After The Secret in Their Eyes<\/i> won Argentina and director\u00a0Juan Jos\u00e9 Campanella the 2009 Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, an American remake emerged with primo screenwriter and director Billy Ray attached. Dropping the The<\/i> faster than a gritty reboot, the American\u00a0Secret In Their Eyes<\/i> not only drew top stars but, in adaptation, turned the original\u2019s reflection on military rule into a post-9\/11 set thriller of institutional corruption. With an awards friendly cast of headliners of Chiwetel Ejiofor, Nicole Kidman, and And-credit Julia Roberts, the film\u2019s grim but tepid examination of morals deflated by the search for justice met an indifferent critical response after skipping the fall festival season.<\/p>\n
This episode, we talk about Billy Ray\u2019s work as a franchise screenwriter and trio of directorial efforts, including his sensational, underrated debut Shattered Glass<\/i>. We also talk about the original\u2019s Oscar win over early season Cannes-certified films The White Ribbon<\/i> and A Prophet<\/i>, the headliner\u2019s television misfires, and actor Joe Cole\u2019s dual villain roles as A Nose and Marshall Mathers.<\/p>\n
Topics also include Laura Linney in an upcoming\u00a0\u201cCatholic 80 for Brady<\/i>,\u201d the strong run of recent International Feature winners, and Julia Roberts\u2019 bangs.<\/p>\n
