Douglas goes on a jag
Douglas has apparently been cast in a new film written and directed by art house auteur Henry Jaglom. The tentative working title is "Why Hollywood Hates Older Women (Especially My Wife)" and will star Jaglom's wife Victoria Foyt as an older actress who doesn;t get any good roles. Douglas will play the male lead, a bald director in a felt hat who makes endless movies about his wife when no-one else will.
I'm back...but hiding
Many thousands of pardons for the lack of posts in the past month. Douglas very nearly discovered my true identity, so it became essential to lie low for a while.
Also there hasn't been a whole lot of news to report. But now things seem to be happening for Our English Hero:
- He appears in The Last Eve, a film by Young Man Kang. There's a trailer up at youngmankang.com, and Douglas can be glimpsed briefly in the scene where the TV is split into four quadrants. It appears his character is also named "Douglas Dunning," and is a TV news anchorman. You can bet he won't have the standard MSM liberal bias!
- Reportedly, the cardboard box in which DD was living proved insufficient during the recent cold spell in Loss Angeles, but fortunately he managed to find an industrial size refrigerator at the city dump, large enough for his majestic frame.
- Douglas is currently in the running for a major speaking role in Pixar's next cartoon; and for Ming the Merciless in Universal's new Flash Gordon remake opposite Ashton Kutcher; and is even a contender for the role of Lex Luthor in Bryan Singer's new Superman picture.
- In spite of the way he got royally shafted by Gregory Hatanaka in Until the Night, Douglas, for some reason, is continuing to work with that hack on a new project called Ambushes From 17 Sides. It seems the condition of Douglas's castign was that he be made the male lead this time around, and it looks like that might actually happen.
- Douglas was recently diagnosed with narcolepsy, but we've always said that he could out-act most any so-called star in his sleep. That's still true.
- Don't be fooled by the DVD in stores now that sports a large "DD" logo on the cover. I bought it thinking it was a tribute to Douglas, but it's actually some gay fetish movie starring Ben Affleck.
