Anna Nicole Smith's Final Film To Be Released April 24, 2007 8:49 a.m. EST Joshua Chase - AHN Staff Writer Los Angeles, CA (AHN) - Anna Nicole Smith's final movie will be released May 1 on DVD. The release comes three month's after the actress' death. In "Illegal Aliens," a reportedly low-budget feature, Smith plays one of three aliens protecting Earth. The action-movie spoof has Smith playing Lucy, Lenise Soren playing Cameron and Gladise Jimenez playing Drew (all characters were named after the stars of "Charlie's Angels": Lucy Liu, Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore). Smith also produced the movie. Her son, Daniel, was its associate producer. The two were some of the film's biggest investors, according to the Associated Press. It cost under $3 million to make. The movie's release date was pushed back after Daniel Smith's death and screenings were later canceled when Anna Nicole died. "My intention was to distance the movie as much as possible from her death so people could laugh," director David Giancola told the AP. "That was her intention. That was Daniel's intention. To get people to laugh. Some people are making the wrong assumption that we are trying to capitalize off her death. But she and Daniel were investors in the movie, and we're basically just fulfilling hers and Daniel's wishes." |
