"Off-beat black comedy documents the rise-and-fall of a whimsical Manhattan trust-fund family fallen on hard times.
New York, New York (PRINSIDE.COM) July 29, 2008 - Coming off $200 million in worldwide ticket sales for the smash hit musical 'Hairspray,' director Adam Shankman has been tapped to direct and choreograph a new musical based on the popular music of the iconic Eighties band ELO (Electric Light Orchestra).
With a working title of 'The Trump-Hiltons,' the film, a comedy
set in a fantasy version of
Manhattan's famed Greenwich Village, tracks the wacky challenges faced by a trio of aging 40-something siblings when they find their trust fund is about to go bust and their lavish lifestyles with it. In a script written by newcomer Marvin Easter, the two socially-prominent Trump-Hilton sisters and their mildly autistic brother, a toy store proprietor, attempt to reinvent a centuries-old love potion and launch a designer clothing line based on insomnia and prescription pharmaceuticals to save their "Grey Gardens"-style penthouse from foreclosure.
Under consideration for leading roles are actors Steve Carell ('Forty Year old Virgin'), Sarah Jessica Parker ('Sex and the City,') and Amy Sedaris ('Strangers With Candy') as the beleaguered Trump-Hilton siblings; with Morgan Fairchild, Amanda Bynes, Leslie Kritzer and Matthew Broderick in supporting roles. The film is tentatively set for a 2010 opening."
WOw, Amanda to work with Shankman for a third time (because of maybe Hairspray 2)
But the thing I am rather sadden is that Amanda will be getting only a supporting role. Living Proof, Hairspray 2, now this movie...come on! But I am still excited if this is true because we get to hear more singing!
