Sacha Baron Cohen’s Bruno film is shaping up to be one hell of a ride, what with making headlines last year all over the world with high-profile appearances at airports, fashion runways and more.
The comedian’s gay fashion reporter character’s next target is Madonna it seems, as the film will see Bruno and his boyfriend adopt an African baby called David, who they parade around fashion capitals of the world.
For those who don’t get it: Madonna adopted a Malawian baby called David Banda a while ago.
This year is going pretty well for British author Clive Barker, as many of his stories are being adapted into films, with the latest being The Madonna, a short story from “Books of Blood”.
Dread producer Jorge Saralegui revealed in an interview that they will shoot Madonna before Pig Blood Blues next year. "We were looking for something to do between Dread and Pig Blood Blues,” he said. “Our other projects that we have in development were not quite ready."
"The Madonna, among the stories that are left, is clearly a movie," he adds. "It’s evenly paced, it feels like a movie and it’s easy to flesh out. What appealed to me about this is the sexuality. That’s my favorite part of horror, probably – when you start screwing with sexual notions. I felt I had a really feel for the story and I knew I couldn’t pull any punches. I pull no punches."
The story centered on a creature that lives in an abandoned bath house where men are slowly turned into women by the creature. It focuses on a gangster “who’s all guy” and starts to turn into a woman.
With the November 14 U.S. opening of MGM’s new James Bond film, Quantum Solace, Capitol/EMI announces an expanded CD, CD/DVD and digital release of TheBest Of Bond… James Bond on October 28.
I just finished listening to the CD that goes with the package. What tantalizing, uplifting tunes! There are 23 musical standouts from the Bond franchise; plus a previously unreleased bonus track of the “James Bond Theme”by John Arnold.
Take a look at the list of classic and contemporary Bond themes by music superstars including Paul McCartney and Wings’ “Live & Let Die,” Madonna’s “Die Another Day,” Duran Duran’s chart-topping “A View To A Kill,” Shirley Bassey’s “Goldfinger,” Tina Turner’s “GoldenEye,” kd lang’s “Surrender,” Sheryl Crow’s “Tomorrow Never Dies,” Chris Cornell’s “You Know My Name,” Carly Simon’s “Nobody Does It Better,” and Tom Jones’ “Thunderball,” among many others. John Arnold’s previously unreleased “James Bond Theme” closes the collection.
I admire Madonna for may reasons. She’s had a brilliant career. Her latest project — directorial debut, Filth and Wisdom, is not something I’d see. It’s a bit much. Take a look for yourself from the trailer for France. No U.S. release date yet.
Madonna turns 50 today, and she is still evolving with the times or changing the times. Whatever she is doing, I admire her for her ability to stay on top and create as an artist. She’s been a singer, fashion icon, dancer, producer, director, writer, actress and, most important, a mother.
I can think of so many cliches about Hollywood being fast and short, success not lasting. The fact that Madonna has lasted as a celebrity means something, says something that the girl gots spunk, spirit, spark — you name – she’s quite a force. Happy Birthday Madonna!
