Lennon Gives Birth to ‘Coin Locker Babies’
Posted by under Uncategorized
Cameras are set to roll on a bizarre new film, co-scripted by Sean Lennon.
“Sean ’son of John’ Lennon has co-written a script that is set to go into
production later this year.
This isn’t just any ordinary script, but rather the most insane story
we’ve heard in a while: a surreal odyssey that takes place in the weird and
wonderful world of late 20th-century Japan.
‘Coin Locker Babies’ (which is based on the Japanese bestseller of the
same name by Ryu Murakami) tells the tale of two unwanted infants abandoned in
adjacent train station lockers at birth.
Following a stint in an orphanage and some serious hypnotherapy, the pair
are then raised as brothers before moving to Toxitown, a polluted city
full of freaks and hustlers.
Once there, one of the brothers becomes a transvestite rocker looking for
fame and love, the other a pole vaulter whose girlfriend encourages him to
destroy Tokyo.
So it’s safe to say this one won’t exactly be mainstream…
Lennon has co-written the screenplay with Jordan Galland, Peter Kline and
Michele Civetta, who will also direct the film.
There is no word on cast as yet, but Liv Tyler, Vincent Gallo, Asia
Argento and Val Kilmer are all currently in talks to star in the film.”
