Harry here... I like Julia Stiles, Moriarty does not. Ya know, Julia is so much more than the stupid teen fop flicks that ya see from time to time. I met her when she was 16 at Sundance on January 17th, 1998 at the premiere of Michael Steinberg's WICKED, a film I was very very fond of, till the music rights issues and producers and film owners stepped in allegedly and messed it all up a bit... But after the screening I talked with her and found that she was at Sundance for two reasons... First for the film WICKED, which I really dug her in, but also she was a part of the Sundance Screenwriting Fellowship... apparently her script did really well there. She was extremely young, but wanted to do challenging work... So why all the pop teen fop? The Bills... What I still love about her is that while she'll do that junk, she'll make the indies which provide the more challenging and provocative work like THE BUSINESS OF STRANGERS, which frankly looks quite good from this trailer.... and we had strong reviews of the film for the better part of the year as it has traveled the festival circuit. But heck... check it out for yourself... Stockard Channing looks and sounds great in this...
