(Don Lafontaine voice-over) In a world ... where "authenticity" two unnaturally pretty German-accented black men with nimble feet on the dance floor win a Grammy ... Then have it brutally revoked for lip synching ... but -- in this tale of Redemption -- they ultimately find their voice. " Hmm. Would that trailer hype get your ass in the seat at a movie theater? Remember, tickets are $11 now. From Michelle Kung of Popwatch:
"What have Jamie Foxx and Joaquin Phoenix wrought? Now that Hollywood sees music biopics as gateways to critical acclaim and Oscars, any singer is game — even ones that never really did their own singing. According to Variety, Universal Pictures is developing a biopic about Milli Vanilli, the vocal duo that infamously had to give up their 1990 Grammy for Best New Artist after it was discovered they lip-synched their way through catchy hits like 'Blame It On the Rain' and 'Girl You Know It's True.' And it definitely sounds like a wannabe prestige project: screenwriter Jeff Nathanson, who first explored the world of cons and chicanery in the Leo DiCaprio/Steven Spielberg vehicle Catch Me If You Can, is set to write, and has secured the help of alumnus Fabrice Morvan (partner Rob Pilatus OD'd in 1998)."
Okay, castwise The Corsair is thinking Pharrell Williams and Chamillionaire. (And, yeah: We just wanted to say "Chamillionair")

Oh the cheesy inhumanity of this one! Why? Whyyy?
I'd watch this movie but they have to get newbees as the main actors for it to be taken seriously. Fuck rappers taking hte roles unless if they really want the movie to be a joke.
