New Elvis related movie in the pipeline.

[presley31]

UK stage musical star Connie Fisher is to make her TV acting debut in a new drama about an obsessive Elvis fan.

The former telecoms girl, starring in the West End production of The Sound of Music, will play Gemma Perkins in the film, which is inspired by a true story.

In Caught in a Trap, Gemma lives with her overbearing mother and downtrodden father and has a dull job emptying car park meters. But when she finds an easy way to improve her fortunes she goes on a spending spree for Elvis memorabilia - which soon spirals out of control.


Connie, 24, said she was "thrilled" to have landed the role. "I am very excited and can't wait to start filming."

Sounds like most people on this board.

I think a lot of people on this forum can relate to this character
I just hope it won't be a stupid movie, and it will respect Elvis' image...

Didn't Rosanne Barr already make a similar movie? She was some big obsessed Elvis fan and her house was filled with Elvis stuff, seems like I remember something along those lines.
