Timoner, who won at Sundance for DIG in 2004 and We Live In Public in 2009, is also producing with Sirad Balducci and Eliza Dushku. The project has the backing of the Mapplethorpe Foundation, and a summer production start is in the works. CAA and UTA co-rep the project.
Deadline.
Blimey.
I know actors act and all that, but casting the sexless Matt Smith as The King Of The Pervs seems most incongruous.
Perhaps the film will change the leather clubs to tweed and corduroy clubs?
PS Presumably this will be based on Patti Smith's acclaimed memoir, Just Kids.
If it only deals with their relationship we could - hilariously - see Mapplethorpe de-gayed and heterosexualised.
PPS Fagburn is rather looking forward to seeing World Of Wonder's documentary, Mapplethorpe: Look At The Pictures!

I've never heard of this fellow. But almost everything can be improved by adding tweed, and time lords. Intact I would watch time travelling tweedy types struggling eccentrically with being a perv over any amount of actual perviness.
ReplyDeleteSigh. No, you're right. Casting is terrible. Problem being I suppose there is just no-one else in the world like Patti Smith and any attempt is ridiculous and futile watered down pedestrian bonkfest for the masses. :P
ReplyDeleteBut from this site looks like Vivien Westwood still has the moves <3
