Why It Crackles

Movie Details

Nicole Kidman (in her coolest role) anchors a gifted cast in this biting, media crucifying Gus Van Zandt-directed satire.

-This was Casey Affleck’s feature film debut. After the film wrapped, he brought director Gus Van Sant a script written by his brother Ben’s friend Matt Damon. It later became Good Will Hunting (1997).

-Meg Ryan was the first choice for the role of Suzanne Stone for 5 million but declined. We think that Nicole Kidman is perfect for this. She was only paid 2 million. So unfair.

-The film is in based on the real-life case of Pamela Smart, who seduced her 15-year old lover into murdering her husband.
