Filmstalker with news of a film project that definitely should be filed under "Is this REALLY necessary?":
Seems as though The Pussycat Dolls are heading for the big screen in a film about the story of how they were created and rose to fame.
It seems that the band is currently looking at scripts to see a semi-biographical film come to life, and that's an interesting term semi-biographical.
What it suggests is that it won't all be biographical and that there will be parts that are made up, much like the fabricated band themselves.
However I am doing them a big injustice, they are a good band, hugely successful, they've worked tons to get where they are, and I can't stop dancing to "Dont Cha" whenever it comes on...that last part really is true, it's a party piece with our friends that when that song goes on, Richard goes mental.
Anyway, the rumour from Daily Star (which I couldn't source) through AceShowbiz is from one of those pesky "insider sources", so that coupled with the British tabloid source I would be dubious...however...
The Pussycat Dolls are very good at exploiting all manner of marketing opportunities, so this does sound like it could be plausible. I actually could see this happening, and considering the amount of musical films happening at the moment this could actually work. It'd defintely capture the fans.
Yet it's that "semi-autobiographical" aspect that bothers me, how much is going to be fabricated for drama because the real story just isn't that interesting, and probably a little too manufactured?
The film, according to this insider, will feature plenty of dancing and singing as well as new and old songs, and plenty of cameos. I presume it will also feature the Dolls as they are now. With the band just releasing their second album this is quite a move forward for them.
Is there room for a Pussycat Dolls film, and what about this semi-autobiographical aspect?
Since when was this bunch of ugly (except for their anorexic lead singer) talentless strippers important enough to warrant their own film?
The female gender loves this kind of film Mib...god knows why...They slate us for watching violent films or films of genuine quality (my gf cant stand battle royale,Zatoichi,Terminator ect) but then they love this stuff :(..
