Morning Deal Report: Alan Parker Does It His Way

Posted by Peter Smith

Apparently Sid Vicious biographer Alan Parker has some beef with Alex Cox's 1986 Sid and Nancy. He's making his own Vicious biopic, which I guess will make clear to us all that Sid Vicious was actually a genius and totally nice guy.

The inevitable Night at the Museum sequel may feature Reese Witherspoon as Amelia Earhart.

Looks like that long-rumored miniseries adaptation of A People's History of the United States is on its way.

I love the idea of the man who made MISSISSIPPI BURNING having problems with the historical veracity of someone else's movie.

Sadly, this is a different Alan Parker:

this guy (www.imdb.com/.../nm2569672)

not this one (www.imdb.com/.../nm0000570)

Wow. Can the world even take TWO Alan Parkers?

Seems like we're having enough trouble with one.  After all, the guy hasn't made a movie since THE LIFE OF DAVID GALE, which considering how that one turned out is OK by me.
