ude Law in dresses sure to be all the Rage
Jude Law
British actor Jude Law has never
been uncomfortable playing the
object of male desire on
screen, from "Wilde" to
"The Talented Mr.
Ripley" and even
"Sleuth."
But now he's taken it
to the next level in
Sally Potter's new film
"Rage," which stars
Law as a cross-dressing
model named Minx.
The latest film from the
director of "Orlando" and
"The Tango Lesson" revolves
around the world of high fash-
ion in a very stripped-down
way; the indie feature cost only
about a million dollars to make —
despite a high-profile cast that
includes Law,
Dame Judi
Dench and
Steve
Buscemi — and was shot principally
against a blue screen.
"Rage" had its world premiere at
February's Berlin Film Festival, so look for
Law and company to work the runway at a
theater near you later this year, wearing
really tall, uncomfortable heels.
Eliza Dushku to produce
Mapplethorpe biopic
She's best known as one of TV's sexiest
and most lethal action chicks, but
"Dollhouse" star Eliza Dushku really
wants to produce.
The "Buffy" alum has obtained rights to
the life story of photographer Robert
Mapplethorpe, the gay photographer
whose controversial works put him at the
center of public debate about government
arts funding.
Dushku sees the film as a vehicle for her
brother Nate, who bears a strong resem-
blance to Mapplethorpe, who died in 1989
at the age of 42 from AIDS complications.
Mapplethorpe's provocative work mixes
portraiture (his photographs of Patti Smith
helped define her public persona) with
images of graphic S/M and even flowers.
Dushku announced in January that she
had just finalized arrangements with
the Mapplethorpe estate. With no
writer or director yet attached,
the proposed film probably
won't develop until at least
2010, maybe later. You
can't hurry art.
Turnabout is fair
play on
'Eva Adams'
The
idea of
a sex-
ist
Pig
waking up in a woman's body and being
forced to get a taste of his own medicine
has been a perennial favorite theme for
movies, from the 1940 screwball comedy
"Turnabout" to Debbie Reynolds in
"Goodbye, Charlie" to Perry King turning
into Ellen Barkin in Blake Edwards'
"Switch."
Everyone loves to see:a man have to
shave his legs badly for the first time.
Now the small screen takes a stab at the
idea with the kind-of-silly-named "Eva
Adams," a new pilot for Fox.
Sexist sportswriter Adam Evanson has a
curse placed on him by a witch, and he
turns into Eva (played by Rhea Seehorn of
"The Starter Wife"). The much-missed
James van der Beek plays one of Adam's
equally piggish pals.
Oh, and despite the comic potential in
this premise, "Eva Adams" is an hour-long
"drama." If it makes the cut, look for it on
Fox this fall.
'An Inconvenient Truth': The opera
A1 Gore's study of climate change, "An
Inconvenient Truth," has an ever-growing
carbon footprint of kudos — the movie
won an Oscar, the audiobook snagged a
Grammy and Gore himself was given a
Nobel Prize for his work calling global
attention to global warming.
Attention, then, people who give prizes
for operas: Gore's PowerPoint presentation
is being adapted for that genre as well.
Gay poet J.D. McClatchy has signed on
to write the libretto for composer Giorgio
Battistelli for a piece that was commis-
sioned by the legendary La Scala opera
house in Milan.
"An Inconvenient Truth" is scheduled to
open in 2011, although that projection
could be delayed by the recent departure of
director William Friedkin. The premiere
could also be held up if half of Europe is
covered by the ocean, but that's another
story.
