Kyle MacLachlan on Showgirls: 'I Went Into That Film With the Best of Intentions...'

via Kyle MacLachlan Thought ‘Showgirls’ Would Be A ‘Hard-Hitting’ Drama – Starpulse.com.

He tells Britain’s Metro newspaper, “I went into that film with the best of intentions. (Director) Paul Verhoeven and (writer) Joe Eszterhas were at the top of their game and I trusted they’d deliver something that would be controversial and hard-hitting. It turned into something completely different…”

“Only when it was assembled and I saw it for the first time, I thought, ‘Oh boy, this isn’t going to be pretty.’ Everyone has their Showgirls. We remember the great films actors have been in and the rest get forgotten. But occasionally, people like to revisit the ones that get swept aside.”
