Gotcha?
April 1st is a big day for movie blogs. It’s almost expected: “Damon and Affleck sign on for Police Academy XIII!” and that kind of thing. (CH scrupulously avoided such tomfoolery, and by “scrupulously avoided” I mean “totally flaked.” And anyway, I’m a terrible liar, even in print or pixel or whatever it is we’re calling it.) The worst thing is, though, that sometimes real, honest-to-goodness casting news slips through on April 1st, only to be roundly mocked.
And so, in the spirit of the day, I give you a few announcements (past and present) that should have been April Fools Day jokes…but weren’t:
Travolta, Whitaker Bring Scientology’s Roots to Big Screen!
Ricci to Don Pig Nose for Penelope
…Someone (?) Makes Deaf Vampire Movie Entirely in ASL
Denise Richards Earns Fake Ph.D. for Bond Film
Michael Jackson to Make Film, Grab Crotch
Hulk Hogan to Ditch Sleeves on Santa’s Suit to Better Show Off Guns
And one more, opening this month:
Morgan Spurlock to Ditch McDonalds, Find Bin Laden
Here’s to April, folks.
April Fools Day, April Fool’s Day, April Fools’ Day
