Kate Beckinsale’s wardrobe and hair style look put together by some 6 year old. Matthew McConaughey punches a hole in a hospital wall. John Langley, the creator behind the show Cops, produced it. It’s bad like The Room is bad, but apparently a lot of the weirdness/abrupt tonal shifts are due to an hour being edited out of the original cut by the studio. The original cut is out there, apparently Nicolas Winding Refn has a copy of it because he was a fan. It’s nuts and gave my day some much needed levity. Check it out. Trailer

You'd think I would have heard about this. It seemed so fake by your description, but I guess it really does exist. Thanks for sharing comrade.

When funding came from the unlikeliest of places, Bright jumped on it. “My stepfather – a guy my mother was married to for like a year – had this neighbour, John Langley, who did this show ‘Cops’,” he says. “He said, ‘I’d be interested’ and they got the script and said, ‘hey, we want to make this movie’, him and his wife.”
Blame Kate Beckinsale’s lucky hat. When the British actress signed on for 2003’s ‘Tiptoes’, written and directed by cult filmmaker Matthew Bright, she agreed to do it for SAG minimum wage – with one condition. She wanted her character to wear the star’s own lucky hat.
“I said, ‘sure, I promise you can wear it,’” Bright tells Yahoo Movies now. At the time, he didn’t know that the hat would get him fired from the film.
“The first day I shoot, [Beckinsale] wears her lucky hat and this guy Langley’s wife comes in…she says to me, ‘I don’t like that hat’,” he recalls. “I said it can’t come off, Kate Beckinsale offered to do the movie and instead of charging millions of dollars, she’s doing SAG minimum and the only thing she asked was, ‘can I wear my lucky hat.’”
Bright says his refusal to rectify his producer’s objections led to them pulling support from him and his crew during production.
“I put [my cast and crew] through hell,’ says the director. “I told them it was going to be this wonderful production and instead there were these [people] running around screaming at people and making young assistants weep. It was just horrible.”
Yahoo reached out to the Langleys for this story, but they declined to comment.
His behaviour at the movie’s Sundance premiere probably didn’t help. Having been invited on-stage to talk up the film, he instead launched into a scathing attack on the Langleys for their interference and slammed the finished product.
Certainly he believes it damaged his standing in the industry – he hasn’t directed a movie since.
Absolutely. I also remember that hat, which looks a lot like a night cap. I’m glad she decided to forego millions of dollars so that she could wear it in the movie and piss off the Cop guy’s wife.
I never saw it but from seeing the trailer how can you diss Kate's wardrobe? It reminds me of other shows that made me feel funny when I was a kid who was too young to process BDSM.
Haha I mean no disrespect, but it’s all over the place during the movie. Maybe style really was like how it is in an Avril Lavigne music video in the early 2000s and I’m forgetting. But at the end of the day everyone had their own way of processing 9/11.
