John Waters Returns!


John Waters is back and is as crazy as ever! Waters newest project is called Fruitcake and its plot sounds about as odd as one would expect from a Waters film...oh and IT"S A CHRISTMAS MOVIE.

Fruitcake centers on the title character, a boy named after his favorite dessert. He runs away from home during the holidays after he and his parents are caught shoplifting meat, then meets up with a runaway girl raised by two gay men who is searching for her birth mother.

Waters is returning to the directors chair for the first time since his NC-17 flop A Dirty Shame (2004). Johnny Knoxville and Parker Posey have already signed on to the project. Both are solid indie actors that seem tailor made for John Water characters.

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw some cameos from many of the previous John Waters players or some of the cast members of the remake of Hairspray.

I was raised on Hairspray (the movie, not my parents spraying aerosol cans in my face...although it may explain a few things), so I am always excited when a new Waters film comes along.
