When i have time off i like to be out snowboarding or which Means she wont talk about her relationship with Browne or her widely reported Friendship with John f. Kennedyjr. A i just wont comment on any of that a Hannah says politely. A i keep thinking if i done to say anything maybe people will Stop Hannah is aware that she has sometimes been painted As a canny careerist who merely plays at being a female Peter pan. A i daydream a lot a says Hannah. A a in a spacy especially in situations that make me nervous. I think people have trouble with the idea that a person can be intelligent and shy at the same time. In a not a premeditated person. I never really thought out or planned my Hannah says she was just a very very Lucky Quot in her career. When she decided to move to los Angeles after High school ostensibly to attend the University of Southern California her parents were worried. A my Mother was petrified a she says. A she thought i was too vulnerable. She thought id get swept into some cult or something. Now they re a Little More relaxed. They be seen i can handle myself pretty Hannah remembers Many embarrassing auditions and a plenty of Crappy movies that never even made the to Heaters before her breakthrough role in splash. And even if her parents and others Are surprised that a a vulnerable Hannah Haldone so Well she is not. A i take my work seriously but i done to take the stardom thing seriously a she says. A i think when people get screwed up is when their self esteem is wrapped up in being a Star. I love movies and i love to be Able to live in a fantasy world but i done to believe in a a Star. I done to believe in a better than anyone Hollywood planning a hit off Rodney King Case by the los Angeles times o one has officially announced a movie based on the Rodney King Case but there is talk in Hollywood that a drama loosely patterned on the videotaped police beating of the Altadena calif., Motorist is in development at Robert Lawrence productions. A draft of a script with the working title Black and Blue is expected to land on the desk of Roger Birn Baum president of worldwide productions at 20th Century Fox film corp., in about two weeks but whether the Story parallels the King affair is unclear. It All seems to depend on whom one asks. Fox describes it As an action cop movie that takes place in los Angeles and involves a Young sheriffs Deputy. A High ranking studio executive insists a it is not the Rodney King Toby Haggerty manager for the films scheduled director Mario Van Peebles describes it As a a hard edged police drama a it is a Rodney King Type Story it addresses racial a we re not sure if we can Call it a trend but it looks As though Hollywood is going to try to Cash in on the rising popularity of country music. With country favourites like Garth Brooks Riding High atop the pop music charts displacing such established stars As Michael Jackson Michael Bolton and Prince its no wonder that movie producers and studio executives around town Are scrambling to find country music film projects. In addition to Paramount a recently announced Purchase of Carol Heikkinen a script the thing called love a love Story set in Nashville tenn., producer Jerry Weintraub the karate kid is readying unwound which will Star grammy Winner George Strait. Unwound named after one of Straits big hits will be directed by Chris Cain Young guns from a screenplay by Rex Mcgee and is set to go before the cameras in Early May for Warner Bros. John Davis predator who will produce the thing called love says that country music a time at the movies has finally arrived. A country music has a message that people want to hear right now and i think that a going to translate to the movies a says Davis who describes the thing called love As a Cross Between Nashville and Fame. A i was overwhelmed at the kind of social craze that country music has begun. Its phenomenally there have been other films set in the world of country music. 1980�?Ts Urban Cowboy which starred John Travolta and Debra Winger was a huge hit As was the films sound track album. But honeysuckle Rose which was also released in 1980 and starred Willie Nelson As a country performer was a disaster at the Box office although Nelson was Riding a wave of popularity at the time. A Willie Nelson was popular with people Over 50 when that movie came out a says Davis. A a there a a different kind of demographics now. Look at the stars of country music. Most of them Are Young Guys and Young As for Weintraub a unwound the producer says a the film that i conceived is a pure country at the moment there Are 10 songs written into the script which is the Story of a country superstar a played by Strait a who wants to get Back to his roots. Weintraub says he is not doing this film because of the current popularity of country music. A a in be been working on this with George for Over a year a he says. A a it a not because of the sudden awareness in the music. In be had this idea for a Long but whereas unwound will be a starring vehicle for the Well known Strait Davis says the thing called love will not Star a country performer. A this is not a movie vehicle for Garth Brooks or Clint Black a he says a although i do want to use established artists for some of the music. This movie is about Young people going to Nashville and finding their dreams. Its a real human Story set in an exciting 15, 1992 sunday a Page 9
