Borderline (2025, W/D: Warden) S: Samara Weaving, Ray Nicholson, Jimmie Fails, Alba Bapti
COCAINE BEAR writer Jimmy Warden makes his twisted directorial debut in this edge-of-your-seat thriller.
A violent sociopath Paul (Ray Nicholson), escapes from a mental hospital and embarks on a dangerous rampage. His target: Sofia (Samara Weaving), a world-famous pop star. An obsessive fan, he takes Sofia hostage in her own home, delusionally believing they’re getting married. Paul is desperate to prove his dedication but Sofia’s just trying to survive the night. As Paul grows more unhinged, his fantasy becomes more dangerous. With help from her loyal bodyguard (Eric Dane), Sofia must fight not only her life, but for her sanity, and escape the sinister grip of her stalker and his growing group of accomplices.

This was completed a while ago and was in the 2023 TIFF. There was another film called Borderline that also came out in 2023. Can't find any reviews of this from the TIFF market screening. Warden was busy promoting Cocaine Bear to give this his attention. He's also Weaving's husband.

Weaving is doing a great job of making a name for herself as a genre actor, and Nicholson seems like he realizes he shouldn't try to look the gift horse of being the son of Jack Nicholson in the mouth. Will give it a try.
