Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Jude Law... Possible
Contenders to Play Real-Life "Penis
Enlargement Junkie"?
By
Lawrence Reinman
Well, it was
only a matter of time.
The hilarious,
incredulous, and controversial true-life story of
self-proclaimed "Penis Enlargement Junkie"
Marvin Terrell is finally making its way to the big
screen, and the film's producers are hoping to snag a
major Hollywood actor to portray the role.
A few
potential names on the casting wishlist include
box-office
megastars George Clooney, Jude Law, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt,
and Johnny Depp. Wishful thinking, perhaps?
Marvin
Terrell's quest for "extra inches" was
chronicled in his 2004 autobiography "Confessions of
a Penis Enlargement Junkie". After nearly two
years of popping hundreds of male enhancement supplements
and pumping with assorted enlargement devices and
contraptions, Terrell succeeded in adding an extraordinary
three inches to his modestly-sized genitalia. But at
a heavy price. His obsession with penile enlargement
cost him his job, his family, and, it goes without saying,
his self-esteem.
The independent film, tentatively titled "Penis
Enlargement Junkie", is being co- produced by Nordic
Voyage Films and Mayday Productions. Madison Roth
("Visions")
will direct the script, penned by Jonathan Hechner
("Magic Playground", "Crawling With
Confidence").
While some of the minor roles in the
film have already been cast, the central role of Marvin
Terrell is
still anyone's guess. According to Nordic Voyage
Films president Davis Greening, no official offers have
been made to the producers' dreamleads.
"Of
course we'd love to have a Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp strap
on the proverbial pump and tackle the role", says
Greening. "However the source material may be a bit
edgy for actors of this caliber. We're gonna start
with the A-list and work our way down. If Matt Damon
is uninterested or unavailable, I'm sure we can make an
offer to Corey Feldman or Tony Danza."
"It
should make a great film", says director Roth.
"It's the classic tale of one man's quest for the unreachable
star. It's funny, heartbreaking.. but ultimately
inspiring. The movie, like the book, should give men all
over the world a newfound sense of hope. I expect it will
also create a surge of interest in the penile enhancement
industry. Pumps, pills, stretching devices... everything
that Marvin used to achieve his impossible dream." Needless
to say, interest in the movie continues to, uh... grow.
