File under: the stupidest thing we’ve read today. Reports come from the U.K. (of course), that Britney Spears is going to play a lesbian killer in Quentin Tarantino’s “Faster Pussycat Kill Kill” remake. First off that idea is nothing more than a twinkle in QT’s eye and casting? Fat chance, he’s waist deep in “Inglorious Bastards.” He hasn’t even cast the thing yet.
This sounds like specious bullshit report, and we can’t even believe we’re giving this even the time of day, but what sucks about being a blogger or a reporter even is that you want to stay on top of stuff in the off chance it actually happens. We’ll eat our shoe Werner Herzog if this happens anytime in the next three years; that project, even if it happens, is so far off the radar right now. Ugh, stupid, stupid. Then again, we could see QT giggling to himself that this would be a fun, ironic idea, but he does love casting terrible people in good roles (see Eli Roth for ‘Bastards‘).
As Spoutblog wisely notes, Tarantino has never even confirmed Liz Smith’s original gossip report whence all the ‘Pussycats’ remake noise came from and does point out another gossipy Page 6 report about the film that includes porn actresses.
