Crash: Review

Moment of impact: Thandie Newton and Matt Dillon

A dozen characters in search of connection collide in screenwriter Paul Haggis' ambitious feature-directing debut. Set in Los Angeles over the course of an unseasonably cold 36 hours, this sprawling ensemble drama suggests what Robert Altman's Short Cuts or P.T. Anderson's Magnolia would be if they'd been built around bullet points and discussion topics. That sounds like a criticism, but it isn't: Haggis raises issues of race, economics and class so thorny that most movies swaddle them in layers of distraction. Read the complete review for Crash

A Fall Mystery: Will TV's Crash Be a Smash? | Roush Dispatch | 7/13/2008
It’s one of the more intriguing ideas for the fall season: turning the Oscar-winning movie Crash into a weekly series, which the pay-cable movie network Starz hopes will put them on the map the way Mad Men did for AMC a year ago. (It’s scheduled to premiere Oct. 17.) But don’t go in expecting a sequel. The characters are all new, although as in the movie, they’ll reflect the racial and class tensions of Los Angeles as their lives intersect in unexpected and sometimes random ways.“I didn’t feel the need to go back to that movie and say, OK, what happens on the next day,” says executive producer Glen Mazzara (The Shield), who was hired to reinvent the movie into a series. “I knew instinctually what that movie felt like. … So it really comes out of the emotion that I felt when I watched that film. It really was just a feel of that film I was going for.”A brief clip reel was all that Starz was able to show critics, but the producers... read more
D.B. Sweeney Now on Crash Course | Today's News: Our Take | 6/16/2008
D.B. Sweeney (Jericho, The Cutting Edge), Nick Tarabay (The Sopranos) and Michael Fairman have joined the cast of Crash, the Starz channel's TV adaptation of the Best Picture Oscar winner. Previously, Dennis Hopper was announced to head the ensemble. Sweeney will play Peter Emory, a successful pre-bust real estate developer, Tarabay a police lieutenant having an affair with a fellow officer, and Fairman an overbearing father. — Matt Mitovich read more
Dennis Hopper Joins TV's Crash Spin-off | Today's News: Our Take | 6/6/2008
Dennis Hopper has joined the cast of Crash, the upcoming Starz series based on the Oscar-winning film. Hopper will play Ben, a music producer who's been around the block a few times and is waiting for his Next Big Thing. Hopper joins an ensemble that includes Clare Carey (Jericho), Ross McCall (CSI: NY) and Jocko Sims (CSI).While there are no direct character overlaps with the film, the 13-eppy drama — the first original series for Starz — will explore the same theme of "social tolerance" and examine the notion of the American dream through each character's journey. Will the addition of Dennis make the show an easier ride for you? Or does the small-screen adaptation sound like it'll crash on arrival? — Anna DimondUse our Online Video Guide to see some of Dennis Hopper's many on-screen moments. read more
Miley's New Identity, Teen Gladiators and More | Today's News: Our Take | 1/29/2008
Despite already having two identities, teen phenom Miley Cyrus has legally changed her name, according to ET. The artists formerly known as Miley Cyrus will now be known as Miley Ray Cyrus (sound familiar?).... NBC's American Gladiators is doing so well that it's already set to expand to 90 minutes for two eps. Now, The Hollywood Reporter says, it will be enjoying a companion spin-off in the form of Gladiators 2000, a mid-'90s series featuring teen contestants that was hosted by none other than a young Ryan Seacrest (albeit pre-hair highlights).... Starz has greenlit a TV adaptation of Crash, which will be the network's first original series. The film's director, Paul Haggis, will be back to cowrite and produce, along with Don Cheadle and Bobby Moresco, among others. Let's just hope it fares better than, say, a certain Irish mob drama. — Anna Dimond read more
As the Globes Slowly Spins | Roush Dispatch | 1/16/2007
I sure hope you didn’t skip 24’s literally explosive Night 2—seriously (as Shonda Rhimes would say), how dark is this new season already?—for the Golden Globes Monday night. All the flowing wine seemed to have loosened and thickened nearly everyone’s tongue, resulting in long speeches that combined with a sluggish pace and an epic number of ads to push the show beyond the 11 pm/ET cutoff time. (You know an awards show is badly time-managed when the seriously big winners are forced to hurry through their speeches.)Anyway, to have had a good time, it looks like you really did have to be there this year. And partake of the bubbly.Imagine the collective yawns and groans across the land when that international bummer Babel (this year’s overly contrived Crash) took home the best drama trophy, handed out by Arnold Schwarzenegger on crutches that could have been a symbol for the whole wobbly though star-studded evening.But enough about movies, with this... read more
