House of Sand and Fog

Oliver Twist

Sexy Beast

There’s some great stuff there Mr. Kingsley. Really powerful movies, where you put in some great performances… especially the first two on that list. I know your a veteran now and sometimes it’s nice to do a movie that’s a little less serious than others like last year when you shot Lucky Number Slevin.

I get that. You wanna sometimes do the Jack Nicholson Anger Management role or the Robert De Niro Meet the Parents gig. I get it. But not this one with Michael Myers.  You should have stayed well away from The Love Guru.

The Hollywood Reporter say that Kingsley will play Guru Tugginmypudha, an ashram leader who teaches Michael Myers how to love himself.

Your so much better than this Mr. Kingsley.

Shooting begins on Friday in Toronto for a June 20th 2008 release. Marco Schabnel makes his feature debut on the flick which will co-star Justin Timberlake, Jessica Alba, Romany Malco, Verne Troyer, Meagan Good and John Oliver.

  1. This isn’t near as bad as his involvement with the travesty that was Bloodrayne (and Dungeon Siege). I see this as a step in the right direction.
