It’s been several sunrises since Gummo creator Harmony Korine’s last feature film, but all you fans out there (that includes Sly Stallone) can soak up the view – we’ve got a couple of production pics for Mister Lonely.
Co-written by his brother Avi Korine, the film offers a smorgasbord of Hollywood walk of fame alumni. This is a yarn about a young American lost in Paris, eking out a living as a Michael Jackson (Luna) lookalike. By co-incidence, he meets Marilyn Monroe (Morton). He follows her to a commune in Scotland, joining her husband Charlie Chaplin (Lavant) and her daughter Shirley Temple. Fellow residents include The Pope, The Queen of England (Pallenberg), Madonna and James Dean. The drama is also partly set In a Brazilian forest where a community of missionary nuns bring aid to the locals.
Michael Winterbottom’s cinematographer Marcel Zyskind lensed the film produced by Nadja Romain. Korine’s 3rd picture was filmed in Scotland, Panama and France – world sales are handled by Celluloid Dreams.
