    Movie: The Importance of Being Elvis...

    I saw this on EIN...I never heard anything about this movie...

    Stephen Frears' movie 'The Importance of Being Elvis' put On Hold: Back in 2004 Oscar-Wining director Stephen Frears ('The Queen', 'Hi-Fidelity', 'Mrs Henderson Presents') talked of making a new comedy-drama 'The Importance of Being Elvis'. The reported premise of 'The Importance of Being Elvis' was about a man who assumes Elvis' identity while the singer was serving in the U.S. Army during the late 1950s. Elvis loses his golden singing voice after being shot in the throat. An impersonator named Brian is then tapped by Elvis' shady manager, Col. Tom Parker, and the U.S. government to take over for The King. Stephen Frears was to direct with the screenplay by Christopher Bradshaw & Roger Payne. Stephen Frears' representative told EIN this week that Frears is no longer involved with his Elvis project but will let EIN know if anything changes. (Celluloid News, Source;EIN)

    I never have either. Sounds like a soap opera.

    I dream a world where man no other man
    will scorn. Where LOVE will bless the earth
    and peace its paths adorn...

    I don't think I would like it either, it sounded okay, then it turned into DAVE.
    Remember that movie with Kevin Kline? Where a presidential impersonator is
    hired to fill in for the president?

    Let the stars fade and fall, and I won't care at all, as long as I have you.

    Hi Wendy. No, it hasn't been made, yet...It's on hold!
    It sounds very weird to me, so I actually hope they don't make it.

    I agree! I love the expression on his face in this one.
    GirlHappy, are you a happy girl because you live in Maui? I would be!
    My apologies for going off-topic. I'm done!
