Paparazzi
IN THEATRES: SEPTEMBER 3, 2004 Cole Hauser stars in this riveting revenge thriller as Bo, a decent Montana family man who makes it big as the star of an action-movie franchise. Unfortunately his naivete to the Los Angeles scene makes him an easy target for a cadre of scuzzy tabloid photographers headed by Rex Harper (Tom Sizemore). They ensnare, exploit, entrap, sue, and harass him, attack his car with flashbulbs, and put his little boy into a coma. A Malibu detective (Dennis Farina) shrugs his shoulders at the ineffectuality of the law, leading Bo to take revenge into his own hands. Anger-management candidate Mel Gibson produced and appears in a blink-or-you`ll-miss-it cameo, as do Matthew McConaughey and Chris Rock. Daniel Baldwin is one of the photographers, and he and Sizemore really crank the reprehensible-creep level to a good, old-fashioned high. In the best tradition of violent revengers, the moral compass starts spinning out of control by the end, and you can feel the fury of all the stars involved who have to live life to the constant accompaniment of tabloid lies and flashing cameras. PAPARAZZI is effective, it`s fast, and it has a good moody score by Brian Tyler.

Jane Austen in Manhattan
Director James Ivory brings the intrigue and guile of rival theater companies to life in JANE AUSTEN IN MANHATTAN. At Sotheby's auction house in New York, a theater producer and an ambitious off-Broadway director buy an obscure childhood play written by Jane Austen. Robert Powell stars as Pierre, an avant-garde director who becomes engaged in a heated rivalry with his former mentor and lover, traditionalist director Lilianna Zorska (Anne Baxter). While competing to produce different versions of the Austen play, the two also compete for the loyalties of a young actress, Ariadne (Sean Young in her first screen role). The actual Jane Austen manuscript was sold at Sotheby's in London, and London Weekend Television became interested in producing the play--without reading it first. Merchant Ivory Productions, which had produced a film for LWT's THE SOUTH BANK SHOW two years earlier (HULLABALOO OVER GEORGIE AND BONNIE'S PICTURES), also became interested in filming the sight-unseen manuscript. However, after reading the work, screenwriter Ruth Prawer Jhabvala realized that the Austen play was not developed enough to be a film and instead used the acquisition of the text as the seed of an idea that ultimately became JANE AUSTEN IN MANHATTAN.
