Elton Brand Goes From the Hardwood to Hollywood

Ebenezer Samuel of the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS writes, "Brand's publicist once hoped he'd cruise the talk-show circuit. But Brand isn't in midtown to dish on the Clippers' draft strategy, the secret of the pick-and-roll or the saga of Kobe Bryant and that other L.A. team. Brand wants to talk showbiz. He wants to discuss 'Rescue Dawn,' his new Vietnam War flick. The film, starring Christian Bale, opens in select theaters on Wednesday. Before 'Rescue Dawn' became a feature film, Brand first saw it as the documentary 'Little Dieter Needs to Fly.' 'They wanted to do a feature film,' he says. "Werner Herzog was attached to the project - I did some research on him, and he's a great director. And they already had Christian Bale."
