Given how strange the Barbara Hoffman murder case was in real life, it’s fitting that the movie version of the case should have its share of strangeness as well.
According to a story this week in the New York Post, strangeness recently invaded the Schenectady, N.Y., set of the filming of Madison author Karl Harter’s 1990 book on the Hoffman case, “Winter of Frozen Dreams.”
….THE LOS ANGELES Times on Friday had a substantial story about the ongoing attempt in the Wisconsin Legislature to get financial incentives for filmmakers — scheduled to begin Jan. 1 of next year — into effect immediately. The concern is that a $10 million film on the life of a Madison native, poker star Phil Hellmuth, will likely film in Canada rather than here if the incentives aren’t in effect.
