Ok, I’m still amazed by how many people out there have still not seen Moulin Rouge. It was a film that totally surprised me from start to finish. It was nothing like what I was expecting. It easily makes it into my top 20 favorite films of all time. The whole thing is just such a damn fine work of art… and your girlfriend will LOVE you for renting it with her… TRUST ME.
According to the good folks over at Moviehole, Ewan McGregor and I sort of think the same way, and he’s looking to get a sequel made. I’m all for it!
According to ITV, the “Star Wars” actor – who does have a killer voice, now that I think of it – is trying to persuade movie bosses to do a sequel to his 2001 hit.
“I’ve never done anything like it. There’s never been anything like it. The opportunity to sing and dance and be part of a company like that. It felt like we were in the circus”, he says. “It was an extraordinary experience going to work every day – the colour, the music, the crazy Baz. It was fantastic. I’d do it all again tomorrow. I’d be quite happy to make Moulin Rouge! II.”
I can’t emphasize this enough… if you haven’t seen Moulin Rouge… go get it tonight. I’d be in line to see it’s sequel in a second! McGregor probably just wants an excuse to snuggle with Nicole Kidman again… and get paid for it. Lucky bastard.
