Reversal of Fortune

I heard the news today that Jeremy Irons has been cast as Alfred in the upcoming Superman & Batman. This reminded me of the roll Mr. Irons won the Oscar for in 1990. This movie is based on a book that noted lawyer Alan Dershowitz wrote about the attempted murder trial of Sunny Von Bulow(Glenn Close). Irons plays Clause Von Bulow creepy husband who seems the perfect suspect. Ron Silver plays Dershowitz who takes the case because he believes that Clause didn't get a fair trial the first time around. Close's character is in a coma for most of the film but still narrates the story with a dramatic flare while referencing her own tragic situation. The script was written by Nicholas Kazan and is a classic. If you haven't seen this flick check it out!!
