...true: the gang's all here. O.K., Scorsese had to be dragged kicking and equivocating into the movie; De Niro kept cajoling the director, and Spielberg, whose Amblin Entertainment produced the film, kept encouraging him to try a mainstream thriller. Even during shooting he seemed defensive. "This is only a remake," Scorsese said on the set in Florida, "an extension of the themes in the 1962 original. Look at this scene we're doing: man picks up rock, hits bad guy." But by now, as he fine-tunes Cape Fear for release next week, it is uniquely Scorsese's picture...

From the film's first images -- weird creatures shimmering just below sea level like monsters of the id, De Niro's eyes burning through the screen -- Cape Fear has been Bobbyized and Martyized...
...Whenever Evangelista, 26, dyes her trademark bob -- and that's often -- it's news. The fashion world quivers as her hair goes from dark brown to platinum blond to Technicolor red.

When Bruce Willis flexed his pecs through two Die Hard melodramas and gave voice to the Look Who's Talking hits...
...beat out its beefy competition. So an early start is helpful. This Memorial Day weekend, Hudson Hawk, with Bruce Willis as a reformed thief forced to commit one last heist, will try to shoulder out Backdraft, director Ron Howard's fireman-buddy epic starring Kurt Russell and Robert De Niro. Maybe those two films will duke it out all summer. Or maybe they will cream each other and leave space for late May's gal-buddy movie, Thelma and Louise, with Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis. The success of T&L, or of Soapdish with Sally Field and Whoopi Goldberg...
