Minnie Driver claims producers for 1998’s Hard Rain told her she couldn’t wear a wetsuit because “they wanted to see my nipples.”
The Good Will Hunting actress said on Mondays’ episode of the I Weigh With Jameela Jamil podcast that she was made to feel like “an idiot” when she pushed back on a costume decision for the disaster action thriller, despite filming in “20 million gallons of water.”
“It’s set during this massive storm,” she explained. “There were huge rain machines. We shot crazy hours. It was tough…. Everybody else could wear a wetsuit underneath their costume, and I was told by the producers that I couldn’t because they wanted to see my nipples, and that there was no point in having the wet T-shirt if you couldn’t have what was underneath it.”

Actors and actresses often come across projects whose filming ends up making them quite uncomfortable and Minnie Driver is no exception. Back in 1998, the actress starred in Mikael Salomon’s heist action-thriller, Hard Rain. While the film didn’t perform well at the box office, bringing in less than $20 million, this was far from what soured Minnie Driver’s memories of the film.

According to Minnie Driver, she was made to go through some serious uncomfortable working situations. Apparently, she was not allowed to wear a wet suit underneath her clothes, unlike other actors, despite the fact that they were filming with rain machines. And when Minnie Driver decided to push back, she felt as if she was being punished for speaking up.

Minnie Driver said during a recent interview on Jameela Jamil’s “I Weigh” podcast that producers on her 1998 disaster movie “Hard Rain” allegedly told her not to wear a wetsuit while filming with rain machines because “they wanted to see my nipples” (via Entertainment Weekly). The film, directed by Mikael Salomon, opened a year after Driver’s breakthrough in “Good Will Hunting,” which earned her an Oscar nomination. Morgan Freeman and Christian Slater headlined “Hard Rain.”
“It’s set during this massive storm, there were huge rain machines. We shot crazy hours. It was tough,” Driver told Jamil. “Everybody else could wear a wetsuit underneath their costume, and I was told by the producers that I couldn’t because they wanted to see my nipples, and that there was no point in having the wet t-shirt if you couldn’t have what was underneath it.”

The beloved animated series “Kim Possible,” which aired for five years on the Disney Channel in the early aughts, connected with its audience because it portrayed a strong but fashion-forward young woman who fought crime and got good grades. So it only makes sense that when the network decided to reboot the story and titular character as a live-action TV movie, the creative team behind it would want to preserve the message of female empowerment while updating the tale to relate to a whole new batch of 6 to 14-year-old viewers.
“When I first joined the project, it was right around the time ‘Wonder Woman’ had been released,” says executive producer Zanne Devine. “Given this moment in time, my pitch was this is ‘Wonder Woman’ for the prepubescent set.”
This is the age of inclusion and gender neutrality, after all, so gone are the days of Kim (Sadie Stanley) shaking her...

What a busy twelve months it’s been for costume design. Really though, this art, or craft, or business (Deborah Nadoolman Landis insists it is definitely a business) gets more talked about each year. 2013 was especially exciting however as it seemed every month something even more thrilling arrived to fawn over. In the last few weeks alone we have had The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and Sleepy Hollow, and now American Hustle and The Wolf of Wall Street on the horizon. Dipping back further, it was Stoker that got us excited about subtext, The Great Gatsby that slammed the lid on that twenties revival once and for all, and Behind the Candelabra that put Michael Douglas in a 16ft fox fur cape and white brocade jumpsuit.

The fifth season of Breaking Bad was released on DVD and Blu-ray on 3rd June. To celebrate this Clothes on Film has Five ‘mobile meth lab’ t-shirts to give away from Level Up Wear (available to buy in July). They look exactly like the image below and go great with jeans.
T-shirts are standard gents size medium, so you can either wear it to the pub, sleep in it or pass onto a smaller relative.
Breaking Bad is arguably the best thing on television right now so it will be sad to see the show leave our screens for good later this year. It has always been thematically rich and costume plays no small part in this. Costume designer Kathleen Detoro gave us Walter White aka Heisenberg’s (Bryan Cranston) gangster symbolic pork pie, and surely no-one has failed to notice the amount of purple Marie (Betsy Brandt) wears? Representing death,...

As costume designer for the CBS period series "Vegas," Kathleen Detoro is a big fan of online marketplace Etsy. It has proved to be a gold mine for one-of-a-kind vintage pieces for leading lady Carrie-Anne Moss, who plays district attorney Katherine O'Connell, and the rest of the cast.
"You can search for anything on Etsy," she tells Zap2it. "I've been purchasing from them and there are different antique vendors all over the world ... It's a good thing for the company and the show. [The vendors] will tell you the story behind it and it's more personal and really a nice thing to help the economy and the show and get these beautiful items that we use. And guess what, they were also all made in America. I also like that very much. I feel good about doing it."
