FROM THE NEWS ARCHIVES OF CINEMA CONFIDENTIAL

Interviews with Christina Applegate & Jean Reno
POSTED ON 04/06/01

In a "Cinema Confidential" first, we have video chats with Christina Applegate and Jean Reno, stars of Hollywood Pictures' "Just Visiting," which opens today in theaters everywhere.

"Just Visiting" is an American retelling of the 1993 French comedy blockbuster "Les Visiteurs". In the film, a French nobleman, Count Thibault of Malfete (JEAN RENO), and his servant André (CHRISTIAN CLAVIER) find themselves in modern-day Chicago - transported from the 12th century due to a wizard's flawed time-travel potion.

Below are links to the video in which you can watch in REAL PLAYER streaming format. Coming this weekend is also video chat with Christian Clavier, who is described as the Adam Sandler or Jim Carrey of France.
