Oh boy, Harry here. I'm dying to see what happens with this movie. There is a part of me that wants it to be genius and shock the hell out of a disbelieving world of cynics... and then there is that Train Wreck Fetishist inside of me awaiting the greatest derailing in mankind's cinema history. BUT... No matter the case... I'll be there with bells on... Here's the latest... the start date is now.... MARCH... here we go.....
Harry, Just a little movie news about my man MJ:
The Columbus Dispatch reported on 31st October that Gary L.Pudney has spoken about Michael Jackson's plans for his film 'The Nightmare Of Edgar Allen Poe' and about the new album.
Reportedly, "Michael Jackson will move to Montreal with his two children in early 2001 to prepare for the shooting of his long-planned movie." Production is to begin in March and Michael will act in the leading role and also will be executive producer, with Gary Pudney and Jim Green. Gary Pudney told columnist Marilyn Beck ""Michael's not going to look exactly like Poe, but you won't be able to tell the difference between them 10 minutes into the picture, it's going to be absolutely spectacular, full of gruesome goodies - and concluding with all the ghosts Poe wrote about coming back to haunt him at the end of his life. We'll also be hiring six to eight other incredible actors to help bring Michael up to snuff, he'll have an acting coach prior to production and during shooting." Michael is currently writing the theme song, which he will sing.
Reportedly, the new album "has been rescheduled for a January release. It could be his last for a while."
Gary Pudney concluded "He wants to concentrate on films, we're already planning on more Poe films, and there are one or two other pictures we are also talking about doing. Michael is wired into the hierarchy of Hollywood - people like Marlon Brando and Elizabeth Taylor, with whom he wants to work - and vice versa."
-Eboy
