THE  COMPANY

The thing about Malcolm McDowell is his charisma that permeates without overpowering. Even in the small dollops of screen time afforded him in Robert Altman’s THE COMPANY, he is undoubtedly the star, the fixed point about which the film revolves. And rightly so.

Neve Campbell Joins THE COMPANY

Neve Campbell showed her gutsy side with THE COMPANY. Not only did she take the stage with The Joffrey Ballet of Chicago, she also took on the business side of show biz by being a hands-on co-producer of the film, starting with developing the script, going throught the studio grind, and finding just the right… Read More »
