Morrissey: The Movie!

The Oscar-nominated team behind THE VOORMAN PROBLEM are pleased to announce that development is underway on a feature-length portrait of Morrissey as a young man currently under the working title of STEVEN.

Developed by Manchester-based Honlodge Productions, the film is a portrait of Morrissey’s early life prior to forming a legendary songwriting partnership with Johnny Marr. The Smiths, who went on to sell millions of records worldwide, were described by the BBC as “the band that inspired deeper devotion than any British group since The Beatles”.

Director Mark Gill and producer Baldwin Li are joined by producer Orian Williams, whose credits include CONTROL, the critically acclaimed biopic of Joy Division’s Ian Curtis. The screenplay is written by Mark Gill and William Thacker, whose debut novel CHARM OFFENSIVE was released by Legend Press in March 2014. Casting will be by Shaheen Baig (CONTROL, THE OTHERS, LOCKE).

Director Mark Gill states: “The film covers Morrissey’s life pre-Smiths and is more of a portrait than a conventional biopic. It’s as much a film for non-Morrissey fans as it is for die-hard devotees, but I can’t deny that this is a love letter to Steven Patrick Morrissey and the dark satanic mills of Manchester.”

This should both fuel and hurt La Mozza's ego; 'Who is this idiot playing ME!!?'

Actually, I bet she tries to sue.

Update: While you're waiting why not watch this short film of La Moz getting attacked by a fan in San Jose Wednesday?

Gone to the dogs?
