TITLE CHANGE - From "Erasure" To "United States"
Recall my post early last week on Angela Bassett's next gig - her first attempt behind the camera in the director's chair... an adaptation of a novel titled Erasure... refresh your memory HERE.
Well, the celluloid version (which will be co-produced by her husband, Courtney B Vance in the pic above) will have a different title entirely... it'll be called United States!
Ho-hum... I liked Erasure better.
Maybe Angie was concerned that audiences may mistake the original title for the 80s English pop duo, Erasure. Remember them?
If you don't, here's a reminder (Ha-ha!):

I don't know how I missed your posting on this the first time. I'm so excited for her directorial debut! I would love for her to go Clint Eastwood on Hollywood and cast herself in her own movies.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's hope it's good.
Erasure is terrific, a book near and dear to my heart.
Very intrigued that Bassett/Vance want to take it on. Hope they get it right.
Also, I highly recommend Everett's novel Glyph, just as brilliant, dazzling and hilarious as Erasure.
