A VERY PRIVATE SCREENING

MICHAEL J. FOX sat through a screening of the film "Blow" on Tuesday. So
did STEVEN VAN ZANDT of "The Sopranos" and Bruce Springsteen's E Street
Band and KYLE MacLACHLAN of "Twin Peaks," but not TED DEMME, left, who
directed the movie. "I couldn't sit through it again," he said. "It's
really emotional for me, because it's real, about real people." But Mr.
Demme said he would not skip a screening today for GEORGE JUNG, the 1970's
drug kingpin (JOHNNY DEPP in the film, which opens tomorrow). That
screening at the Otisville federal prison in upstate New York will be for
"just him and the warden," Mr. Demme said, although DENNIS LEARY, the
film's producer, said he was going along. "It's going to be difficult," he
said. "We have to go to a jail cell and show a man who is very regretful
about the way he lived his life a film that shows how regretful he is about
his life."
