Release date: August 27, 1999
WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL? Johnny Depp begins his genre triple play with this Rosemary's Baby in space.
THE CAST
JOHNNY DEPP: An 11th Hour Hottest Guy in Sci-Fi and Horror (see issue one), Johnny has appeared in such fantastic films as Edward Scissorhands and Ed Wood, and also stars in the upcoming Sleepy Hollow and Ninth Gate.
CHARLIZE THERON: A graduate from the Gretchen Mol school of acting, Charlize has appeared on a lot of magazine covers but hasn't really done much to deserve them. Her best-known films are Donnie Brasco and Mighty Joe Young.
NICK CASSAVETES: Son of John Cassavettes and Gena Rowlands whose credits include, uh, Attack of the Killer Bimbos and Class of 1999 II: The Substitute.
THE CREW
RAND RAVICH: To our great dismay, the writer/director of Astronaut's Wife's most notable credit is co-scripting Candyman 2: Farewell to the Flesh. Don't say we didn't warn you.
OTHER
The Astronaut's Wife is a New Line production produced by Mark Johnson and Andrew Lazar.
THE PREMISE: Astronaut Johnny Depp returns from space after a strange encounter with an unclassifiable lifeform, and pregnant wife Charlize Theron begins to suspect she's carrying alien offspring.
GOSSIP and USELESS FACTS:
- Has undergone many reshoots, and word is they haven't improved a rather lagging and empty picture -- and that the pretty but vacant Theron is again the weakest link.
