REESE WITHERSPOON IS MISSING

Photo Credit: Splash News

When we heard that Reese Witherspoon changed her mind and dropped out of doing the movie Bunny Lake is Missing, we weren’t surprised. The film is a remake of a 60’s psychological thriller about a mother whose child disappears from preschool and police try to convince her she never had a child. Joe Carnahan was set to write and direct. Reese blamed her depature on “script problems” but we think the real reason is she finally got around to watching the director Joe Carnahan’s LAST feature “Smokin’ Aces!” One look at THAT macho debacle was enough to change any intelligent girl’s mind! Smart move, Reese.

   The original was awesome! More likely there was no way to script something new that would compare with that Carnaby Street, mid-60s London style–with that great cast (GORGEOUS Carol Lynley at the zenith of her beauty, Kier Dullea, Noel Coward and Sir Laurence Olivier) and director (Otto Preminger). I spoke to Carnahan and he was very excited about it…also a big fan of the original, as am I. There’s even a slight resemblance between Reese and young Lynley. Lynley, too, was hopeful since BUNNY is her personal favourite credit and Jodie Foster’s FLIGHT PLAN was a pale imitation of the premise.
   Definitely check out the original and see what all the fuss is about. (And a pretty cool mid-century soundtrack from The Zombies)

   Smokin’ Aces and Idllywild were the two worst movies of 2006. No wonder Reese changed her mind. I challenge anyone to say they LIKED Aces.

   Ohhh, I love me some Zombies.
   And remakes…..blaaa!!!!! For ince, the original Manchurian Candidate could not be remade, well, with any semblance of class. Even thinking about it was stupid beyond stupid.
   And for the Just-In Limberfake, ewwww, so UNsexy back, shoulders, neck, you name it. What IS with that???
