The project was never dead...The project had lack of financing but never lack of passion of the the likes of Gerry and many others to get it off the ground. It was looking like G might get too old before he could play Burns but I think he is aging backwards in the past year.
Im so happy its a go or seems like it. Seems to be as many rumors about this film as there are about Bradgelina's relationship woes!

As far as G's body goes. I dont think Gerry can get down to be stick thin or should do that. I am sure he will get tone without getting too muscley, but I doubt his Barbados body will be suitable. LOL.
I know this is a little off topic, but does anyone wonder how G went from Barbados to looking so thin, in shape at the GG's?!?!?! I think he had on a shaper! If women wear them, why not men when the time calls. They were working his torso on Access Hollywood with his jacket unbottoned and he had not one budge of fat. That is not magic, that was support. Good for him!!! Nothing wrong with that, but I am sure he is back on the wagon and getting into movie fighting shape.

At the most he was ten pounds overweight, (maybe not even that much)would not take too long for any guy to lose most of that in 10 days time, particularly if he did his detox fast for the first few days and started working out. The rest would be a matter of firming up the gut. Not sure if he would have let the girls run their hands over his torso if he was wearing a corset, unless it was something along the lines of a spandex type tee shirt. And his face was thinner at the Globes. So only Gerry knows for sure if he was wearing support under the tux. But hey Prince, if it turns you on that Gerry was wearing a sexy girdle .....

There is a thing called the mirdle, which is a men's girdle and why not, women have girdles and Spanx, I got those Spanx panties that come up to your bust line or the all in one suck it all in. I saw a TV segement on corsets and that they can actually permanently make your waist smaller, that is what ladies did in the days when corsets were common, that many women now will wear these corsets all the time and can get those 19 - 20 inch waists and that really bizarre hourglass shape. I think they are crazy but you know I don't get the petite women who get H cup implants?
You do what you gotta do until you get back into fighting shape with training. Better than that being anoerxic or bulimic or doing other things that are bad for your health in the long run.
I guess it all depends on how the schedule goes and what he has to look like for each of his movies. For Coriolanus though he won't sadly be running around in a toga I would imagine he would want to look imposing as an army commander even if he is wearing a German army or SS inspired uniform but they may not want him to look more imposing than Ralph Fiennes, who is usually in good shape but he is normally still smaller than GB without all the bulk. Now for Machine Gun Preacher, not sure what that might require. I bet any money we will be getting the moustache though, that's Sam Childers most distinquishing feature. This will be new.

Hey that looks better than Spanx actually, should check the women's line, ha. Looks more comfortable.

Well, seriously now, i'd prefer NOT to have a full frontal, cause that means it would be banned or X-rated at the other side of Atlantic - we, the inhabitants of jollie old Europe are a little bit too whicked and with much less sensibilities...we'be had a history you know, Casanova, Don Juan....Robert Burns....we're getting used to this kind of carnal sins ! Me neither Sass, the movie isn't going to be appealing to most audiences because of Burns, I guess if it was X rated few people would go to see it (except all of us, of course!!). I'm happy this project is finally going to start, especially because.. they shoot in Edinburgh.... Muahahaha...

A friend of mine who saw Sex and the City said that she was shocked that movie had male full frontal in it. It was rated R. While rare, it does happen occasionally in R rated movies. The guy just has to be fully "relaxed" for it to stay R.
Sex scenes make me a little uncomfortable at the theater, on DVD not as much. Still, I'd probably go see it just because it's Gerry.
What's funny is as an English teacher you'd think I'd be all familiar with Burns' poetry, but honestly I've always skipped over it. Of course I'm familiar with Auld Lang Syne, but "To A Mouse" and "To a Louse" are not favorites of mine, and these types are the poems in English textbooks unfortunately. Give me Dylan Thomas any day.
Still, I think this will be an interesting story, and I think it'll be more about the man than the poetry itself.

Last full male frontal I saw (in the movies that is...LOL) was in The Hangover. It was that asian guy that leaped out of the trunk completely nude and must have jumped 6 ft to straddle the one guys head, it was one of the funniest scenes I saw last year.

Clothes can cover up a magnitude of sins.

As far as what his body should look like playing Burns...Just because he was poor dosen't in those days mean emaciated. You can be poor and still grow or hunt enough to keep you well fed. I have a feeling that at 6'2" 190lbs is his goal weight 180 would be thin enough. Btw the 6 pack abs...they had to work had to survive. some people just have them. My son Wesley never works out but at 6' and 145 lbs he always has a 6 pack. When he wrestled he actually had and 8 pack.
