IndieWire’s Filmmaker Toolkit revisits how Johnny Knoxville’s early self‑stunt footage—shot with Spike Jonze and edited by Jeff Tremaine—launched Jackass, including Knoxville’s gun stunt and a makeshift vest with porn mags, MTV’s initial hesitation to air the footage, and how the material evolved into the MTV series and the film Jackass: Best and Last.
Jackass: Best and Last frames the finale as more than stunts—it's a meditation on friendship, aging, and how a wild prank show evolved into a heartfelt franchise. From its Scrappy origins to a rolling montage that honors the crew, the piece chronicles the unlikely bond that held the group together, the inclusion of new faces, and the bittersweet decision to bid farewell, capped by a Mick Jagger–approved end-credits tribute.

The campaign video, written and directed by Spike Jonze, stars Zendaya in a stark white room surrounded by dancers, with Roach styling looks from the collection, underscoring Zendaya’s ongoing multi-year partnership with On.

Dick Van Dyke stars in Coldplay's new music video for "All My Love," showcasing his singing and dancing talents at 98 years old. Directed by Spike Jonze and Mary Wigmore, the video is a heartfelt reflection on Van Dyke's illustrious career, featuring scenes shot at his Malibu home and including his family. Van Dyke expresses gratitude for his long career and remains optimistic about life, while Chris Martin performs a freestyle song about aging for him.
Spike Jonze's film "Her" captures the techno-optimism of the Obama era, presenting a near-future world where a lonely man falls in love with an artificially intelligent operating system named Samantha. While the film's portrayal of a human-AI relationship may seem quaint now, the most striking aspect is the protagonist's luxurious lifestyle as a non-famous writer. In a world where AGI exists and is widely accepted, Theodore's career remains stable and lucrative, which seems unrealistic given the potential for AI to replace his job. The film's vision of the future assumes economic progress and a higher quality of life, making it appear more like a fantasy in today's world of increasing skepticism about the future.
