The wheels are in motion for what’s sure to be a shiteous romantic comedy revolving around the song catalogue of Barry Manilow.
Single Cell and Playtone are collaborating on the project with Michael Stipe and Tom Hanks directly involved in production.
Apparently the film won’t be a traditional musical a la Mamma Mia with the actors bursting into song at any given moment, but rather the plot is being compared to Love Actually with intersecting story lines between the characters.
The characters will all be old Manilow fans going to Las Vegas for a weekend to see the singer perform at Mandalay Bay.
His music will be played throughout the movie with a performance or two from Manilow himself, of course.
This is the first time Manilow has allowed his song catalogue to be used in a film.
Sounds HOrrendous!
Will U go see this movie?
