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.
