- Plot:
Literally "torn from today's
headlines," this made-for-cable drama recounts the sordid story of Max
Factor heir Andrew Luster (here played by Jason Gedrick), who, over a
period of several years, used the "date-rape" drug GHB to render
several impressionable young woman unconscious, at which point he raped
them while a video camera recorded his assaults. Galvanized by Luster's
first victim, herein identified only as Connie Doe (Marla Sokoloff),
two other girls who had been drugged and ravished by the wealthy
predator joined Connie in bringing about legal action against him.
Although the girls were forced to relive their horrendous experiences
during testimony, their combined efforts so moved the jury that Luster
was convicted on 86 criminal charges and sentenced to 124 years in
prison. At the time this film went into production, the real-life
Luster was fugitive from justice; escaping from house arrest and
skipping off to parts unknown, he was tried and convicted in absentia.
In June of 2003, one week before filming on A Date With Darkness
wrapped, Luster was recaptured in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, by bounty
hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman (played in the film by an uncredited stunt
man). This necessitated a hasty rewrite of the film's final scenes and
an equally hasty refilming (as evidenced by the patently false beard on
the face of actor Jason Gedrick). In its final form, A Date With
Darkness: The Trial and Capture of Andrew Luster debuted August 11,
2003, on the Lifetime Network; the telecast was followed by an
impassioned warning against the dangers of GHB, delivered by the film's
co-star, Marla Sokoloff.
