Hidden Gems: ‘Eyes Of Laura Mars’ Is A Stylish Thriller With Renewed Resonance

Andrew Crump — Wed, 13 May 2020 15:51:00 +0000

A killer’s on the loose, stabbing people right in the peepers with an icepick, and the only person who can stop this madman is Laura Mars (Faye Dunaway). She, for reasons she neither understands nor appreciates, shares sight with the maniac when he goes about a-murdering in New York City, a witness forced to take a front-row seat as innocent people die screaming. Making a bad situation worse, each victim happens to be either a friend or a peer: The models she photographs, the publisher putting together a collection of her photography, the catty manager overseeing her career.

Johnny Depp & Salma Hayek Are Circling Emir Kusturica’s ‘Pancho Villa’ Biopic

Kevin Jagernauth — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 19:20:00 +0000

Johnny Depp is in “advanced negotiations” to join Emir Kusturica’s “Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman With Six Fingers,” a biopic about the famous revolutionary .

Depp, who previously worked with Kusturica on the excellent and underrated “Arizona Dream” way back in 1993, would play the lead role, and would act in Spanish. Depp’s “Desperado” co-star, Salma Hayek, is being courted for a role as well, probably as the six fingered woman (Javier Bardem was also rumored to be apart of this at one point too; it remains unclear what his involvement is now if any).

The pre-bout imbroglio: A remake of the radicalized,’60s love-on-the-run classic, “Bonnie & Clyde” is announced starring poptart singer cum “actress” Hilary Duff (and some other nobody).

“I think that my fans that are going to go see the movie don’t even know who she is, so you know…. I think it was a little unnecessary but I might be mad if I looked like that now too.” — Hilary Duff responds to Faye Dunaway’s snide remark, throws the Academy Award-winning actress under the bus for… having grown old… and says, don’t worry about any “Bonnie And Clyde,” remake losing cred, my fans won’t even know what the fuck that movie is.

Fay Dunaway Disses The ‘Bonnie & Clyde’ “Remake”

Adam Sweeney — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 23:28:00 +0000

You know the end is nigh when even “Bonnie and Clyde” is being remade.

You know a snowball has frozen over in hell where the remake in question will star tarts like Hilary Duff walking a bank-robbing mile in Faye Dunaway’s shoes, playing the role of Bonnie Parker. Kevin Zegers, the nobody who has appeared in “Transamerica”, “The Jane Austen Club” and our personal favorite, “MVP: Most Valuable Primate,” will play the role of Clyde Barrow.

‘Arizona Dream’: Vincent Gallo Does Carey Grant In ‘North By Northwest’

Rodrigo Perez — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 17:54:00 +0000

So yeah, we’re on an homage kick, sue us. The Vanity Fair Alfred Hitchcock photo portfolio salute reminds us of one of our favorite scenes in a little-seen film by one of our favorite and underrated directors Emir Kusturica. The kooky Serbian director is perhaps most well-known internationally for his very excellent epic Yugoslavia historical satire, “Underground” which won the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 1995. In the early ’90s, Kusturica’s madcap and often wildly silly, but intensely enjoyable sensibilties was drawn in by Hollywood for his only U.S.
