Paul Potts - The Movie

What Next Su-Bo the opera? well Simon Cowell is on board as producer...

According to Risky Business Paramount are going to try to rush through production in time for next summer's Britain's got talent final. They're describing it in "Rocky" terms as a triumph of the undergdog type schtick.

Frankly I think it's a load of nonsense. We don't need a film of this man's triumph, it's already been blanket documented! What more could a film possibly offer? who will they cast to play Potts? if he's to play himself can the fucker act? probably not.

Good news is, it's to be shot in England with English accents, I'm just not sure how well mawkish sentimentality with cheeky chappy awraight luv? englishness (i'm looking at you Matthew Vaughn...). At Least mooted director Julian Jarrold has some decent films under his belt (Red Riding most notably).

Besides all this, nothing's going to top his first audition. You can't remake that shit. That first audition is a climax that can't be stretched out over 90 minuets.
