LOL... you know he was prolly sitting behind his desk one sunny afternoon having a cool beverage, Psycho was on TV, his agent was trying to get him to direct some film called Million Dollar Baby, but Van Sant was like-- "WAIT! I got a great idea!"
Keith the Elder Wrote:I just saw the trailer to "The Pink Panther" it looks terrible. Steve Martin seems to be playing the role like he were Updike in the original (and best) "Kolckak: The Night Stalker"
The character Clouseau (spelling?) was a Peter Sellers/Blake Edwards creation. It cannot otherwise be done. It is not a role subject to interpretation like Hamlet or Captain Ahab. Who the heck does Mr. Martin think he is? This knocks him down a few pegs IMO.
I never did care for Steve Martin, but you're right. In 1968 someone else tried to make another movie titled "Inspector Clouseau" (you spelled it right) starring Alan Arkin. It was good, but Sellers MADE that character and I don't think anyone else can come close.

But, being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question. Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya...PUNK!?"
Yah...I just don't see this working coming from Ashton Kuchner's or Leonardo DiCaprio's mouths...

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

But Vin Diesel's... now you're cooking with fire!
