John Malkovich: Mr. Mudd = movies, movies, movies
XuAlex
suspense drama based on a novel by Gordon Lish; "The Dancer Upstairs", a police
thriller; and "Baby Doc", a satire written by Malkovich and Pierre Hodgson.
Eighteen months after its formation, Malkovich's production company, Mr. Mudd,
is in pre-production on "Ghost World", with plans for Malkovich to produce
fifteen movies.
"Ghost World" is a low-budget movie based on a comic novella by Dan Clowes.
Terry Zwigoff will direct.
Mr. Mudd also has its fingers in "Kill the Poor", described as a dramedy. Alan
Taylor will direct and Daniel Handler has written the script. It's from a novel
by Joel Rose.
Mr. Mudd has sold the pilot "Shampoo Planet" to CBS. It's based on the novel by
Douglas Coupland.
Among Mr. Mudd’s other projects are “Art School Confidential", with Terry
Zwigoff attached to direct; “Found in the Street", based on the novel by
Patricia Highsmith for Steppenwolf co-founder Terry Kinney to helm; “The Gold
of Exodus", written by John Sayles, based on the novel by Howard Blum, and set
up at Castle Rock Entertainment; “The Libertine", penned by Stephen Jeffreys
based on his play; and “One Last Thing", by writer Nicholas Klein (“Million
Dollar Hotel,” “The End of Violence”).
Malkovich, who formed Mr. Mudd in 1998 with producing partners Lianne Halfon
and Russell Smith, told Daily Variety, “We are interested in strong stories --
well written, intelligent and vaguely commercial on some level.”
Although his performance in indie pic “Being John Malkovich” has thrown him
back in the public eye, Malkovich said, “I don’t follow the vagaries of whether
you’re cool today or not. I love producing because that means you are
responsible for the whole production according to your liking, not someone
else’s.”
