...Annie Proulx were dismayed when they heard that the lead character in her award-winning novel The Shipping News would be played in the film version by JOHN TRAVOLTA. Looks as if they had good reason. The movie, which was to be directed by FRED SCHEPISI and to co-star Travolta's wife KELLY PRESTON, has hit stormy water. After two years of preproduction, Columbia and Schepisi were unable to agree on a script. No one's talking, but Schepisi was apparently in favor of the faithful-to-the-book version turned in by LAURA JONES, who has adapted several...
...Laurel and Hardy--think a snappier Saps at Sea--except that the Stan and Ollie here are Tucci and co-star Oliver Platt. Tucci, incapable of a gross moment even in the slapstick, seasick exertions of shipboard burlesque, nicely approximates Laurel's high, piping whine as counterpoint to Platt's unctuous exasperation. They are two actors stowed away on a '40s-ish ocean liner, ever scurrying from a British stage star who wants them arrested, gelded, dead.

Hip-hop mogul Sean ("Puffy") Combs is preparing to co-star in a movie with Al Pacino and planning to launch a line of urbanwear in 1999. Beastie Boys has a record label, a magazine and a clothing line. Rapper Master P is set to co-star as a computer specialist in Takedown, a movie from Miramax's Dimension Films...
...speaking of her admiration for her Stella co-star Whoopi Goldberg, who was kind to Bassett years ago. "You could see the warmth coming from the heart and straight out the eyes," she recalls. "But I've had the other happen too. Not mean, exactly, but, 'Hi, how're you doing?'" Instantly, the room temperature drops to arctic levels as Bassett pretends to stare a hole through someone talking to her. "Then, after I became known, it was, 'Oh, I love you.'" And she swoops down from the chair, practically to her knees, in a deft satire of sycophancy. Drama...
