Hateful

July 17, 2008

Hateful being that a dude might direct the first Louise Brooks biopic. From louisebrooks.livejournal.com.

A Louise Brooks movie?

According to various news reports . . .

SHIRLEY MacLAINE has developed a script for a movie about the life of screen icon LOUISE BROOKS – and she wants to play the dancer in her latter years. The actress reveals filmmaker Martin Scorsese is interested in directing the movie.

She tells WENN, “I’ve written a script with Kathleen Tynan and it was a pretty good script. Martin Scorsese is interested in doing it. He took an option on the script, so that might happen.

“I’d love to be part of the film – I’d love to play Brooks in her later years, when she was living an isolated, hermit-like existence in upstate New York.”

I know the dude is Scorsese but geez, of all the stories in the filmosphere, this one needs to be directed by a woman. He’s overrated anyway.
