That's some interesting film stock. Is he under a flashing neon sign? Was there nuclear testing in a nearby canal? Did Tilda Swinton get out alive? God, I hope so. Anyway, Jude's in Venice with the rest of the cinema-types and selling his new flick "Sleuth". It co-stars his "hero" Michael Caine. Jude re-made Caine's seminal flick "Alfie" and it was a disaster. Probably because Sienna was banging half the crew and nobody cared how good the film was when she was pole dancing after shooting every night. She's limber. Jude's a little self-deprecating over "Alfie".
Jude Law admits his 2004 version of 1966 classic Alfie was a box office disaster. Now he is taking on another Caine role - in an update of 1972 thriller Sleuth. Sir Michael, 74, appears in a supporting role. The pair were promoting the film yesterday at the Venice film festival. Jude, 37, revealed: "He's my hero."Maybe these films wouldn't suck if they actually wrote a new script and TRIED to have some new ideas. Why re-make everything? Jude, go search some scripts so you don't have to throw yourself a pity party at every film festival. Seriously. Do you know how torn I am over the "Halloween" re-make? Damn you, Hollywood! I could resist "Wonka" but not this!
