The guy is pretty much just raw onscreen charisma, and I wonder if he could have had that bigger career if he had come along fifteen years later or so. Instead, he wrote with the same degree of invention and dedication, and as a result, many of those movies have aged incredibly well, better than a lot of the drive-in fare of the same era.įranco Nero should have been a bigger movie star. When he wrote a script like The Howling or Alligator or Battle Beyond The Stars, he didn”t treat those jobs as garbage. While I love Sayles and the diversity of his output as a writer/director, I admit a certain fondness for his genre work. Today”s delightful news is that John Sayles is going to direct Django Lives with Franco Nero returning to play the title character. Hollywood decided to get me all sorts of presents this month, and they”re just spacing them out so I don”t explode from joy on my actual birthday.
