Manilow the Object of a Romantic Comedy?
So the word on the Hollywood streets, as reported in Variety magazine, is that a new movie may be in the works that involves a roadtrip to see Vegas to see a Barry Manilow show. Sound familiar?
Apparently R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe has a production company, Single Cell Pictures, that is teaming up with Tom Hank’s production company, Playtone, to work on a romantic comedy where fans with various plotlines from different parts of the country roadtrip to converge on Las Vegas to see Manilow play at Mandalay Bay. Think “Detroit Rock City” meets “Copacabana!”
The film is as yet untitled but is said to feature Manilow songs throughout, and there is a rumor of Barry perhaps performing a song or 2. Manilow is expected to collaborate on the project. Stay tuned!
