Shortcut to Happiness
Shortcut to Happiness, the Alec Baldwin- directed film that was previously known as The Devil and Daniel Webster, is finally opening in U.S. theatres on 7.13 after a delay of approximately six years. I wrote about it last October, but Shortcut may have endured the longest post-production, delayed-release period in the history of motion picture distribution, which easily qualifies it as one of biggest train wrecks of all time.
New York or L.A. critics looking to see and review it for history's sake are facing a problem though. A publicist working for the Yari Film Group, the film's distributor, told me this morning that neither screenings nor theatrical bookings are scheduled for LA, NY or New Jersey. She said it will open on 7.13 in only six cities -- Las Vegas, Rochester, Ft. Meyers, Columbus (Ohio), Alberquerque and Santa Fe. The publicist graciously offered to send me a DVD screener.
Baldwin directed, produced and costarred along with Anthony Hopkins and Jennifer Love Hewitt. The plot -- an ambitious young Manhattan guy sells his soul to the devil in exchange for worldly success, and then hires an esteemed old-school lawyer to get him out of the contract -- is a late '90s rehash of Stephen Vincent Benet's story and Archibald Macleish's play.
Baldwin had his directing and producing credits taken off eons ago because his edit of the film (allegedly a dramatic ensemble piece with "dramedy" undertones) was taken away by the producers and recut into a comedy.
Yari Flm Group has decided against giving director credit to "Alan Smithee", the fake industry pseudonymn that turns up on IMDB listings 28 times. Instead, the "directed by" credit has been given to the non-existent Harry Kirkpatrick, according to the YFG publicist.
Last October I called Shortcut to Happiness (then known as TDADW) is "a pre-9.11 nostalgia movie....look at the stills of Baldwin as he appeared while directing the film and compare them to how he looks today -- he was a kid! Hopkins hadn't made Hannibal, Red Dragon or The Human Stain when TDADW was shot, and Hewitt's feature film career hadn't yet gone into the crapper."

Baldwin looks forty lbs thinner in that shot.
He and Travolta should do a sumo-wrestling sitcom.

Let's also brace ourselves for the incendiary release of Baldwin's voice mails to Yari.

Let's don't--but claim, later, that we did.

what's higher - the film's budget or the lawyer bills?

Somebody said it earlier about Mandy Moore, so I'll say it now about JLHewitt - if she's got a nude scene (or even topless), I'm there. It would really be a win/win in this case - nude scene plus retroactive to when she was REALLY hot. Six years, though...makes "Lucky You" look like it was rushed into theatres in comparison.

Is that the Flea Market Montgomery guy behind Baldwin?

They were stupid to shelve this so long... if it sucks, just put Jennifer Love Hewitt on the poster in something slutty and they would have had a half-decent opening weekend... or at least better than they'll get now.

Did Alec Baldwin do a reverse hunger strike until the film was released?

Jennifer Love Hewitt has gotten to work with Alec Baldwin, Anthony Hopkins, Kelsey Grammar, Jason Alexander, and Gene Hackman. Man, that's depressing. I'm sure they all enjoyed her company, though.

Hewitt stars in a successful TV series. It's not like she's doing dinner theatre in Altoona.

Although it is not brand name,wholesale lingerie can be very sexy. Most companies offer a variety of lingerie including bridal lingerie, chemise, thongs, bras, garters, corsets, panties, and others. Wholesale lingerie companies generally provide products for resale businesses. Some companies will not sell to you unless you give them proof that you have a business.
