REMADE Sunday, December 4 and Monday, December 5, 2005. What better place to screen Manhattan-set The Producers and King Kong than N.Y.C.?
NEW FACES While previous flick stars Jessica Lange and Gene Wilder didn't attend the 2005 versions, the new crop of famous faces did. Producers's Matthew Broderick reunited with co-stars Uma Thurman and Roger Bart, who is best known for his role as George, the creepy pharmacist on Desperate Housewives. "Both roles had perks," Bart says. "Here I got to be very flamboyant, and on Housewives, I played a square with a terrible edge." Speaking of edge, in town to promote Manhattan's destructive gorilla, were Kong stars Naomi Watts and Jack Black, along with fan Lindsay Lohan.
