Film Adaptations
In 1986, it was adapted as the film About Last Night... with Demi Moore playing opposite Rob Lowe, and James Belushi paired with Elizabeth Perkins. The title change resulted from many newspapers refusing to advertise a movie with the original title. Mamet disavowed the movie, ruefully recalling that "as a callow youth with hay sticking out of my ears, I sold both the play and the screenplay for about $12 and a mess of porridge...."
In 2012 it was announced that Steve Pink was in talks to direct a film adaptation of the play and a remake of the 1986 film. The movie will star Kevin Hart, Michael Ealy, Regina Hall, and Joy Bryant, and has a projected release date of February 14, 2014.

Famous quotes containing the word film:
“Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls.”
