...ZHANG ZIYI CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON Last May, at a Cannes Film Festival dinner for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," Zhang Ziyi was surrounded by glamorous colleagues - costar Michelle Yeoh, director Ang Lee - who had lived in the spotlight for ages. Yet in her delicate gown, the 20-year-old stood out like a princess, chatting with animated poise, at ease in her radiance. Her performance as Jen, a willful girl who upends the lives of Yeoh and Chow Yun Fat, and possesses such magic that she literally sails over rooftops and treetops, had put her instantly on the worldwide celebrity...
...Guest, 52, is the director, cowriter and costar of "Best in Show," third in a series of "mockumentaries" (a term he thinks is deplorably glib) that he has made about people who are losing but smiling because they love the game. In this case their eyes are fixed on the top prize in the Mayflower Dog Show. You wouldn't call them a statistically accurate cross section of American life. How many of us, after all, are literally born with two left feet, as is cowriter Eugene Levy's character, co-owner of a cool little Norwich terrier...
...Bringing Out the Dead owes a lot to New York City, its silent costar, but there's another central contender as well--the hospital dubbed Our Lady of Misery. There's a column of bullying power in the black police officer who, like Saint Peter, mans the entrance to the clinic, deciding who is admitted and who is not. But through the steely gates is not paradise, for this overcrowded, understaffed clinic has patients writhing and screaming within every cinematic inch. In this fluorescent-lighted madhouse, the sterile, linoleum-- tiled hospital reflects the emotional tone of the nurses and doctors...
...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 costar 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 books...
...because Rogers "just didn't have the heart to put him in the ground." (Bullet received no such honor.) And to this day they eat at the restaurant chain that bears his name. Why did Roy Rogers endure? Probably because he always stayed clean. He married frequent costar Dale Evans in 1947, weathered the tragic loss of children in private, spoke at some of Billy Graham's revivals. He was lifelong friends with rival Gene Autry after supplanting him at Republic Pictures. Now that Roy Rogers has ridden into the sunset, it's easy to figure...
