Рипли, которой не было или как Вероника Картрайт попала в фильм непонятной категории и что из этого вышло

«Каково это — когда хвост оказывается между ног?» — вопрос, который однажды задали Веронике Картрайт. Актриса приехала на съёмки «Чужого» играть Рипли, а получила Ламберт — «вечно ноющую» и обречённую. Как Хичкок учил её готовить стейк, зачем Ридли Скотт заставил бить Уивер по лицу и почему смерть Ламберт снимали… без самой Ламберт? Вся закулисная драма, брызги крови и один очень неловкий хвост — в этой заметке. Читать далее Read more
