Kaye Seeking Consideration

by Shauna Snow, Times Staff Writer

Los Angeles Times, January 5, 1999

Although he attempted to take his name off the film's directing credits and has filed a $200-million lawsuit against New Line Cinema over its editing of American History X, Tony Kaye is once again associating himself with the film, in what he calls his own bid to get an Oscar nomination--for his work as cinematographer.

Kaye, whose battle with the studio went public in June when he took out several bizarre ads in the Hollywood trades criticizing New Line, is back to his old tricks, this time with a cryptic full-page ad in Monday's Daily Variety featuring only two words in tiny print--"Best Cinematography"--with no mention of the film or Kaye himself.

"I'm hoping that this visual vernacular that I've begun [will make readers understand what the ad is for]," Kaye told The Times, adding that promoting his cinematography work "doesn't get in the way of my lawsuit since the cinematography is the thing they couldn't ruin."
