Legendary filmmaker John Waters hasn’t been in a position to safe funding for Liarmouth, which might be his first film in 20 years
Again in October of 2022, it was introduced that legendary filmmaker John Waters, who has introduced us such movies as Pink Flamingos, Hairspray, Cry-Child, Serial Mother, Cecil B. Demented, and Pecker (amongst others), was teaming up with Village Roadshow Footage for an adaptation of his “craziest” novel, Liarmouth. We’ve since heard that Aubrey Plaza (Parks and Recreation) is up for the lead function within the movie, which might mark Waters’ first time directing since 2004’s A Soiled Disgrace… however in case you’ve been questioning why Liarmouth nonetheless hasn’t made it into manufacturing a yr and a half after it was introduced, Waters provides a solution in a brand new interview with IndieWire: he hasn’t been in a position to get funding for it.
When requested for a Liarmouth standing replace, Waters mentioned, “I’m not going to… [Starts to laugh.] Each time I touch upon that, some article comes out that causes me hell, saying we’re making the film. I’ll say it another time, and there’s no scoop right here, there’s nothing new I’m telling you, however… [Village Roadshow] optioned the e book, I wrote the script, they preferred it, Aubrey [Plaza] likes the script, needs to be in it, I need her to be in it, and each particular person mentioned, ‘No, we don’t have a penny of the price range.’ That’s the place it’s as we speak. Hopefully that may change. However the reply as of as we speak? That’s it.“
Waters’ novel (choose up a duplicate HERE) has the next description: Marsha Sprinkle: Suitcase thief. Scammer. Grasp of disguise. Canines and youngsters hate her. Her circle of relatives needs her lifeless. She’s sensible, she’s determined, she’s disturbed, and she or he’s on the run with an enormous chip on her shoulder. They name her Liarmouth―till one insane man makes her inform the reality.
What do you consider the truth that John Waters can’t discover funding for Liarmouth? Are you hoping to see Waters get the possibility to direct a brand new film twenty years after A Soiled Disgrace? Tell us by leaving a remark beneath. I believe it’s a really soiled disgrace that Waters would have bother getting a film made.
