White Nights coming back?
When I was recently in Zzyzx on the Mojave Desert at a research center, I found a film crew there. Apparently a remake of "White Nights" is underway. They were just getting started--trucks with equipment, stretch limo, ...all the Hollywood foreplay.
One person I spoke with said that only about 5 minutes might get used from what they shoot here.
White Nights is a 1985 film starring Mikhail Baryshnikov, Gregory Hines, Jerzy Skolimowski, Helen Mirren and Isabella Rossellini. It also contains early-career performances from Marc Sinden and French girlfriend Maryam d'Abo. Directed by Taylor Hackford, it was shot in Finland, England, Scotland, Portugal, and the Soviet Union.
The film is notable both for the dancing of Hines and Baryshnikov and for the Academy Award winning song "Say You, Say Me" by Lionel Richie, as well as "Separate Lives" performed by Phil Collins and Marilyn Martin and written by Stephen Bishop (also nominated).
Taylor Hackford met his future wife, Oscar Award-winning actress Helen Mirren, during the filming of White Nights. As a young woman, Mirren had vowed never to marry, but after 12 years together she and Hackford tied the knot on December 31, 1997 at Ardersier Parish Church near Inverness, Scotland.[1]
