Senator nabs 'Public Enemy' rights


July 07, 2008 Senator Entertainment has acquired U.S. distribution rights to "Public Enemy No. 1," a two-part biopic about infamous French criminal Jacques Mesrine that stars Vincent Cassel. Mesrine returned from fighting in Algeria in the late '50s to become the "man of a thousand faces," a disguise artist who robbed, kidnapped, murdered and screwed his way around Canada, the U.S. and France during the '60s and '70s until the police gunned him down on the outskirts of Paris in 1979. What is the fascination in 'GoodFellas?' What is the fascination in all these great gangster movies like 'Scarface?' I see this movie as exactly in the same token.
