Domino Harvey, the inspiration for New Line's upcoming film Domino, died in her Los Angeles home on the evening of June 27. Harvey was the daughter of legendary actor Laurence Harvey and a former model who rejected her privileged Beverly Hills life to become a bounty hunter.

"Domino never failed to surprise or inspire me over the last 12 years. She was a free spirit like no other I have ever known," said director Tony Scott.

"We were enormously saddened to hear of Domino's untimely passing. She and I had been conferring about her music to be used in the film only weeks ago. I know I speak for all of us on the movie's cast and crew when I say how much we enjoyed her presence on set when she visited. And although our film is not intended as a biographical piece, hers was the dynamic personality and indomitable spirit that spawned an exciting adventure, not just on screen, but in real life," producer Samuel Hadida added.

New Line had moved Domino from August to November, but the studio has returned the action-thriller to August 19 in order to avoid going up against Universal's Pride and Prejudice, also starring Knightley, and because Knightley will be available at that time to promote the film between shooting the "Pirates of the Caribbean" sequels.

I think this is one I am now looking foward to seeing.

I just watched it. It received terrible reviews, but I really enjoyed it. If you prefer a movie that flows steadily from start to finish, this one will drive you nuts. It reveals the story in bits and pieces, so you never really get the entire story until the end.

Mickey Rourke was outstanding. I had totally forgotten about him until I saw Sin City last year. Keira Knightley was good too. It was funny to see Ian Ziering and Brian Austin Green acting like goofballs playing themselves.

Christopher Walken is also pretty funny in a small part.
