Page Six reports that Spike Lee wants to stage a revival of “Stalag 17,” the 1951 play about POWs that was made into a classic World War II movie by Billy Wilder.
Nobody cares, we know, but consider this: Lee will stage the revival on Broadway early next year, with Clive Owen in the role of the camp commandant and with Mark Wahlberg topping the list of actors to play the William Holden character.
Drool.
We don't give much of a poopoo about Broadway here at Las Latinas (unless Chita Rivera is involved in ANY way, shape, or form), but this collaboration caught our attention, so we're planning on getting drunk and then crashing our moto into the theater. We hope to end many a life that night, and we already weep at the gays lost in the struggle.
The Flaming Lips will team up with acclaimed TV writer and show creator Aaron Sorkin to turn the group's 2002 album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots into a Broadway musical.
