TWO MORE "MANCHURIAN" STILLS AND ARTICLE
Posted: 2004-07-12 | Source: Webmaster

We have some new production stills from "The Manchurian Candidate". Plus an article from The Guardian with original cast-member and Eleanor Shaw performer, Angela Lansbury and her comments on the Streep-starring remake: "One person who pre sumably won't be queuing up to catch the Jonathan Demme remake of The Manchurian Candidate is Angela Lansbury, who starred in the 1962 original. Speaking to US columnist Liz Smith, the veteran British actor expressed her dismay over the new film - a paranoid thriller which updates the action from Korea to the first Gulf War. "I'm so unhappy," Lansbury said. "I'm so sorry they had to mess with something that was so perfect." In the John Frankenheimer original, Lansbury played the role of a communist plant masquerading as a right-wing American matron. In the remake, which opens in the US on July 30, her role is taken by Meryl Streep. "I have a great admiration for Meryl Streep," admitted Lansbury. "She'll probably be interesting. I just wish she hadn't chosen to do it."
