And in a wonderful salute to Louise Brooks' definitive Lulu in G.W. Pabst's classic 1928 silent German film, Pandora's Box, Rubinoff and Parker sport shiny Dutch-boy wigs."

anonymous. "Hollywood Briefs." Hollywood Reporter, September 19, 1991. (United States)
--- "Impromptu screenwriter Sarah Kernochan has given Julia Roberts her script about former screen personality and cult figure Louise Brooks. According to Kernochan, who won an Oscar for the documentary Marjoe, Roberts' Pretty Woman producers Arnon Milchan and Steven Reuther brought Kernochan the project and paid her big bucks to write it after Roberts read Barry Paris' bio of Brooks and decided she wanted to play Brooks. But Roberts, Kernochan said, has been too busy to read the script because 'she's in love.' Roberts had better start turning pages because a rival project -- with Kathleen Tynan's screenplay based on her late husband Kenneth's celebrated New Yorker profile of Brooks -- is already being passed around to directors. Shirley MacLaine, a good friend of Tynan's, will star as an older Brooks being courted in retirement and looking back -- if producer David Picker can find his director before Roberts finds time to read."

His Spoleto Lulu, a work for which he would seem ideal, spurred him to go to G. W. Pabst's Pandora's Box (a 1929 movie version of the play with Louise Brooks) for a theatrical framework. 'Suggesting the atmosphere gets you there the way nothing else does,' he says. 'One bedeviling problem is that designers often have a hard time letting you do the simple, direct thing'."

Men and women alike slip on her, sliding into such a netherworld of addictive desire that they die for her without even being asked to. A potent metaphor for obsession, she seems utterly modern in her newest incarnation, Lulu Noire, a jazz opera that just finished brief runs at the Spoleto Festival USA in Charleston, S.C., and at the American Music Theater Festival here. . . . and the simultaneous clips from Pandora's Box."

In preparation for my role in Emphysema, I've watched quite a few Louise Brooks videos. Pandora's Box was the quintessential film that made her a star in the 1970s. When it came out in the 1920s, it was panned in the U.S. primarily because her acting was modern and realistic, which was unusual in that day."

It reveals itself to be a rock-and-roll meditation on the Gnostic spirit of Martha and the Vandellas, weighing the salvation held out by Dancing in the Street against the damnation unveiled by Nowhere to Run, together with a secret silent film in which Basil is transformed into a onewoman army of the night: not merely a hippie Theda Bara, but Conner's Musidora, his Falconetti, his Louise Brooks."

--- "NEVE CAMPBELL AS LOUISE BROOKS Neve Campbell plans to portray Louise Brooks, the bob-haired beauty who emerged from George White's Scandals and the Ziegfeld Follies and escaped flapper roles in Hollywood to achieve acclaim in Germany in G. W. Pabst films like Pandora's Box and Diary of a Lost Girl (both 1929) before becoming a recluse. Ms. Campbell has bought Lulu, a biographical screenplay by Peter Nickowitz and Bill Oliver, titled after the nymphomaniac portrayed by Brooks (1906-1985) in Pandora's Box. Ms. Campbell is looking for a director and for financing, according to a Reuters-Hollywood Reporter report."
