Good Lord, how vile. And I wonder how they are going to somehow create sympathy for these rapist/murderers! I wonder if they will have to make some of the victims black too. It wouldnt surprise me.
How anyone could sit through such a film is beyond me. But then plenty of people go to see the most putrid gore out there now.
I like horror films-but the very notion of this is waaaay beyond the pale of acceptable IMO. I hope the film gets deep sixed or at least is only direct to video. That should protect the loved ones of the victims from at least seeing TV spots or posters, etc, for the thing. :-(
Remember when the black CNA down in Texas hit a white homeless guy? Remember how she "giggled" about hitting a 'white guy' at a party? Well, Stuart Gordon is making this crime into a film now, too. Here's what he says :
"....Suvari plays the panicked driver Brandi, who realizes that if she helps the wounded man, it will ruin her life."
"...the character played by Stephen is a fictional character , a kind of Everyman."
Maybe the film will be better than it sounds. But it sounds as if the emphasis will be on the driver-SHE'LL be the recipient of the script's and hence the audience's sympathy. The victim is reduced to a mere cipher, as if he never really existed-just a "fictional character.
And the racial aspects of the film-Mallard's indifference, GIGGLING about what she'd done, the gang of black "youths" she took to the park to gawk (and jeer?) at the victim-that's all gone. The story apparently is going to be all about the poor, pitiful driver-and she'll be portrayed by a white actress, just to make darn sure the audience doesn't get a chance to speculate at the hidden motives of mallard and her buddies.(The actor playing the "fictional" victim is also white.)
WHY this sympathy in Hollywood for black thugs who inflict torture and death on white victims?????
