This might be another Starmaker Exclusive...hush, hush
The Starmaker
(meaning, nobody else knows but me)
but I heard some gossip
and I'm not going to say
where i heard it from...
(because it's all hush, hush)
but I hear they are going to
make a Frank Sinatra movie..
based on his life.
(half the hush is out..)
Did anybody hear that?
I already know who the actor's name that
is going to play him, but I was
wondering has anyone else heard that?
Does your actor's name match my actor's name?
Otherwise, I'm going to have to
post his name by Monday.
(...the other Hush)
But I was hoping somebody else would post it
before that, then that proves it is not
a Starmaker Exclusive.

What I mean by another Starmaker Exclusive is
the information is not on the Internet or magazines,
newspapers, trade papers like Hollywood Reporter and Variety,
TV or any other media. It means I'm the only source you're gettin
it from.God help you.
A Frank Sinatra movie.
Based on his life...
That has to be Hot!
And you're hearing it first about it here.
And the actor who is playing Frank Sinatra...
which I'm going to post his name here by Monday...
the minute I do that it would be just easy for you to
just ask him yourself....
"Are you playing Frank Sinatra in a movie?"
He won't be able to deny it.
That's it, by Monday it's out..
no longer a secret.
There is nothing they can do...
He gonna ask "How did you hear about that?"
They'll respond with...
"It's on the Internet!"
...and don't forget to tell them my name...
The Starmaker
"Did you hear they are making a movie about Frank Sintra?"
"Who's in it?"
His name is right there
http://star-currency.forbes.com/celebrity-list/top-celebrities
Just call them all up and ask! Somebody reading this must have some "connections". Know somebody,
who knows somebody, who knows somebody, who knows somebody, ...you know how it works..."it's who you know."
It certaintly ain't Denzel Washington, he plays mostly Black guys.
But Robert Downey played a Black guy so it's possible Denzel Washington
might do it. He complains he doesn't get enough scripts!
Somebody is making phone calls right now
"Hey Al, are you making a Frank Sintra movie?"
"What are you nuts or something?"
"Hey Nick, are you making a Frank Sintra movie?"
"Hey Bruce, are you making a Frank Sintra movie?"
"Hey Nicole, are you making a Frank Sintra movie?"
"Hey Robert, are you making a Frank Sintra movie?"
"Hey Clint, are you making a Frank Sintra movie?"
I'll make it easier for...don't start from the bottem of the list,

I forgot to mentioned the information comes from the producer of the Frank Sinatra movie...
and he don't want anybody to know...but that's his problem isn't it?
The Starmaker
Judging by the name of the actor playing Frank Sinatra, I would have to say it has to
be a quality production and not one of those "throw all the garbage in it and see if it sells"...
like so many Hollywood films today...
I guess since it's a Frank Sinatra motion picture they have to do their best...I don't think the
Sinatra family would settle for less.
Anybody out there heard about this Frank Sinatra movie that's in the talks?
Have you heard about that guy coughed up a nail after getting an MRI, that he had for
30 years in his head?
I never had a MRI before, ...I might have a screw loose somewhere.
The Starmaker
A Starmaker Exclusive...The Frank Sinatra movie
Monday, it's the big day!
The Starmaker
Of course, Frank Sinatra's family would know...you could ask them.
How could they make a Frank Sinatra major motion picture with a major star without
the family knowing about it?
How could that song
Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made For Walking (1966)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRkovnss7sg
be a hit?
The music is terrible, the guitar is the worse sound I ever heard, the lryics...you wanna throw up!
And she sings terrible!
I suspect, Frank Sinatra did a lot of "heavy payola", held a gun to all the radio programers head and
made them play it a million times on the radio until people believed it "must be a hit"!
There is no other logical explanation.
The Starmaker

If it's being produced via the indie route (i.e. not a studio project),
movies typically aren't announced until the full budget is in place. Talent
begins to attach with 50% in escrow but no official announcements until it's
a 100% go.
The Starmaker
Well you can call my announcement an un-official announcement...announced before the full
budget is in place. Announced before it was suppose to be announced...
How about...leaked?
How about spill the beans?
Whatever reason they wanted to "keep it quiet" "not to be anounnced", whatever their standard business
practices are...it's too late.
I'm not interested in *their* interest...or their contractual legal mumbo jumbos schumbos,

Scorsese To Do Sinatra
While talking with Sun Media recently, Frank Sinatra's youngest
daughter and film producer, Tina Sinatra, revealed that Martin
Scorsese would be directing a new biopic about Frank Sinatra.
According to Sun Media:
Sinatra admitted it is premature to officially announce Scorsese for
the biopic. Initially, she referred to the director as "the most
prominent Italian-American filmmaker" working today in Hollywood. When
Sun Media guessed Francis Ford Coppola, she said: "We adore him but he
didn't step up to it." When Scorsese's name followed, Sinatra offered
this: "I can't tell you yet but you're warmer."
Laughing, Sinatra later confirmed it was Scorsese. "You'll be reading
about it very soon ... oh, go ahead and print it, I don't care!"
Scorsese on Sinatra seems like such a no brainer it’s just weird that
its taken this long for this to come to fruition. The big question…who
could play O’l Blue Eyes?
http://www.spike.com/blog/scorsese-to-do/64662
----
The sole guess at the site was Liev Schreiber
The Starmaker
Well thank you for that. The answer to the big question, who will play o'l blue eyes is Leonardo DiCaprio.
I notice in the IMDB a few movies with Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio, but i didn't have any info
on Scorsese, cause I wait for my sources to contact me, I don't contact them...but I'm working
on it...
The Starmaker
It is my understanding now that production has already begun, to be completed in 2 years...
The Starmaker
Okay, I got a first name of the producer...Gary.
But this guy never produced a movie before.
You know how it is in Hollywood, it's not What you know, it's Who you
know.
You don't need a high school diploma, you don't need any education or
talent or any knowledge whatsoever on what it is you want to be in
Hollywood. You just need to Know someone....could be your father
or mother or brother or sister or cousin or the guy who is trying
to bang your sister, your mother, your brother or trying to bang your
father...
Maybe somebody out there can get his last name....
He used to be vice president of warner brothers...
and he sings...I think he sings in some night club called
the Catalina...might be a jazz singer.
It's hard for me to get a last name because there are so many warner
brothers vice presidents, ...must be millions of them.
anyway, now he wants to make a movie.
The Starmaker
Gary is probably running around Hollywood now asking people he Knows,
"How do I find somebody who's got a movie camera?"
charliekilo
So you're saying that this "Gary" was a vp of WB and he doesn't know any
thing about the business -- how to produce a movie? Producing isn't rocket
science, it's more project management and knowing the right people to pull
in to your project....so, knowing the right people is VERY important.
There is the "Catalina Bar & Grill" not too far from where I used to live
and they do have jazz, but I'm not sure about a former WB vp playing
there(?).
As for the education comments about producing and the industry in general,
you would be surprised. I got into the business about 12 years ago with a
business partner -- I came out of Morgan Stanley in NYC with an mba in
finance and my partner was a former regional president of AT&T. We jumped
into the business believing that we'd probably be the "smartest guys in the
room" because we believed the common (mis)perception that Hollywood is
filled with a bunch of blow-hard idiots.
Were we ever wrong! To this day, I'm still surprised with the intelligence
of most with whom we do business. A great many (most) of the executives at
production and distribution companies have advanced degrees of one form or
another and even the trades employ those with college degrees and
intelligence.

Did you miss it, or are you just one of those Hollywood people that likes to repeat
all the time
"It's not what you know, it's who you know."
"It's not what you know, it's who you know."
"It's not what you know, it's who you know."
Because that is what you're doing right now...saying
"...knowing the right people is VERY important."

want to sound like You Know something...
"It's not what you know, it's who you know."

Well, Jewish people are very smart, haven't you heard?
But still, the truth is....he never made a movie, he doesn't know How To Produce
a Movie and he is currently asking around "How do you go about producing a movie".
I don't give a fuck how smart he is, what college he went to...who he knows..
What he knows, he knows. What he doesn't know, he doesn't know.
And he "doesn't know" 'How To Produce A Movie'.
But it doesn't make any difference to me what he knows or what he doesn't know...
I'm just saying the person that is producing the Frank Sinatra movie first name is Gary.
And he used to work as vp of warner brothers, and he never made a movie before. That's it!
If you don't know his last name then you have nothing to say.

Producing is just 'putting things together'..
You know
buying a video camera
at kmart
and putting a person
in front of the camera
and uploading it to Youtube
is what being a producer is
all about!

I was just trying to say in a nice way that something with this story
doesn't sound right. Where do I start? Ok, if one was a former vp at WB, you
probably have some idea what goes into producing a movie...it's just a
project management job and requires no real special "producer
knowledge"...it's not something you can learn about by "asking around."
Additionally, there is often (usually) more than one producer on a project
this large -- occasionally as many as five or six.
As for it's not what you know but who you know, I took it that you were
implying that this "Gary" got the opportunity to produce because he knew
someone that gave him the opportunity - regardless of his knowledge/skills.
I was saying that if "Gary" actually had no experience, he was probably
given the opportunity because he knew and has access to the right people to
see the project through -- which is a legit reason to hire someone as a
producer. (Two VERY different ways of looking at your "It's who you know..."
comment)
Thee are a LOT of first time producers out there and I'm pretty sure none of
them went around asking how to produce a movie....especially if they were a
senior executive at a feature film/television studio.

I have 'no idea', what are the duties, of a -- Vice President at Warner Brothers.
It could be any number of things, or it could be just a "no show" job.
You know, one of those jobs where you got a big title but you're never there...
or maybe he was doing something important, I don't know...
Titles doesn't mean anything in Hollywood. Like a Casting Director who wants
a kickback for inserting Stars, and she asks for "Producer Credit" even though
she hasn't produce anything....
Hollywood is filled with schmucks with big titles that don't really do anything...
So VP 'vice president' titles don't mean anything but a paycheck...
Besides, from my understanding this Gary guy was fired from that vp job...
But what difference does it make, any schmuck can be a producer.
> project management job and requires no real special "producer

Well, asking around is exactly what he is doing...cause he don't know.

five or six? Where you've been?? I think I saw a movie with only two actors in
it and the producer credits were so long I think it was half the movie!!!
I remember seeing credits in that movie for anybody else but producers!
And how many of them *actually* produced anything?

Well, I don't know who gave him the opportunity...I thought producers create
their own opportunties. Maybe he went to the greenlight guy and teold him
"I wanna make a Frank Sinatra movie!" Maybe the greenlight guy is his father,
or his boyfriend. Who knows with these people...
I think he smokes pot...I don't know where he buys his pot, but if you've been
fired from warner brothers, and singing at night at a jazz club you might as well
get high.

Well, I don't know what your idea is of a producer but it *entails* a lot of work.
And I happen to know he's asking around cause that's how I found out he making a movie.
He doesn't know what to do, he's asking around...what's wrong with that? it's much faster
than reading a book on it.
Like for example, if he needs a script, they probably will tell him,
"Don't worry about it, we can steal one!"

This is beyond the call of duty!

who is producing the Frank Sinatra movie
and I wonder how did he go from
doing Soundtrack work to
being the producer of the Frank Sinatra movie?
Is it because he "thinks" he sings like Frank Sinatra?

It that the connection?
The Starmaker
Did he walk into a room and say "Hey, I sing just like Frank Sinatra, I should produce this movie!
and everybody else said, "Okay."?
I must be missing something...

Yes, you are...he's one of the EPs, not producer. I suspect he was brought
in as an EP because of his ability to help secure the rights to Sinatra's
music. EP's traditionally have few if any hands-on tasks in the making of a
movie, they bring money or other tangible assets. Right now, Scorsese is
listed as the only producer...as well a director.

There must be a long line for casting producers...I suspect there will be a thousand by 2011 listed..
(that's how you inflate production cost...)
I notice the plot reads:
Plot:
A look at how legendary performer Frank Sinatra became involved with the Mafia. |

That should be a easy one...they gave him the part "From Here To Eternity"! Some horse lost his head...

Casting producer is more of a reality TV/talk show thing and
necessary...particularily if the show is pulling cast member from multiple
locations i.e. American Idol may cast contestants from 10 or so different
cities, each city may have a casting producer assigned to each city. In the
current economic climate, the last thing a production company wants to do is
inflate production costs.
