The sudden death of Domino Harvey has spawned rumors of a Domino film delay, but the studio says it has no intention of changing the ending to reflect her real-life demise.
Tony Scott may have to return to the editing room of Domino movie to include Harvey's tragic death.
Domino director who decided to turn Harvey's career into a Hollywood blockbuster - starring Keira Knightley as Domino, with other parts taken by Christopher Walken, Mickey Rourke and Jacqueline Bisset - had already been forced to reshoot the ending to incorporate the charges against her.
The director also faces pressure to make the film truer to life and explain how Domino Harvey, ex-model, became a bounty hunter and accused drug dealer.
In the film's trailer, which has already been released, Knightley fires a .50-calibre machinegun and says: "My name is Domino Harvey, I am ... a bounty hunter. What I say will determine whether or not I spend the rest of my life in prison."
New Line said the film is in the final stages of post-production and that there won't even be an epilogue added to acknowledge the final days of Harvey's life. Seeking to remind audiences that the film is not a "Ray"-like straightforward biopic, the studio also insisted that the film is "loosely based" on her life.
"The movie 'Domino' is locked," a New Line Cinema spokesperson said. "We're not changing the ending. We're actually moving the release date to August 19."
