8/3: Cowell seeking “Idol” flick
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Sure, there was “From Justin to Kelly,” or as we in the reality world would consider our “Gigli.” But Simon Cowell seems struck on the idea of a “Rocky”-type film set in “Idol” land..
The movie’s plot is a hybrid of a fictionalized American Idol-like show and Alan Parker’s 1980s’ film Fame. “Star Struck” follows the lives of ten celebrity-hungry contestants as they pursue their fifteen minutes. “The story is told through the eyes of those ten contestants,” Cowell told Rolling Stone. “We want it to be the musical version of Rocky — an underdog story, a feel-good film. Fame was all about young people wanting to be famous, and in order to do that, they enrolled in a drama school; everyone who wants to be famous today signs up for American Idol.”
