Shepard’s career started with a bang — the sound that The
Linguini Incident made when it bombed at the box office. Then
24 years old and just out of NYU Film School, Shepard said the movie
killed his career before it started. "I was sent immediately to movie
jail," he says. Now, with The Matador, a quirky
thriller/comedy starring Pierce Brosnan, Shepard has proven that there
are second chances in Hollywood. He has also directed
Mercy, a thriller made for $50K, and just finished
the first draft of Spring Break in Bosnia, a
thriller/black comedy about the search for a war criminal in post-war
Bosnia.
