It only took 25 years after their first, small collaboration, but director Taylor Hackford finally found the right film to make with his wife Helen Mirren. And to think: Love Ranch , which opens next week, almost didn’t open at all. The fictionalized story of the first legal brothel in the U.S. — and the crimes of passion (and otherwise) that helped sink it in 1977 — was in distribution limbo for most of 2009, ultimately breaking out earlier this year. Along with it come Mirren as a no-nonsense Nevada madam and Joe Pesci (in his first starring role in more than a decade) as her bare-knuckled pimpresario husband.
