Monday, June 07, 2004 From The New York Times regarding 'Stepford Wives' and the Art of the Last-Minute Movie Save: Leaving her options open is something Ms. Lansing has been known for ever since she produced "Fatal Attraction" and shot a new ending after test audiences expressed a craving for revenge. When the first, three-hour cut of "The First Wives Club" played poorly, new scenes were written and shot and a voice-over narration by Diane Keaton added. The movie grossed more than $100 million, cementing Ms. Lansing's reputation as a savvy purveyor of mainstream "zeitgeist" movies for women. Pardon me while I go scream into my pillow. Go read Backlash if you don't understand why. | permalink blog • archives • photos • about • contact This work is licensed under a Creative Commons License. All content © 2004.
