Not strictly movies, but close enough for me. I’m a big fan of CSI, the original more than Miami, and NY is growing as I watch it, but nothing beats that first team. Especially for me Grissom, the character played by William L. Petersen who I first saw in Manhunter playing much the same character. A very inward man, and a very good performance.
So the latest CSI season finale is to be directed by none other than Quentin Tarantino. He’s done mainstream TV before with ER, and is supposedly a big fan of CSI. From The Holywood Reporter through Coming Soon:
Tarantino has long been a fan of the stylish forensic drama as series creator/executive producer Anthony Zuiker learned when he bumped into Tarantino at an awards show during “CSI’s” first season. “He knows everything there is to know about ‘CSI,’ and he is into the whole mythology of ‘CSI,'” Mendelsohn said. Zuiker, in particular, “worships Quentin,” she added.
Mendelsohn said the story will involve a plot that finds one of the key members of the CSI team, led by Gil Grissom (William Petersen), in serious jeopardy. The teleplay will be written by Mendelsohn, Zuiker and Naren Shankar.
May 19th seems to be the date to watch out for.
