sentences, while the hospital administrators who quietly dismissed him even though they had their suspicions were not punished for the cover-up.
In Redmayne, this is the kind of versatility you might expect from an actor who’s won the Oscar, Tony, Golden Globe, BAFTA and two Laurence Oliver awards and in turns such as Cabaret onstage, and The Trial of the Chicago 7. Here, Redmayne discusses the opinions he...

Eddie Redmayne, the guest on this episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast — which was recorded late last year in front of an audience at the Newport Beach Film Festival, where he was honored with the fest’s Icon Award — is a British actor who is only 41, but he has already amassed an incredible body of work on the stage and screens big and small. Over the course of his career, he’s won an Oscar, a Tony, a Golden Globe, a BAFTA Award and two Olivier Awards.
In terms of his work in film, he is best known for his performance as Dr. Stephen Hawking in 2014’s The Theory of Everything, for which he received many of those accolades, but he also gave memorable turns in 2011’s My Week with Marilyn, 2012’s Les Miserables, 2015’s The Danish Girl, 2020’s The Trial of the Chicago 7 and the...

Almost a decade into the true crime renaissance, appetites for fresh content – particularly of the white male serial-killer-next-door variety – remain insatiable. In December, “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” became the second most-watched English-language show in Netflix history, while Ted Bundy, the subject of two new movies in 2021, is more or less his own subgenre.
The latest hit is “The Good Nurse,” which debuted on Netflix in November and recently picked up a Golden Globe nomination for star Eddie Redmayne. Directed by Tobias Lindholm, it follows Charles Cullen, who is serving 18 consecutive life sentences for killing as many as 40 New Jersey hospital patients and is suspected of killing hundreds more.
All the reasons why his story was destined to be made into a movie – the number of victims, his unusual methodology, the fact that he hid in plain sight for so long – were the same reasons Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne...

“I had never heard of this guy, and I would be the kind of person who would know about the most prolific serial killer in the U.S.,” The Good Nurse director Tobias Lindholm said of the real-life Charles Cullen, played by Eddie Redmayne in the Netflix film.
“I realized this was not a story about necessarily a serial killer but about a whole system allowing him to continue to do what he was doing, and then I knew we had a story that would throw us back to the great ’70s thrillers that I love,” Lindholm added about Cullen and the for-profit American medical companies that shuffled the killer nurse around from hospital to hospital for years, resulting in hundreds of patient murders.

Cuban star Ana de Armas made waves with her controversial take on Marilyn Monroe in Andrew Dominik’s “Blonde,” an adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates’ novel about the late star. De Armas’ endlessly emotive performance makes an interesting contrast to London-born Eddie Redmayne, tightly controlled in “The Good Nurse,” as serial murderer Charles Cullen, whose crimes eventually raise the suspicions of the film’s title character, Amy Loughren (Jessica Chastain). In conversation, de Armas and Redmayne rave about each other’s work — an especially meaningful compliment for de Armas, as Redmayne knows his Monroe: He starred opposite Michelle Williams in 2011’s “My Week With Marilyn.”
Ana De Armas: I’ve been a big admirer of yours for a long time. I remember going to the premiere of “The Danish Girl.”
Eddie Redmayne: Really?
De Armas: And the after-party. I was just blown away by your performance. So it’s pretty...

One of the most unnerving performances of the year comes from Eddie Redmayne in Netflix’s The Good Nurse. While not as heavily hyped as some of their other awards contenders, the film was a hit with viewers, ranking high on the Netflix Top 10 for several weeks, and spawning a documentary spin-off, Capturing the Killer Nurse, which focused on the true story behind the film. In the movie, Eddie Redmayne plays Charles Cullen, a seemingly compassionate nurse who a colleague (played by Jessica Chastain) discovers is a serial killer. Cullen injected insulin into the IV bags of patients, leading to their deaths. To make things even scarier, the unions at the various hospitals he was working at shuffled him around rather than risk a criminal case. In the end, Cullen was linked with twenty-nine deaths, although he’s suspected of hundreds more, which would make him the most prolific serial killer in American history.

Eddie Redmayne won his first Oscar for playing the paralyzed genius Stephen Hawking in the warmly received biopic “The Theory of Everything.” In telling the story of how the Oxford-educated Hawking overcame his physical limitations brought on by Als — or Lou Gehrig’s disease — to have a brilliant career as a physicist and author (“A Brief History of Time” was a best seller), and achieve personal satisfaction with two wives and two children, Redmayne won the hearts of academy voters and claimed the Best Actor prize in 2015.
Seven years later, Redmayne is trying for a second gold statuette in another real-life role but this one is sinister and twisted. The British actor plays Charles Cullen, a nurse who is serving 18 consecutive life sentences for the murders of various patients in his care in the Netflix film “The Good Nurse.” The “good” in the title refers to Amy Loughren, the...

It’s the week before Eddie Redmayne’s latest film, Tobias Lindholm’s “The Good Nurse,” hits select theaters after a robust festival run. The Oscar winner is in an SUV, zipping from one engagement to the next. He’s been everywhere lately, Toronto to New York, Mill Valley to Newport Beach, Los Angeles to London. He’s all smiles.
And, hilariously, the genial Brit somehow lights up even more when asked why he took on the role of Charles Cullen, potentially America’s most prolific serial killer, for the Netflix drama.
Me: “This is so not an Eddie Redmayne role. You’re a serial killer!” Redmayne: “Oh, that’s like the loveliest thing you could possibly say!”

Tobias Lindholm’s “The Good Nurse,” now streaming on Netflix, features a chilling performance from Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne. In the true-crime drama, he plays serial killer Charles Cullen, a nurse who supposedly murdered hundreds of patients while in his care. Jessica Chastain plays Amy Loughren, a single mother and fellow nurse at Parkfield Memorial Hospital in New Jersey who uncovers Charles’ killings. Check out an exclusive featurette below, courtesy of Netflix, highlighting the challenges that went into Redmayne’s many-layered turn, which marks his creepiest role to date.

Based on the real-life story of a nurse who apparently killed hundreds of patients, this is a creepily watchable thriller with the subtlest hint of Fatal Attraction
Screenwriter Krysty Wilson-Cairns has crafted a nifty procedural thriller based on the true-crime case of Charles Cullen, the New Jersey nurse who in 2003 was finally arrested after apparently killing hundreds of patients over the years by covertly administering lethal, intravenous overdoses. The director is Tobias Lindholm, the film-maker and writer who has also worked with Thomas Vinterberg on The Hunt and Another Round; Eddie Redmayne is the insidiously personable and caring Cullen, and Jessica Chastain plays his co-worker, an overworked fellow nurse called Amy Loughren – a real-life figure who really did befriend Cullen, suspect the worst and work with the police to get him caught.

Eddie Redmayne has admitted he doesn’t think he’s made many “great” films.
The actor can next be seen playing American serial killer Charles Cullen in the Netflix movie The Good Nurse.
Redmayne, 40, has had an award-winning career spanning 20 years. He won an Oscar in 2015 for his performance as the physicist Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything, and was nominated for another the following year for his controversial role as pioneering transgender woman Lili Elbe in The Danish Girl.
But he still doesn’t think he’s made many brilliant movies. “The aspiration is always to make a great film and I don’t think I’ve made many of those,” he told The Times’s Saturday Review.
Speaking about his first big Hollywood role, opposite Robert De Niro in The Good Shepherd, he said: “I was paranoid, I was disappointed and I did beige work.”

Oscar-nominated director Darren Aronofsky and his longtime creative partner, Ari Handel, are on a mission. At their production company, Protozoa Pictures, the two want to use movies and television to make science cool at a time when it’s under attack.
“There’s a lens that we look at things through,” says Handel. “A lot of our work is pro-science or involves technology or the environment. Morally, we think the world can use that right now.”
Some of that has to do with the backgrounds of the pair — Aronofsky did field research as a student at Harvard, and Handel has a Ph.D. in neuroscience. But that embrace of empiricism was also something the two felt had become important during the Trump era, when the government was often at odds with experts.

Jessica Chastain may have already entered Marvel world with “Dark Phoenix,” but the Oscar winner calls upcoming Netflix true crime drama “The Good Nurse” her first real superhero film.
“The Good Nurse” tells the hauntingly true tale of serial killer nurse Charles Cullen (Eddie Redmayne) who is believed to have murdered as many as 400 patients over the course of his 16-year career in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Cullen killed patients by administering lethal doses of insulin and other potentially fatal drugs; he confessed to killing up to 40 people and is currently serving 17 consecutive life sentences in prison.
Cullen’s coworker and fellow nurse Amy Loughren (Chastain) ultimately led to Cullen’s capture. Loughren grew suspicious of Cullen after detectives investigated an unusual death at the hospital they worked.
