BATGUY

BY TERRI MINSKY

"Man, I'm dying out here," Michael Keaton con-

fessed to a colleague a few years ago, when his film

career was mired in a hideous slump. But his super-

charged performances in two 1988 films, Beetlejuice

and Clean and Sober, turned things around. And de-

spite the protests of die-hard Bat-fans, Keaton's title

role in Batman should secure his superstar status.

"The mistake I made before was thinking I always

had to be a likable guy onscreen," explains Keaton.

"Then I realized you see something that scares you-

that's what you go for." Plus Howard Wornom on

the changing image of the Caped Crusader, "a weird

menace to all crime."

'ERIK THE VIKING'

BY CYNDI STIVERS

How do you show a 40-foot Viking boat nearing the

Edge of the World? If you're Monty Python alumnus

Terry Jones, you commandeer a huge water tank left

over from Raise the Titanic! You also fog in an entire

harbor and splash gallons of raw sewage over your ac-

tors but hey, nobody's perfect.

GOING FOR THE GOLD

BY JERRY LAZAR

She was the ditzy damsel in Indiana Jones and the Temple

of Doom and, ah... well, most people haven't seen Kate

Capshaw in that many movies. But that could change

next month, when she plays a femme fatale in Black

Rain. As she says, "Jessica Rabbit, eat your heart out!"

IMAGINING MOVIES

BY SCOTT BUSBY

Storyboard artists-or "wrists," as they've been

known in Hollywood-are the first to create images

from the written words of a script. Their work, shown

in detail on these pages, is starting to get attention in

its own right.

WHO'S THAT GUY WITH THE

GHOSTBUSTERS?

With the overwhelming success of Ghostbusters and

Twins-and with Ghostbusters II on way-director

Ivan Reitman has become Hollywood's high-concept.

comedy czar. "They didn't bring The Last Emperor to

Ivan," explains Harold Ramis, "and if they did, it

would have taken 102 minutes, and it would have had

a big chase at the end."

POETRY MAN

BY NANCY GRIFFIN

Director Peter Weir brings his subtle blend of visual

mystery and storytelling power to this summer's most

atypical release: Dead Poets Society, starring Robin Wil-

liams as a charismatic prep-school teacher. Says Wil-

liams, "You kind of get a clue that something is work-

ing when you see Teamsters crying."
