[Caught between reality and hallucinations, hopelessness and
hope, intoxication and sobriety, Thomas Dekker's new film Whore explores the dark side of people's inability to let go of their dreams even in
the face of the harshest life. A large group of teens living on the streets of
Hollywood and selling their bodies to stay alive struggle with the movie
business that continues to slam one door after another in their face. The film
dives deeply into their mental escapes and fantasies, the only thing that can relieve
them of the dire situation they've found themselves in and the toll that
futureless hope can take on their friends, family, and most
importantly...themselves.]
Don't forget the tagline: "Hollywood - how can it hurt you when it looks so good?"
It's in post-production, with no release date in sight. As VideoGum says:
[This definitely seems like one of those movies that only
gets a release after someone in it gets famous, in this case Megan Fox. Sorry
"Smoking Girl" Rumer Willis, and Ron Jeremy, your stunt-casting doesn't count.]
Of course, the irony of casting both Megan and Rumer in this film isn't lost on me. Neither one of those girls has exactly had to struggle in the rough-n-tumble entertainment industry. Still, I'd be curious to see how these bizarre elements come together in a movie. Will we get a chance to find out - or will we just have to hope that footage of Megan Fox washing Michael Bay's car gets released?
