Double cross (dressed): JT Leroy gets meta movie treatment
You've read the book about the cross-dressing teen prostitute from West Virginia?
Check.
You've heard about the movie based on the book about the cross-dressing teen prostitute from West Virginia?
Check.
But are you ready for the movie about the book and the movie about the cross-dressing teen prostitute from West Virginia and, of course, the lies they both told?
My old pal Ian Mohr at Variety's Gotham office has a piece today about the latest JT Leroy fracas: With a bigscreen adaptation of "Leroy's" "The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things," from Asia Argento opening next week, Ian reports that The Weintstein Company is now preparing another film - about the LeRoy hoax - based on articles by The New York Times' Warren St. John.
Full disclosure: We plan to make a movie about the making of that movie. Who wouldn't?
