The news of Park Chan-wook's American debut "Stoker" has filled his fans with an understandable mixture of anticipation and dread.
How will the South Korean director of provocative fare like "Oldboy" adjust to the rigors of the studio system, an industry seldom kind to auteurs and their pesky personal visions? Can "Stoker," a kinky uncle psychodrama starring Nicole Kidman and Matthew Goode, possibly match the dark, subversive energy of his early work, or will Chan-wook become the latest foreign "transplant" to mortgage his soul to Tinsel Town?

It's no secret that Hollywood fills its directors' chairs by culling talent from other countries, a practice dating back to émigré filmmakers like Fritz Lang and Billy Wilder, who escaped Europe before World War II and met with varying degrees of success stateside. Wilder caught fire early, going on to produce classics like "Sunset Boulevard" and "Some Like It Hot." Lang, the meticulous master behind the sci-fi landmark "Metropolis," worked just as offen-
Younger transplant filmmakers are struggling to keep their movies personal, even when they're handed the reins to a long-running franchise. After wowing international audiences with his Rio crime saga "Elite Squad", Jose Padilha was chosen by Columbia to help their "RoboCop" remake. Now, only a few weeks into production, Padilha is already clashing with studio heads, reportedly over script rewrites and the tone of the movie, which is set for release next August.
although his later films suffered from budgetary woes and recurrent studio medding.
More recently, talented foreign filmmakers have come to Hollywood only to lose themselves in the service of greed-driven mediocrity. Perhaps the sorrie... example is German director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. His 2006 film, "The Lives of Others," remains a fascinating chronicle of Stasi oppression in East Berlin, as well as one of the few surveillance thrillers worthy of comparisons to Coppola's "The Conversation." Since coming to Hollywood, Donnersmarck's only film has been "The Tourist," an execrable Venice crime caper that confused Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie's vacation photos with the need for a coherent plot and engaging, relatable characters.
make "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy", a mature, ruminative adaptation of John le Carre's labyrinthine spy novel.
Other transplant directors have found ways to access star power and expanded budgets without drowning in the mainstream. Sweden's Tomas Alfredson injected fresh blood into the vampire mythos with "Let the Right One In" and was subsequently showered with directing offers from Hollywood. Instead he chose to relocate to the U.K. and
In the trailer for "Stoker," which appears to be a grim reimagining of Hitchcock's "Shadow of a Doubt," Kidman's character quietly informs her daughter (Mia Wasikowska), "I can't wait to watch life tear you apart." It seems Chan-wook's diabolical instincts are even sharper in English. I wouldn't be surprised if this particular transplant sets down roots as a vital new voice in American cinema.

Tech N9ne returns home
Aaron Dontez Yates, better known to fans as Tech N9ne, is no stranger to Kansas. Born in Kansas City, Mo., Yates grew into an aspiring hip-hop rapper, finally making it big in the early 2000s. Today he will be in Lawrence to play at the Granada.
A new EP titled "Boiling Point" will drop on Oct. 30 — just weeks after the show, meaning the rapper is expected to reveal some new songs. According to his site, "Tech N9ne bars the dark side of his soul yet again — showing you what makes him truly inside out. Tech N9ne just keeps creating — feeding the fans more and more music every chance he gets." Boiling Point is sure to be a fan favorite...
In late 1999, Yates, alongside Travis O'Guen, founded the record label Strange Music. Yates continues to release all his work through this label. Spin Magazine connected the label's name to the personality Yates brings to his music.
"No one responsible for founding a label called Strange Music is going to hew too close to normal, but Tech NNe strays further than might be expected," wrote Spin Magazine in a review of his album "All 6's and 7s." While he is best known for the speed of his raps and dynamic rhymes, Spin also claims Yates' style to be tense, pinch, fast and fidgety.

"I got into theater at around age 11, and I haven't stopped much since." Espy said.
Espy has been working professionally in the Kansas City area since 2006 and has worked as a director, producer, writer, designer and actor.
When it comes to theater, Alex Espy knows his way around the business.
"Beginning directing was just the way my career path has taken me," he said.
Espy's latest venture is currently directing the upcoming University Theatre production of "The 39 Steps," a play based on the novel of the same name that was turned into a film by Alfred Hitchcock. The play will open on Oct. 12.
When asked about his favorite show, Espy said it was hard to pick just one.
Difficulty Level ★★★
Espy also talked about a production he worked on at the Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City, Mo; it included a performance of an original version of "Alice in Wonderland" in the museum's sculpture, which involved the audience traveling with the cast as the story went on.
The show is open to all ages and begins at 8 p.m. The doors opens at 7 p.m., and tickets can be bought at the door for $35.

"He's basically a preacher of theatre, and he knows how it works." Unruh said. "Having that knowledge is very good."

According to a blog post from Yates, "2012 wouldn't be complete without a Tech NOne Visit to the Jahawkw Nation!"
Indeed, Espy's experience in the theater business has been considered extremely beneficial by Delbert Unruh, Espy's stage designer for the upcoming production of "The 39 Steps."
"Each show is a unique experience, so it's hard" he said. "I do really like working on highly physical shows like 'The 39 Steps' and creating original work like the shows I've done for the Nelson-Atkins Museum."
Sarah Edwards, a freshman from Overland Park, said that while she doesn't listen to his music, she would still consider going to the show because Tech N9ne comes from this area.
The typical consensus around campus is that this is one show students don't want to miss.

"He makes it such a fun atmosphere," the show's stage manager Hilary Surface, a senior from Kansas City, Kan. "It's not restrictive, and he lets you try what you want, and he wants everyone's creativity in the show. It's a team effort"
Espy also directed last winter's production of "Noah's Art" for the University Theatre department, which makes "The 39 Steps" his second University production.
Unruh is impressed with Espy's connection to the actors.
Espy's positive attitude and passion toward his work has also been beneficial for his productions.
"I most appreciate the work ethic of the students, and the faculty and staff are very supportive," he said.
"He can communicate with them on a level I couldn't if I were directing the show," Unruh said.
However, Espy's creativity is not confined to just the theater. In his spare time, he also takes up other creative media such as painting and sculptural work.
"He's such a professional and treats the show like it's professional and not just a University show," Surface said. "He treats the cast not just like students but also like professionals."
"It's also fun for me to see just now small a scale I can work with," he said. "Especially putting entire scenes inside small spaces such as matchboxes."
