Steve Buscemi and Sienna Miller

Thursday, July 12, 2007

Dutch director Theo Van Gogh was murdered in 2004 by a religious extremist. Now Steve Buscemi has paid tribute to the fallen filmmaker by remaking one of Van Gogh's films, "Interview." Leonard talks to Buscemi and one of the film's stars, Sienna Miller.

Weigh in: Have you seen Van Gogh's films? Do you like the idea of paying tribute by remaking his movies?

    Dear Mr. Lopate

    Yes, I think this is a good idea, especially in the talented hands of someone like Mr. Buschemi. I'm sure the majority of directors would not have the courage to take on a Van Gogh film.

    I like some of Van Gogh's films, particularly "Blind Date (1996). Unfortunately, too many people think of "the man" (Theo Van Gogh)and his unpopular comments, political positions and views on life which makes his work a lightning rod for negative commentary.

    I wish Mr. Buschemi and Ms. Miller the best of luck moving forward with "Intereview". I saw the trailer on line and it looks great!

"um aaaa yeah ,fascinating She's Incrediable" Miller, " oh aaaa yeah he's fantastic. when I do this its very difficult" Lenny "BraVE BRAVE BRAVE"
