Windshield Murder Case Basis for Movie  "LOS ANGELES, CA (WBAP) - The infamous 2001 windshield murder case out of Fort Worth has been turned into a feature-length movie called, Stuck. The 2001 Chante Mallard windshield murder case is the inspiration for a new movie which is expected to be released sometime next year. Stuart Gordon, of "Re-Animator" fame, directs the film which stars Mena Suvari as the Chante Mallard character and Stephen Rea representing the victim, Gregory Biggs. "I was reading about it in the newspapers and I just couldn't believe what I was reading," said Stuck Director Stuart Gordon. "I mean, it was one of those stories that just completely grabs you and you know, what would make a woman do something like this?" Gordon and his writing-partner spent two years writing the story, which Gordon describes the first-half of the film as being pretty accurate. He admits that he took liberties with the story and that the news accounts about the case were used as inspiration for Stuck. American Beauty star, Mena Suvari, plays the Chante Mallard character. Actor Stephen Rea, of The Crying Game and V for Vendetta, plays the Gregory Biggs character. The film debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival last month. Gordon expects it will continue on the film festival circuit and should be released to the public next year." |

Wasn't the chick involved a RN, too?
I honestly felt sick to my stomach when I heard that story in the news. |

Roger, I seem to recall something about her working in the medical field but I couldn't find anything on wiki or other links in a google search. |

I think she was a nurses aid, which was astounding to me when I heard it. Here was a person who drew a paycheck for helping to ease the suffering of people on a day to day basis, and then leaves this guy impaled on a winshield in her garage, moaning, for days.

Hey, I think I solved the case.  Kidding; I'm sending this link to my wife and am a fan of poking bears with sticks. |

My thoughts exactly. This role would be perfect for Queen Latifa. |

 Do you think she could play a convincing doped up, drunken, meth head? |

She got 50 years, but I don't know if that held up, or what that really means.

Hearing the original story was kind of like watching kittens being tortured -
Why would anyone actually pay money to see this?

She smoked marijuana, drank alcohol, then took ecstasy before she hit him - and (I believe) methanphetamines later on. |

Talking with some friends today the thought came up that horrific tale that it is, it's still probably going to be pretty hard to come up with a watchable 75 minutes or so of storyline. |
