@Theleekycauldron: I'll go ahead and take this review!

Y Article is new enough and long enough, despite what DYK Check says. Expanded from a redirect within the last day.
Y Article is adequately sourced (as a note, I applaud the cited plot summary)
Y Article is neutral, accurately representing the opinions of reviewers of the subject
Y Article does not plagiarize, taking only small quotes from its sources and not closely paraphrasing
Y Both hooks are well-cite. The first draws directly from a quote from its article, while the second accurately reflects the reliable Vanity Fair article
Y Both hooks are interesting and intrigue the reader about the article
Y QPQ done

I personally prefer ALT1 as a hook and fact in general. The original hook solely relies on one reviewer's opinion, whereas ALT1 has some more substance which is expanded upon in the article. I think both would be fine, but would go with ALT1 all things being equal. other than choosing which hook to go with (both are fine) the article is ready for DYK.
