BEAN THUMBS KILLER ROLE IN NEW "Hitcher"
By Borys Kit
Sean Bean is thumbing his way to "The Hitcher," Rogue Pictures' remake of the 1986 horror film being produced by Platinum Dunes. Sophia Bush also is on board the film, which is being directed by veteran music video helmer Dave Meyers. The script follows a young couple driving across the country who become prey for a serial killer, who blames all of his murders on the young man. Eric Bernt wrote the current draft. Bean will carve out the serial killer role made famous by Rutger Hauer in the original. Bush (WB Network's "One Tree Hill") has been cast as the young woman; casting is imminent on the young man. Producing are Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller as well as Charles Meeker and Alfred Haber. Production is scheduled to start this month in Austin and Santa Fe, N.M. Bean, repped by CAA and ICM London, is shooting "The Outlaw," directed by Nick Love. The series of historical telepics produced in the 1990s that featured Bean in the star-making role of British army Lt. Richard Sharpe recently aired for the first time in the U.S. on BBC America. He is best known here for his appearances in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy as well as recent features "Flightplan" and "North Country."

New Zogby Poll States 38% Would Back Clnton in NY Senate Race and 32% Would Back "Unnamed Anti-War Candidate" [ie: ahem, that would be Jonathan Tasini]
[DUCHESS NOTE - Why anyone in their right mind would vote for a pro-war, republican-lite Clinton cow is beyond me. From what I've seen and read of her track record, it doesn't really reflect the issues or values of Liberal or Progressive Democrats. Not even close and yet people will vote for her cause she's a Clinton. We, of the state of New York, should vote in the primaries (September 12th) for a Democrat candidate that truly reflects our concerns and values. Plus; who is anti-war, pro-peace, healthcare and education. And that person is Jonathan Tasini, not that republican-lite cow.]

[DUCHESS NOTE - It sickens me to read that the Democratic Party will nominate this cow who is soooo pro-war. BARF! What we need to do as Americans is nominate and elect NEW Democrats into the House & Senate, as well as at state level. We need to get rid of most of the old, worn out Democrats cause they aren't doing squat for us. Nada! Zip! Zilch! Oh, and while we're at it, we need to impeach ALL of the buggers in the Bush Regime. Thats right, every single one of the demented buggers.]
