Alex Cox

[Jay Herzog]

	While I haven't seen it, I hear Cox's most recent work is a
straight Spanish language melodrama,filmed in Mexico, called "Highway
Patrolman". Next up for Cox: an adaptation of "Fear and Loathing In Las
Vegas" starring Johnny Depp(!) as Hunter S. Thompson. If anyone can do
justice to HST's drug soaked masterpiece, its Cox, though it does seem a
case of miscasting(Ed Harris of Walker would seem a much better choice).
