On this day in 1996, TRI-STAR PICTURES released THE FAN. Directed by TONY SCOTT from the novel by PETER ABRAHAMS, this story of an obsessed psycho baseball fan having a very bad day starred ROBERT DeNIRO and WESLEY SNIPES with a terrific supporting cast featuring ELLEN BARKIN, JOHN LEGUIZAMO, BENICIO DEL TORO, PATTI D’ARBANVILLE and DAN BUTLER. A tidy little thriller.
