Caveat emperor

by Cynthia Dickison

A "trailer" on YouTube featuring Benicio Del Toro, Milla Jovovich, Gerard Butler, Courtney Love and even original star Helen Mirren seems to imply that a remake of Gore Vidal's 1979 randy romp "Caligula" is in the works. But don't get all hot and bothered: It's a spoof put together by artist Francesco Vezzoli for the Venice Biennale art exhibition. He even got Vidal himself to make a cameo appearance (fortunately, in one of the tamer sequences).
