...director of "Two Lane Blacktop" and "Cockfighter" really began his strange career making a pair of westerns with Jack Nicholson (after directing some Corman horror and a couple of Phillipine quickies, also with Jack Nicholson). He'll be back in the western genre with "Desperadoes":

Hellman is truly a one of a kind film maker and a rare director indeed in these times. It's great to see him working on a new project with a little weight behind it. He is a sage and an auteur. If you haven't seen Blacktop or Cokcfighetr yet, take a look at them. Existential angst never played so well.
