Beyonce And Eva To Play Lovers In "Tipping The Velvet"

New York, New York (BANG) - Hot, scandalous and spicy, just the way they like it. Many men will be sure not to miss this movie when it comes out in the near future.
Beyoncй and Eva Longoria recently revealed they will soon be playing lesbian lovers in a new sexy flick and be the subject of many men's wet dreams.
The gorgeous stars have revealed they are set to star in the sexy Victorian drama "Tipping The Velvet."
Eva, 31, said, "Yes it's true. We are talking about doing the movie together. It's such a wonderful novel, a beautiful love story."
Director Sofia Coppola is hoping to bring Sarah Water's novel about sexual repression to the big screen and is anxious for Beyoncй and Eva to take the roles of 1890s music hall star Kitty Butler, and her lesbian lover Nan Astley.
Beyonce, 25, thinks it is time the world was treated to a classic lesbian love story.
The singer, who was speaking at a New York benefit for ovarian cancer, said, "We've had 'Brokeback Mountain' so the time is right for this divine novel to get the same treatment."
Beyoncй and Eva are said to be incredibly excited about the steamy love scenes and can't wait for filming to begin.
A source revealed, "They weren't at all coy about the sex scenes. In fact they both seemed to think it would be more fun than doing the same work with a man. It's going to be very hot."
The BBC's TV adaptation of "Tipping The Velvet" caused outrage four years ago with its graphic sex scenes, which included cross-dressing and the use of sex toys.
ok, i think the lead-in sentence sums up why i cannot trust this movie. really, it theoretically could have such potential... and i know that the film studio may or may not have had anything to do with the story angle..... but i have just such little faith in hollywood...... and, despite the scintillation factor, i'm willing to bet they will down size the "sex toy".
we can't possibly risk emasculating the firm american men, who this movie is clearly for, now can we?

Date: 2006-11-11 06:43 pm (UTC)I wouldn't trust this write-up at all. They have Kitty Butler as the main character when indeed, she is not. Kitty only figures heavily into ONE of the episodes of the British three-part series and ONE of the sections of the three-part novel. Nan is the narrator, the main character, the person in whom the audience invests. Plus, the BBC version actually does justice to the "steamy" love scenes - should the new version get any more graphic, they are going beyond the text. When will Americans realize that understated is hotter than explicit? UGH.
On the upside, if it contributes towards the legitimization of lesbian relationships in a non-sexual realm (the way Brokeback undeniably did), whatev. I still have my BBC version and my novel and my ability to say no to the corporates.
