Roger Ebert *** Every great film should seem new every time you see it. ***

[Jimmy Kowalski]

Two tumbs up Ebertu za nemerljiv doprinos americkoj filmskoj kulturi. Siguran sam da nece proci mnogo vremena, pre nego sto Holivud bude napravio biografski film o njemu. Mislim da bi bilo interesantno da fokus bude na njegovim pocecima kao pisca i kriticara, druzenju sa Russom Meyerom, Johnny Rottenom i uopste taj period od druge polovine 60-ih do 80-ih godina.

There's a Roger Ebert/Russ Meyer biopic in the works! Roger Ebert was an insurmountable figure in the film world, and no amount of homage could appropriately describe his impact on the field of cinematic analysis. It was only a matter of time before someone attempted to depict the legendary critic on celluloid. Interestingly enough, it will be a depiction of his relationship with Russ Meyer that we first see Rog as a central dramatic figure onscreen. Meyer, the FASTER, PUSSYCAT! KILL KILL! and VIXEN! director, was friends with Ebert for nearly 35 years until his death in 2004, and it is that relationship and it's genesis that will serve as the focus for an upcoming biopic.Christopher Cluess, who's worked on THE SIMPSONS, MADtv, and is an Emmy winner for his work on the fourth season of SCTV, has sold a script entitled RUSS & ROGER GO BEYOND centering around the production of BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS, which, of course, Meyer directed and Ebert wrote. The cute title (which I reckon should be axed) implies that the film will highlight the development of their friendship on that film's set, and maybe some juicy details of the making of that film. This is a pretty cool film geek project to keep on the lookout for, especially during the casting stage. Who they get to fill the shoes of these two icons will play a big part in the overall impact (and, ostensibly, the box office potential) of this particular project.
