...going for her: her last film, "Romeo Must Die" was a box office hit; she had recently completed work on "The Queen of The Damned," a horror film based on the book by Anne Rice. She was also set to co-star in two upcoming sequels to the sci-fi film "The Matrix...

Single - and a real ladies? man, by his own recollection - cynical, bitter and biting, Heston strides on to the "world turned upside down" already knowing that everyone he ever knew was dead, and he?s not shedding any tears. He?s searching ("Somewhere in the universe there must be something better than man") and much of the film?s power is derived from the fact that from the beginning, Taylor is on this crazy mixed...
