Lionsgate gets the man, the myth, the living legend himself... Peter O'Toole for THE CHRISTMAS COTTAGE!!!

Published at:  Apr 05, 2007 8:09:48 AM CDT

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. This is a weird project to begin with. It's a movie based on a painting by Thomas Kinkade. They're using the painting as a way to shoehorn Kinkade's life story, a chronicling of events leading up to him painting that particular piece.

Peter O'Toole is just about signed to play Glen Weissler, a painter and tutor to Kinkade.

Again with the serious drama news. If I don't cut it out someone might begin to take us seriously...

    Quint - your fears are groundless

    by nachonegro

    No-one takes this site seriously, or is ever likely to. As for this news, I am optimistic.

    Quint mate, YOU are the only AICN staff

    who takes this site seriously anyway. Maybe 'Drew' too. Anyway, Peter O Toole is a legend indeed... I just hope he recovered from the losing an Oscar insult.

    THE PAINTER OF LIGHT!!!

    by erikharrison

    Oh my god. Thomas Kinkade makes the worst kind of popular crapschlock art. I threw up in my mouth at the thought.

    Too Tooly!

    by jackpumpkinhead

    Well, at least it sounds like a decent film. Which would be very unusual for Lion's Gate...

    The Painter of SHITE!!!

    by rctowns

    Kinkade's "paintings" suck ass...dead, rotting, putrid ass. Hell, it's a fucking factory of bullshit that would disgrace any cheap hotel room wall. Why, oh why, would Peter O'Toole lower himself to this?

    I LOVE Peter O'Toole. I'm a major fan. I can't watch Lawrence of Arabia too many times. But, "the man, the myth, the legend"? You're talking about the wrong Peter. You're talking about Peter North.

    What's next?

    A Sandra Boynton biopic about how she turned dancing pigs and grinning cats into an empire of greeting cards, coffee mugs, children's books and plushies?

    Peter O'Toole was drunk in every scene of Lassie

    Drunk, plastic surgerized, but alive, dammit.
