Yes, I've seen Domino. But doesn't the life and death of Anna Loginova seem like it would make for a thrilling yet tragic screenplay? Despite the irony of her death, there seems to be something wonderful about the story, especially because it takes place in Russia. There is sad beauty to it, and from what little I know about her, she seems to embody that concept.
Were it in the US it would seem like a weird symbiosis of capitalism and sexism. And it would likely be fictionalized in ways that would detract from what she represents. I'm all for fictionalizing as long as it strengthens a film, but despite enjoying it, I feel Domino was somewhat trivialized (which is too bad-- it's friggin' Richard Kelly and Tony Scott. )
I would not be surprised if some bigshot in Hollywood were already trying to secure rights for it. I just hope they respect the emblematic pathos that the milieu of the foreign land and its economic and social climates provides.
