'Domino' Blasted by Bounty Hunter
15 February 2005 (WENN)
Keira Knightley's new movie Domino has been slammed by real-life bounty hunter Domino Harvey for falsely portraying her sexuality in the film. The $57 million drama is inspired by Harvey, who abandoned a lucrative career on the London catwalk to chase some of the world's dangerous criminals for the Celes King Bail Bonds Agency in Los Angeles. But the 33-year-old former British model is furious she has been depicted as a heterosexual when in reality she is a proud lesbian, and has blasted producers New Line Cinema for not giving her the right to approve the script before shooting started. A source says, "Domino sees it as an insult that the producers are selling it as her life story, when they are completely overlooking what she regards as a pretty basic part of her life. She feels they have stolen her life from her and made it into the women that they want her to be rather than the woman she is. She thinks it's ironic that so much of the publicity the film has attracted has been based on it's raunchy sex scenes."
Model-Turned-Bounty Hunter Domino Found Dead in Bath
29 June 2005 (WENN)
Former supermodel-turned-bounty hunter Domino Harvey was found dead in a bathtub in her West Hollywood home on Monday night. She was 35. The daughter of late English actor Laurence Harvey - who starred in the original 1962 The Manchurian Candidate - and model Paulene Stone, was facing a possible life jail sentence over drug charges filed last year. Domino quit modeling 12 years ago to capture fugitives and criminals who had jumped bail. Police Lieutenant Don Mauldin says, "We got a call at 10:30 last night, saying that possibly a person had drowned in a bathtub. A friend or relative had called 911 from the house for paramedics. She was found in the bathtub." Mauldin denied rumors a gun was involved in the demise, saying, "If it was a gunshot wound or a suicide, then we would have sent investigators to the scene - that did not happen." The Los Angeles coroner is set to perform toxicology tests to see if drugs were involved. Domino's life story has recently been the subject of Keira Knightley's new movie Domino, which is scheduled to hit cinema screens in the UK in August, although it may now be delayed to incorporate the former model's death into the storyline.

Harry drooluje, ne mora nista da znaci, ali bi ovo trebalo da je vrsta filma koju kapira:
Wow, time flies... This is the week DOMINO hits, meant to get to this review before FANTASTIC FEST got here, and now that has come and went. Sorry about the tardiness here.
DOMINO is one hell of a film. I first started talking about this film in February of 2003 when I reviewed Richard Kelly's script for DOMINO. It was his script and as such a towering work of genius as usual. It read as a satiric riff on TRUE ROMANCE and Richard had told me that Tony Scott was set to direct it. Whoa! I actually couldn't imagine what that film would be like. With Kelly's script – you had a chaotic mildly Kaufman-esque riff on Tarantino-ism with a macha chick in the center. This was one hell of a ride, but what would Tony do with it. Would he water it down and make a watered down version – or would Tony leap off the bridge for the visceral thrill of the material?
Well, he leapt off the bridge, but he rigged it to blow-up behind him. As you can see from the trailers – DOMINO falls into the realm of stylized filmmaking with the saturated dripping trippy colors and the hyper sharp focus and a degree of being perfectly over-exposed. In fact – everything in the trailers is very near a tripped up image or movement. It wasn't at all the look I thought I'd see with this movie.
But then, I'm not Tony Scott. He took the draft of DOMINO that I read and began to just bring all those elements of satire and craziness and he just went shook it up into something that doesn't fit into the typical cookie-cutter cinema we see today.
The frenetic fever dreamed look and feel of the film is actually integral to the story we're being told. The most lucid and calmly shot sequences of the film focus upon Keira's DOMINO while being interrogated by Lucy Liu's Fed character. It is in this interrogation that we flashback upon the mescaline laced memory of the heavily dosed title character's adventures and life.
We're taken into the memory of a sexy confused girl of privilege that bored with the thrills for sale decides to become a bounty hunter, because that's just so cool. SO – from that stand point, realize that this movie is being told from the mind of a drugged thrill seeker, who deep down wants to be a bad girl treated right. In Tony's hands Keira is, as always, the luminous beauty that we've come to pant after... but she also seems believable in everything she does. When you see her doing her Bruce Lee thing, and playing with knives and a shotgun – and a pair of machineguns... she just looks like one of those girls from the old letter page of FILM THREAT magazine that had punky girls with guns. She's awesome.
She's also trying to find a new family, a place that she belongs and feels natural in, and wouldn't we all like to call Mickey Rourke "Daddy" – I mean, who else would you like to have teach you to kick ass and that would watch your back when you break down the door of a gangbanger's crib? That reminds me. Mickey Rourke. Isn't it just heaven to have him finding his center again as a bad ass on screen? When Edgar Ramirez comes back stung by Domino – to talk with Mickey's character – who's laying in his hotel room watching Porn... What follows is just perfect Mickey Rourke. Know what I'm saying? He's given dialogue that pops. And with that gravelly voice, he adds all the right sizzles. Right now, I think Mickey has found that perfect place in his career. He's found his pace, his rhythm now. When he swaggers on to the screen he has so much just strength of character that I find myself absolutely captivated by his every word and gesture.
He's partnered up with a strapping young badass called Choco played by Edgar Ramirez. This is his first part in an American made film, and he is absolutely awesome. His physicality is fantastic, the way he seems to just throw himself into action and into scenes. He's an amazing performer. His character is just a slow burn – a destructive violent man that has, thanks to Mickey's Ed, found a way to use that penchant for violence in a productive way... as a bounty hunter. He's very very cool. His method of Arm Amputation is perhaps one of the most wonderful scenes of mayhem onscreen. In fact, anytime that Choco is onscreen – you're always a half shake from Edgar doing something very extreme. He always takes the most direct, brutal and cruel fashion to "do the right thing!" This may be our first look at an actor that we'll be admiring for sometime to come.
The charisma between Edgar Ramirez and Keira Knightley is very much palpable onscreen. Keira smolders in this film, and in their, ahem, scene together – you fanboys that own THE JACKET just for those great wonderful love scenes... well we get more of that here. And what can I say, Keira is absolutely lovely. I know she's our sexiest tomboy beanpole, but that comment is almost nearly in this film and ya know... this is definitely the most tomboy she's been, so why is it that she's shedding that tomboy awkwardness in favor of alluring sensuality. It is nice to see that continuing to develop.
If this film's helter skelter visual ferocity was all this film was about, it would be empty. However, you know at the heart of this film is Richard Kelly's script and the style and the visual explosion... well it's all there serving the script and vice versa. Richard's writing married with Tony's visual skill made for a fantastic match. I haven't seen Tony this energized with material in quite some time, and the resulting film is a blast. You see, look at the cast for this... beyond those I've already spoken about there's just an amazing ensemble cast.
Take Christopher Walken's TV producer Mark Heiss... He's fun as hell here. Lucy Liu, she's kinda creepy cool. Jacqueline Bisset – she's got almost zero screentime, but I ached for more and more. Then there's Macy Gray and Mo'Nique who are absolutely hilarious in the film – but also very heartfelt. Then there's Delroy Lindo who can be cool in Austin in August. And perhaps the coolest acting in the whole bleeding film is done by Brian Austin Green and Ian Ziering. I know that saying a couple of 90210ers were the coolest acting in the film, doesn't bode well for many of you, but in playing themselves – they were free to laugh at the image that's hung on both these two since landing on that show. Their moment in the elevator near the end is one of the funniest honest moments on film in a really damn long time.
Then there are, the surprise people that show up through the film. The dialogue from Mars that just absolutely makes everyone in the theater's jaw drop and at one level be offended... and at another level you're laughing because you can't believe you just heard what you just heard. Or saw what you had just seen.
Whether you're going shooting shotguns afterwards or not, this film is fun. At its heart, the film is essentially a Keira Knightley exploitation film. It features her doing a lap dance, doing the naked wild thing in the desert, shooting shotguns, blowing shit up, talking tough and taking names! Now, it doesn't go absolutely wacko like those awesome through the roof rough films of Pam Grier... this is more polished, bigger budgeted, better cast exploitation. This is an old fashioned NEW LINE film, like the ones that made the company, only with a 21st Century polish and I really really dig that. Hopefully you will too!
Domino Harvey >permalink<
Model, bounty hunter
She was the daughter of Laurence Harvey, star of the original "The Manchurian Candidate." She was a former Ford model. Later in life, she was a bounty hunter. And Domino Harvey's life story is the subject of a movie set to be released late in 2005.
Born in Belgravia, Domino was the product of a three-year affair between her father and Vogue model Pauline Stone during his second marriage. After his divorce, Laurence married Pauline shortly before his death from stomach cancer in 1973. Pauline then married Peter Morton, owner of the Hard Rock Café chain, and moved to Hollywood while her daughter attended public school in England.
Domino's rebellious nature caused her to be expelled from four schools. Her natural beauty won her a job with the Ford model agency, but she soon tired of life on the catwalk and hopped nightclubs and sold T-shirts in Kensington Market to pass the time. She soon took acting lessons at the Lee Strasberg drama school.
At 19, Domino moved to Hollywood, running a nightclub, working as a ranch hand (where she became familiar with weaponry) and later as a firefighter in San Diego. She also developed a full-blown heroin addiction, and got caught up in the shadowy world of bounty-hunting for the Celes King Bail Bond Agency, tracking down criminals by any means short of murder for skipping bail while awaiting trial. Posing often as a lost English tourist, Harvey would lure her target away before pressing a gun into their gut.
Despite her success rate, her 10% cut usually translated into 300 dollars a week. When money was short, she would move back home. She eventually checked into a Hawaiian rehab clinic in 1997, weighing only 98 pounds. It was then she sold the rights to her life story.
Despite seemingly successful treatment, Domino was arrested for possession of crystal meth in 2003. As a first offender, she avoided trial by entering a treatment program. Domino was then charged in May, 2005 with with conspiracy to distribute drugs, possession, trafficking, racketeering, crossing state lines for unlawful activity and having property used in or obtained through criminal activity. Harvey faced ten years to life if found guilty. Pending trial, she was ordered to wear an electronic bracelet and be subject to drug and alcohol testing. She had yet to enter a plea on the charges.
The film "Domino" stars Keira Knightley under direction from Tony Scott. The real-life subject of the film made her hatred of the film publicly clear, although those close to her said Harvey was delighted with the movie. The film had a budget of 60 million USD. Harvey was paid 300,000 USD for her rights. Her greatest point of contention was that false reports of her open lesbian nature were treated as a source for soft-porn titillation in the film. New Line Cinema did not give Harvey script approval on the film, which is based on a newspaper article about her life. The film's release was delayed to incorporate Harvey's death into the storyline.
In September 2005, the Los Angeles County coroner has concluded that Harvey died from an overdose of Fentanyl, a painkiller more powerful than morphine. The death was ruled accidental.
June 27, 2005 at age 35. Drug overdose.

...u prvom vikendu DOMINO startovao ochekivano klimavo,u okviru predvidjanja-4,67 mil. USD...shto mu daje velike shanse da se kod nas pojavi pre no shto je to prvobitno bilo planirano...IF EVER! :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
...kritike su ocajne, a zarada prvog vikenda najgora koju Toni Skot pamti...cisto sumnjam da cemo ga videtu u bioskopima nakon ovoga, pravac video...
Fenomenalan film!
Kao TRUE ROMANCE u vizuelnom stilu MAN ON FIRE, a scenaristicki u hladnokrvnom pop kljucu R. Kellyja. Bice nesto od tog momka.
Ako je KKBB bio Shaneov povratak, ne sa brojem 45 vec bogami 23, onda je ovo film za generaciju plejeva koji nose 3.
Pretpostavljam da ga ne vredi cekati u bioskopima jer ide direktno na video...kakav je snimak do kog si dosao?
Pazi ja vise volim pirate od srpskog bioskopa pa nisam merodavan. Snimak koji imam je highly enjoyable bioskop. Sve se vidi, ostro je, sinhrono...
