The screenwriter of Basic Instinct and Flashdance talks about his feud with Gibson and other fights in his Hollywood career
At 68 years old, a survivor of throat cancer, and with only one produced screenplay to his name since 1997, Joe Eszterhas has done the unthinkable: he's become a scriptwriting teacher. Well, not exactly – he's on his way to London to deliver a headlining lecture at the London screenwriters' festival – but anyone who has even the smallest familiarity with his books will know the contempt in which he holds teach-yourself-screenplay-writing gurus such as Robert McKee.
"Wannabe screenwriters sorely lack getting the truth from these so-called scriptwriting teachers," says Eszterhas, his post-cancer voice gravellier than ever. "McKee is the perfect example: he's had one TV movie made, and yet he pontificates on how to write scripts." He also has beef (one that's been going for decades, it seems) with other big-name scriptwriters, accusing...

The setup is a simple one: Palmer's Officer Jane finds herself alone against crime boss Holland (William MacDonald, whose eyes are as cold and dead as a shark's) and his cronies when they come looking for Cordero. Jane and Cordero get in just enough conversation time before the baddies arrive for her to suspect that the charismatic jewel thief may not be guilty of every charge against him, but she's a by-the-book cop and has every intention of making sure he sees a judge. Lapeyre's script makes smart choices from the get-go, doling out just enough backstory for the two leads to keep us interested, and also makes it clear that the point of the story won't necessarily be about any major plot twist, since we can pretty well predict who's who and why they did it. The real surprises, and no I won't spoil them in any detail here,...
