Russ Meyer bio-pix in works (again) — George Clooney for the lead?

That casting suggestion comes via Alexander of Hollywood, who used to party/live with the remnants of the Meyer ensemble in L.A. I think he’s got a point.

I propose American Idol’s Adam Lambert as John “Z-Man” LaZar.

(But who will portray Roger Ebert…?

(UPDATE: Lynn Crosbie via email suggests Kathy Bates.)

The Russ Meyer Story has been rumored to be in the hands of the guys who did Ed Wood and The People vs. Larry Flynt for years, but it looks like they lost the rights or something…
