DANGEROUS LIAISONS reunion?
the lingering effects of a romance between a middle-aged woman and a wealthy young man. The book is described as being heavy on lust, love and passion, with one of it's central themes being a women's fear of aging, something several interviews with Pfeiffer I saw last year touched upon. LIAISONS is a movie I always felt was a little flat but it's themes were always strong and the acting and direction was impressive. Pfeiffer is enjoying a career renaissance right now and Frears is one of the best directors of adapted material working today. There will be high expectations on this after the success of the last movie the trio worked on, let's hope they can deliver. The movie is setup at Miramax and Pathe, with the same distribution deal that they developed for Frears last movie THE QUEEN. Shooting begins in April say Variety.
