And his character is like a suit of clothes-I think it's an aesthetic attraction I feel, and not an erotic one. Doc is alive, Spike is dead, but Spike's sexiness is a living thing, and Doc's is dead and cold. Compare this Doc with Spike, just for a moment. He's so stunningly pale and consumptive, fucked up and sly, dangerous and doomed. Val as Val got a bit puffy as time went on, became a little too much of himself, but Val as Doc is a work of art and will stay that way forever. I was surfing and I paused and heard a lewd and lazy voice drawl, "Why Johnny Tyler, you madcap, where are you going with that shotgun?" And then one of the most gorgeous faces of all time came on screen, Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday. You know, there are the perversely uplifting parts of this movie, and then there are the miserably unjust parts that make me just want to bitch-slap so many of the people in it. Meanwhile, Muriel's Wedding is playing on cable again. I'm sure I'm very behind on the good stuff.
The Stuff of Legend by privatetentacle (which may be the best user name ever). *porn* Okay, it has a semblance of plot, like in how Clark knocks over the clock, and the clock breaks, and then.yeah. Great writing here, even in apparently offhand lines, like, "Lex did his best to think like a methodical German woman and succeeded in locating the extra kitchen chair." (My favorite.) And I'm a happy-ending sucker-I don't know why that suddenly sounds dirty, but never mind-so I love when the universe is torn apart and restitched to my liking. I'm not the best Superman reader because I'm not up on the variations of canon out there, but I love stories like this because they feel rich and mythic and familiar even to someone like me (on the fannish fringes). I'm not watching it this season so far, and in general I haven't been reading much of anything. Cosmatos, was reportedly funded by the royalties of this movie.Somehow, like dice that keep coming up double sixes, everything I've read today has been Smallville. In addition to these facts, it's also worth noting that Lester Moore's tombstone in Tombstone is actually the real deal and Beyond the Black Rainbow, the directorial debut of Panos Cosmatos, the son of the late George P. Alas, it was a critical and financial disappointment. But rather than cut his losses, he made his own biopic. As it turns out, Kevin Costner was initially involved with Tombstone, but he disagreed with their approach to Earp and moved on. The same thing happened with 1993's Tombstone and 1994's Wyatt Earp, but it wasn't simply a coincidence. Whether it's Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down, Armaggedon and Deep Impact, No Strings Attached and Friends with Benefits, The Prestige and The Illusionist, Capote and Infamous, and several others, Hollywood has a bad habit of putting out two very similar movies within (or near) the same calendar year. There's a common trend in Hollywood where two very similar movies will come out within a year or even months of each other. Kevin Costner Was Initially Involved But He Left Due To Creative Differences, Resulting In His Own Movie, Wyatt Earp But it wasn’t fun to do that it wasn’t fun to cut out eight of the reasons you wanted to do the movie.

I knew what I needed from the character in terms of the movie, in terms of making the movie work. I saved most of everybody else’s stuff to do. So once he was gone, there’s only one way I’m going to get the trust of these actors and that is to cut myself out of this goddamn movie and make some changes make Wyatt an 'aura' character. There’s stuff in that original script that if you were ever to read it you’d go, 'Oh ho ho.' We needed to lose 20 pages. Great actors who were in a very difficult situation, who I bought their trust by cutting myself out of the movie-as an actor. There’s a lot of great stuff in Tombstone. To win over his castmates, however, he cut out his own scenes and dialogue, keeping their scenes as intact as possible. Whenever he was reportedly taking over directorial duties (unofficially, at least) there was the risk of Russell using his star power to make the project centered more around him. In an effort to keep the project moving, Russell took initiative, as we noted earlier, and did everything in his power to keep the movie afloat. Though he shot a few scenes (some of which might still be in the movie, apparently), he was let go from the project whenever his screenplay became too unwieldy and he was unwilling to make any cuts. Kurt Russell Cut Some Of His Own Scenes To Earn The Trust Of His Fellow Actorsĭuring the early days of shooting Tombstone, screenwriter Kevin Jarre (Glory) was also on-board as the director.
