David Mamet in Pictures
(Page 4)
State and Main
In 2000’s State and Main, a big movie production sets up shop in the small town of Waterford, Vermont, bringing with it a large crew, actors with big attitude and a cast of Mamet characters. Alec Baldwin, star of the movie-within-a-movie, The Old Mill, draws attention to the set by indulging in the company of young girls while the diva (played by Sarah Jessica Parker) refuses to complete her contractual obligations with a nude scene. To top things off, that old mill that is supposed to be the center of the film no longer exists, making the job of the screenwriter (Philip Seymour Hoffman) that much more difficult—especially when he gets distracted by the friendly local bookstore owner (Rebecca Pidgeon, again). A workaround to the missing mill is devised—but we won’t give away the clever solution.

Cadillac Records Premiere to Benefit Phoenix House
Every now and then the glitz and glamour of the red carpet gets to be something more than just a flashy excuse for a new outfit or a ride in a limo, allowing the superficial side of moviemaking (pose for the camera!) to become something of substance, something more akin to the reason why a movie is made. With the New York and Los Angeles premieres of Cadillac Records, a period piece centered upon Leonard Chess (played by Adrien Brody) and the lives of the blues and soul artists who were part of his Chess Records label, the red carpet gets to do just that.
