THE HATEFUL EIGHT---Kurt Russell confirmed he's co-starring in the Quentin Tarantino Western movie described as, "the steadily ratcheting tension that develops after a blizzard diverts a stagecoach from its route and traps a pitiless and mistrustful group which includes a competing pair of bounty hunters, a renegade Confederate soldier, and a female prisoner in a saloon in the middle of nowhere." Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Dern, Walton Goggins, Amber Tamblyn, James Remar and Michael Madsen are expected to join the cast.

BEAUTIFUL AND TWISTED---Lifetime tv movie based on the murder of Ben Novack, Jr., heir to the famed Fontainbleau Miami Beach Hotel which was featured in GOLDFINGER.

We're all big fans of the original film and we didn't want to just re-do what the movie does. Everything from the top-down changed. While the story has a lot of the same themes, it wouldn't make sense to tell the same story again...We changed the rules. In the movie, you can't change the rules of time. Here, you can.”
