John Malkovich Signs On For 'Color Me Kubrick'

[Wednesday, June 18th, 2003]
John Malkovich has signed to star in the comedy Color Me Kubrick, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The movie based on a true story of a man who conned his way into London's high life by pretending to be director Stanley Kubrick

Billed as a cinema verite laffer, 'Color Me Kubrick' is based on events during the shooting of 'Eyes Wide Shut' in London from 1998-99, when a man pretending to be the legendary director got into many of the city's most exclusive parties, restaurants and nightclubs. Playing on his willing victims' star-struck desire to believe, he was successful despite bearing no resemblance to Kubrick.

The script for 'Kubrick' will come from the late director's longtime personal assistant, Anthony Frewin. Brian Cook, a Kubrick crew member on 'Eyes Wide Shut' is set to direct.
