Inside Infamous with Sandra Bullock

Monday October 9, 2006
The behind the scenes story of Truman Capote's trip to Kansas to investigate the brutal murder of a family of four unfolds in Infamous, the second Capote film to hit the big screen in two years. The two Capote movies may both focus on a specific period in the author's life, but the approach to the story of Capote's research into the Clutter murders differs dramatically. In this version (equally as entertaining as Capote), Toby Jones transforms into New York social butterfly Capote while Sandra Bullock co-stars as Capote's lifelong friend, novelist Nelle Harper Lee (To Kill a Mockingbird).

    Martin Scorsese pulled off the biggest opening weekend of his career with the crime drama, The Departed. Scorsese's return to the world of violence and gangsters was well received by critics and attracted not just older males but also, according to Variety, females and young adults. Meanwhile the prequel to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre didn't match the $28 million opening weekend posted by the 2003 remake with Jessica Biel, but did manage a decent $18 million in business - good enough for a 2nd place finish.
