Irish Eye on Hollywood: Brosnan in Polanski's 'Ghost Writer'

On to TV news. When the Denis Leary drama Rescue Me begins season number six next year, expect to see more of Irish-American actress Maura Tierney, who recently underwent surgery for breast cancer. Tierney had played the wild love interest of Tommy Gavin, the equally wild Irish-American firefighter played by Leary.

“We are just about finished writing the entire sixth season . . . and then there are nine more” episodes for Season 7, Rescue Me executive producer Peter Tolan told People magazine. “So we know we’re going to bring back Maura Tierney, because we loved her and she loved us, which is even more fulfilling.”

Finally in DVD news, a funny thing happened to John Huston’s poetic final film The Dead on the way to its DVD release. Following the initial release of this beautiful 1987 film, based on the classic short story by James Joyce, a production error clipped ten minutes from the running time. That error has now been corrected, and the running time restored to 83 minutes. Lions Gate has even offered to replace the faulty, 73-minute versions of the DVD. If you purchased the wrong version and need more details, e-mail lionsgatecs@orderassistance.com or call (800) 650-7099.
