[I rang the alarm bell about this some time ago, but she is still at it,
apparently.  My suggestion for the rest of the cast: Tom Cruise as Don
Jose, dubbed with the help of an E-Meter, and Anthony Hopkins (who is
popping up in *everything* these days) as an attractively mature Escamillo,
to be dubbed by Denis Sedov.]

   "I'm developing... an adaptation of the original opera 'Carmen' for
   the big screen... That's always what I wanted, something like 'The
   Rose' or 'The Bodyguard,' those kind of movies."

 a Hip Hop version of Carmen.  -Dave]
