Movie of the Day: Chinatown

Chinatown (1974)

Polanski's last movie filmed in America before he fled the country. Jack Nicholson thought it would be a good idea to star in and direct a sequel to Chinatown in 1990 called The Two Jakes... most people didn't think it was. Screenwriter Robert Towne originally planned a trilogy of movies involving private investigator J.J. Gittes. The third movie, called Cloverleaf, was to take place in the 1950s and concerned the creation of the L.A. Freeway (That story idea would be used in 1988's Who Framed Roger Rabbit.)
