Photograph by Martin Schoeller, via the New Yorker . This is how the New Yorker 's "Man of Extremes: The Return of James Cameron" begins: The director James Cameron is six feet two and fair, with paper-white hair and turbid blue-green eyes. He is a screamer—righteous, withering, aggrieved. “Do you want Paul Verhoeven to finish this motherfucker?” he shouted, an inch from...

Cleverly on my recent cycling expedition to Amsterdam, the guide book failed to leave with me. On my return I was interested to check out some info about the “Delta Projects“. For some reason I decided to check out the authors info, and to my joy one of them had this written about them. “Simon(Sellars) wishes [...]

Halle Berry wants to be good and scared again. Not satisfied with being chased around an insane asylum in “Gothika,” Berry is interested in tangling with a crazed baby mama in “The Surrogate,” the latest from director Paul Verhoeven (”Basic Instinct”). As we reported last week, “The Surrogate” has nothing in common with the [...]

Halle Berry may star in the new Paul Verhoeven film, The Surrogate , or at least that's what Variety is saying today. It would be an interesting choice now, since Berry just had a child last year. The film is not to be confused with Bruce Willis' Suroggates , and is instead a kind of Hand That Rocks the Cradle family thrilla based on the book by Kathryn Mackel: "Kyle and Bethany Dolan reel from...

Paul Verhoeven is coming back to America. The Dutch director, who most recently helmed his native-tongued “Black Book,” has come aboard to develop and direct “The Surrogate,” a thriller for 20th Century Fox..

Hard to believe, but it's been almost 10 years since Paul Verhoeven made his last Hollywood film. Hollow Man may not have been his strongest effort, but I remember it being somewhat unfairly criticized because people thought the effects weren't up to snuff. Either way, since then he has directed only one movie: Black Book, a World War II movie about a Jewish singer trying to survive in Nazi-occupied...

Even if the name Paul Verhoeven is unfamiliar to you, I guarantee you’ve heard of his movies. “RoboCop.” “Starship Troopers.” “Total Recall.” “Basic Instinct.” “Showgirls.” The man absolutely excels at turning apparent trash into something fantastic.

Paul Verhoeven (Basic Instinct, Total Recall, Starship Troopers) returns stateside to develop and direct The Surrogate for 20th Century Fox. This project shouldn’t be confused with Disney’s Bruce Willis sci-fi comic book adaptation Surrogates, although I would expect that Fox might change the title to avoid confusion. The plot can’t be any more different, more of [...]
