Paris Hilton may play movie Mother Teresa

Here's one you can file under: "you're pulling my plonker". An Indian film director is considering Paris Hilton for the role of saintly Mother Teresa, IANS news agency suggests.

 

Director T Rajeevnath admitted: "My agents in California have contacted Paris Hilton." He explained that the reason behind this extending of feelers in Hilton's direction was the multi-talented heiress's refusal to get her kit off for Playboy.

 

Rajeevnath continued: "Although there are several actresses willing to play the role of Mother Teresa, the most widely respected and loved person, the history of the actress who is finally chosen for the role would have to be analysed thoroughly before she is chosen."

 

We reckon Mr Rajeevnath is going to get a nasty shock when he finally gets around to analysing Ms Hilton's "history". Regarding her acting credentials, well, she last year appeared in House of Wax, which was pretty well universally kicked to death by the critics.

 

Likewise, her steamy Carl's Jr. Spicy BBQ Burger TV advert cavort (http://www.theregister.co.uk/internet/web/paris_hilton_advert/) did little to demonstrate convincing thespian tendencies.

 

She did, though, give a far more convinving technical performance in One Night in Paris, albeit displaying the sort of skills which we very much doubt will be required to play Mother Teresa. As one critic put it: "In this 37-minute shagfest Hilton literally sucks. And so does her acting."

Mother Theresa was better looking

Oh, if I had a dollar for every time I've told someone that they're pulling my plonker, I'd be a rich, rich man.

Calling Paris Hilton "multi-talented" was the funniest part of this article.

His reasoning for picking her is because she won't do Playboy??? Has he forgotten she has two sex tapes out? She probably won't do Playboy because she considers it a step down.

Just what we'll need, Mother Theresa saying, "That's hot".

Here is the article on the Friday the 13th remake...from Fango

 

Various sources across the web are rumbling (and grumbling) about the latest news on New Line’s next Jason Voorhees outing, as the Hollywood trades officially confirmed that Michael Bay and his Platinum Dunes production shingle are assisting the studio in bringing a new FRIDAY THE 13TH to the big screen.

 

One certainly had reason to presume that FRIDAY would get a straight redux, given Platinum’s track record with the TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and AMITYVILLE HORROR remakes—but that doesn’t appear to be the case at all. It’s still unclear what this FRIDAY, penned by former Fango scribe Mark Wheaton (who did the final script work on THE MESSENGERS for Ghost House Pictures and the Pang Bros.), will deliver to the legions of Voorhees fans who continue to nourish themselves on 10 straight-up Jason splatter-sodes and one VS. entry. Suffice to say, rumors have run rampant; for some answers, Fango turned to Plantinum Dunes’ Brad Fuller, who’s co-producing the film with partners Andrew Form and Michael Bay.

 

“We don’t know exactly what it’s going to be yet; it’s definitely not going to be set after FREDDY VS. JASON or JASON X,” Fuller tells Fango, addressing their film’s place in the FRIDAY universe. “This was such a juicy title, we couldn’t pass it up. So we’ve been talking to Wheaton, and we’re figuring it out. Jason didn’t really start killing until FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2, so this isn’t a remake of the first one—Jason’s definitely going to be killing people in our movie. He didn’t wear the hockey mask until the third film [pictured], and our Jason is definitely going to wear the mask—so this is how we’re going about it right now.

 

“It feels to me like it’s going to be a re-imagining of…” Fuller pauses, trying to find the right word. “I don’t know if there is a term for it…it’s going to be like what we did with THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, that’s the best analogy I have. There are going to be things you recognize, but we will make it a distinctively different story. We’re going to keep all of the things that are expected [of a FRIDAY THE 13TH film] in there.”

 

Early reports stated that New Line was eyeing a release date of Friday, October 13th of this year. As far as this is concerned, Fuller is remaining realistic. Sticking to that deadline would involve nothing less than meticulous yet swift preparation. “We’re not planning on meeting that October date,” he reveals. “It was something that was originally discussed, but we don’t think we should write a script, find a director, cast a movie, and then make a film [that fast]. It deserves time, and we don’t want to rush this. The October date doesn’t feel like something we will be doing; plus we have a movie [TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE ORIGIN] coming out a week before. We’re not going let a release date dictate the film’s quality.”

 

And who will play the man behind the mask? It’s still too early to tell, but contrary to the recent gossip, it’s not going to be CHAINSAW’s hulking Andrew Bryniarski. “In our mind, he is Leatherface,” says Fuller. “With those two icons, you can’t mix them. I don’t see Andrew Bryniarski playing Jason.” —Ryan Rotten

 

-----My thoughts on this is that it MIGHT be alright, but I'd much rather see an actual sequal than whatever this is supposed to be. It kind of might turn out that way though (as a sequal of sorts) depending how they do this. Bridging Jason Goes to Hell and Jason X perhaps, but indirectly and unofficially? At first I thought this remake would be based on the first film entirely, which I totally disagreed with, so it's good to see that really isn't the case here. Gotta say I'm intruiged how they are going to do this (they did ok on the TCM, but I thought Amityville was god awful) but I am still fearing the worst.

The guy just doesn't know who Paris Hilton is, probably.

 

Also, Mother Theresa's not the most well respected and loved person. She's not that great. Besides, if she's Catholic, by extension Jesus and his mother would be better than her. And Jesus said the best person that ever lived was John the Baptist, so even more.

This reminds me of that Chappelle epiosde where thye had "Mooney on Movies" and Paul Money was talking about Brad Pit starring in "The Mexican" and Tom Cruise in "The Last Samurai" and than he propsed a new movie, with Tom Hanks as "The Last Nigga on Earth"

Geez, next there'll be someone who wants Keanu Reeves to play Buddha

"WHAT IS THIS SONG?"

Hearing Keanu say that line cracks me up every time. He just does an Apu impression.

I liked Paris Hilton in the OC episode where the crew went to L.A.

I kind of get what he's saying here. When I saw the new TCM, aside from the addition of way too many family members, I got more of a feeling that it was just another story related to the "mythology" and not necessarily a remake. That's probably what this film will be. He says that Jason will be wearing the hockey mask, so it's definitely taking place after the events of Part 3, and since he gets "laid to rest" in Part 4 for several years (until Part 6) than I am guessing that it'll be taking place before the events of Part 4. So, a Part 3.5 I guess. That is, if they're going for any kind of continuity with the original series, which I hope to fuck that they do.

Not really any time for something to take place between 3 and 4, part four began right where part 3 left off, he got carted off to the morgue, killed a couple people there, then went back to the camp....so unless part 3.5 is his walk back to the camp, I don't think there's much there.
