"I'm not interested in playing the same types of things again and again." Yet one theme has emerged, again and again, in his films: the attraction of two men, one reserved, the other volatile.

...already begun taking meetings. So far she's talked to practically every studio, as well as Robert De Niro and director Michael Bay. Last week she met Ridley Scott, who's scouting a female lead for Hannibal now that Jodie Foster has declined to reprise her Silence of the Lambs role. "I haven't sat with [Martin] Scorsese yet," says Swank, who's angling for a part in his Gangs of New York opposite Leonardo DiCaprio, though she hears Cameron Diaz has an inside track.
