 LOS ANGELES (AP) - Kevin Costner entered the hotel lobby with an apology, "I'm sorry I'm late. I just got off the `Tonight Show.'"
It's hustle time for the actor-filmmaker, working late to get the word out on his new movie, "Mr. Brooks." And for this one, his fans just might need a little of his coaxing. In it, he makes a major departure from his usual upstanding or amiable Western, law-enforcing or sports-playing roles ("Dances With Wolves," "Field of Dreams," "Bull Durham," "Wyatt Earp," "The Untouchables," "Tin Cup," etc., etc.).
His Earl Brooks is a well-known industrialist, benefactor, community leader, husband and father, which all has a familiar Costner ring to it. But his Mr. Brooks leads another, nastily nefarious life. Under the direction of his bloodthirsty alter ego (William Hurt), he plans and commits murders, leaving zero clues behind. Brooks' nemesis is a no-nonsense detective played by Demi Moore in a welcome return.
