Grey Gardens Movie?

Well, what happened to the other one with Barrymore?

This seems very odd. I'm going to post a comment regarding IMDB's policy on posting movie listings from when the Bat Boy movie page was erased:


We're sorry but the listing has been removed because we've been unable to verify the eligibility of the film to be included at the database at this time.

Please remember that, as stated on our site, we normally list only films that have been completed and released, or that are filming or in advanced pre-production. At this time we could not find any third party evidence (i.e. verification from sources not involved with the production) to support this.

For more details please see:

http://www.imdb.com/help/show_leaf?titlesinproduction

If/when the project becomes eligible you are welcome to resubmit it and, if you provide enough data to allow our editors to verify its eligibility, we'll be happy to re-add it. Otherwise it will have to wait until it has been completed and released or shown to the public at a qualifying screening (e.g. a film festival).

Thank you for your understanding.

So, I would guess that there may indeed be at least a modicum of truth to this.

Still, I'm not really believing it.

Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange are doing a film based on the documentary (Lange specified in interviews it was nothing to do with the musical). And that's what the link in the original post is. I still don't know how I ended up with an IMDbPro account, but I guess it can be helpful sometimes. ^_^

I'm glad that they aren't relating it to the musical. The musical is a really nice piece of theatre that shouldn't be polished with some movie.

click below for production pics. This film is not based on the documentary per se, though it includes that aspect of their story. The film covers their whole lives up to and beyond the documentary time frame. There's even a scene of Little Edie's famous nightclub act that takes place well after the documentary. But the primary focus of the film is the missing thirty year period that happens between acts of the musical, post running away, pre documentary.

So they are aging Drew up to Documenatry and post-doc Little Edie? Interesting.

It's weird, but I'm more worried about Jessica Lange playing Big Edie than I am with Drew playing Little Edie. Other than Frances, I've never been impressed with anything that Jessica Lange has done, and I think Frances was a fluke.

Baine, I wasn't even a little upset. Sorry if it read that way. I was just hooking you guys up to the other thread and correcting some information.

Re Jessica Lange. I looked up her resume on IMDB and realize that I've seen her in about ten movies. She does twisted aristocracy really well. I think she might be okay in this. We'll see.

A few days late--busy week, sorry.
Thanks for the clarification, Artscallion. You didn't really sound upset. I think it was just the caps and that I'm so used to seeing people yell whenever there's another thread in existence, if that makes sense. Sorry!!! *snug*


Bettyboy---Even with a facelift, couldn't that be overcome with stage makeup? Wrinkles aren't very hard to make at all. Heck, if Robin Williams and John Travolta can become women, wrinkles are a piece of cake.

My best friend is in the movie with Drew Barrymore playing her first suitor in her early 20's. He is actually on set with her as we speak!

The movie has wrapped filming. Can't wait to see it.
