Rumor has it that he has a vampire film in the works
Tommy Wiseau's Twilight would surely be the greatest movie ever.

I can definitely see him as some sort of weird Phantom of the Opera-esque vampire because he already looks that way anyway.

Saw this tonight at a sorta midnight screening at Cinema 21. The theater staff had a large of soundtrack cds that they gave away free.
The film itself was sublime. Here's Tommy talking to the local alt-weekly in a nice long interview: http://www.portlandmercury.com/portland/interview-with-tommy-wiseau/Content?oid=1573119
...Can you tell me more about the vampire movie you're working on?Well this we may shoot at Austin, Texas, but I am... well, it'll be something unique, let's put it this way. So that's basically it. I think that a vampire, generally speaking, is an equal survivor of human behavior, somewhat to certain degrees, which is prolonging the life, if I may say that. So but. Whatever people believe in vampire or I believe in vampire, that's irrelevant, because I think the topic is, it's much more deep which actually relates to human behavior if you really think about it. Of course, all that stuff, it's sort of assumption and a lot of fantasy go into it. But the probability is very high if you really think about it, how you can prolong your life—have different blood type, or what is the....I think this technology, you look at around you, we go so up, that I believe 10 years from today we probably don't need a doctor. You will have your own doctor, computers will say, "Okay, your sugar level is too low, you have to eat this or that, etc., etc." You know what I mean. Actually, I want to make a movie about this one, too, something like that. But the vampire is a very exciting project that I'm working on currently, yes.Is that something you're writing?I already have two scripts for vampires—100 page scripts. We do one at a time.Are there two separate movies?Yes. Two separate movies.Are they connected, plot-wise? Is one a sequel of the other one?Actually, one is connected somewhat. And one, I give you one clue, that it's connected to all the vampires which you see in the entire world. So it's very deep in the depth. Okay? And, um, [laughs] yeah I have crazy ideas right now, but I don't... Okay, I will tell you anyway. It's too bad that some other people are very snobbish, people who produce vampires movie. Because my vampires are very much connected to all the vampires, let's put it this way. So, I'm not giving more to you [laughs].

Ok, so the soundtrack cd i was given wasn't actually a cd at all, but a promo dvd with trailers & such. This will be most effective in spreading the infection.

Oh man a Wiseau vampire movie would be so perfect.

Oh hi, thread.
Saw this last weekend at a latenight screening theyre currently doing in Melb for a few weeks. The amount of screaming and cheering at the screen was amazing - got a bit annoying at times cos couldn't hear the dialogue, not that it really mattered.
Spoons EVERYWHERE, oh the humanity.
And do other screenings shout out implications at the end that Mark and Denny are giving Johnny's dead body a blowjob!?. Because they did here. Eww.

The bit where he trashes the house and tosses the TV out the window had the entire cinema screaming with cheers like a rock gig. I was crying with laughter because suddenly the bed was downstairs instead of upstairs, whaaaaat the fuck.

LOL even that trailer is as all over the place as the actual plot! Like the Denny vs Chris-R thing - what the heck happened? WHERE DID HE GO?
And at the party - who the fuck was that guy who started lecuturing Lisa. WHO THE HELL WAS HE. No introduction, nothing.
TVs behind couches. Endless continuity gaffes. Bad green-screening. TERRIBLE SEX SCENES. Whats not to love.

after seeing Tommy Wiseau and his fat, flabby ass banging away at some barely-legal skank not once, but TWICE, in this film w/ some generic R. Kelly-clone slow jamz blaring in the background -- i knew that this film crossed SOME sort of line that should never be crossed.

Does anyone else feel like the underwear story guy is a huge ham and maybe the only actor who realized how awful the whole production was? Every scene I see him in, he seems like he's super hamming it up.

Oh I forgot about the tape thing, that was hilarous.
The film was *so consistently bad and incoherent* that I couldn't help wondering if it was deliberate, though people who worked on the film insist he really is just crap, so...
