Paul Oaks sent us a link to this rather odd story about Michael Jackson.
NEW YORK – It’s an odd idea for a movie, even for Michael Jackson (news).
“Jersey Girl” director Kevin Smith (news) says he once got an offer
to direct the pop singer in a movie about a man who turns into a car that
gets ridden around by a boy.
Smith tells Playboy magazine that Jackson wanted to play the car/man role.
The proposed title of the film, and Smith says this is no lie, was “Hot
Rod.” Smith calls it the “weirdest” script he was ever asked
to direct.
