Yesterday's Times has an article on what is sure to be the most entertaining piece in the Whitney Biennial: Francesco Vezzoli's short film Trailer for a Remake of Gore Vidal's 'Caligula'. As the title implies, the piece imagines that there is a remake of the porntastic Caligula, and Vezzoli makes an over-the-top promo short for said remake starring Benicio Del Toro, Helen Mirren and Karen Black — plus toga costumes by Versace. The only indication that the whole thing is a gag comes at the end of the trailer, when Courtney Love appears as Caligula — the only role she was ever really meant to play.
