07.15.09 HELL YES! A WINGS MOVIE! FINALLY!
The 12 years since Wings went off the year have been like a bad dream full of emptiness and pain. But finally, according to Variety, the cast is reuniting to bring the story of the wacky Hackett Brothers to the big screen! Hold on, I’m reading something…
Disney has acquired screen rights to the young adult novel “Wings” and will develop the bestselling Aprilynne Pike title as a star vehicle for Miley Cyrus. Pic will be developed for Cyrus to play Laurel, a 15-year-old who grows up sheltered and home-schooled in a small town. Adjusting to a big high school is difficult, and her suspicion that she’s not like the other kids becomes a reality when she sprouts a pair of wings and learns that she’s a fairy. Published in May, the novel is the first of a planned four-book series. [Variety]
Aw, crap. Another false alarm. Maybe you’ll eat next month, Steven Weber. Also: I always wonder if the fact that all redneck chicks dye their hair blonde now was influenced by Disney’s lazy ass plot devices. Ten bucks says this movie will start with Miley Cyrus will be getting pushed around in the cafeteria, then they’ll throw a blonde wig on her, and Holy sh*t, she’s a fairy princess!
PS: “Aprilynne”? F-ck off.

Sorry, Vince. The magic is dead. Americans just won’t believe that they let a middle eastern looking guy spend that much time at an airport without being searched, even if he is Tony Shalhoub.
Steven Weber hasn’t been this pissed off since Jennifer Jason Leigh stabbed him with a stiletto.
The last time I had a hard time in high school was with some winged Kotex pads….
This is actually a true-life story of Perez Hilton’s life in high school.
If the last movie thread was a metaphor about dating a stripper then this one is definitely a metaphor about becoming one.
Just another allegorical tale of female puberty and that first rag. [yawn] I liked it better when it was called Carrie.
My expectations for a Wings movie ever being made are very Lowell.
My screenplay is about a teenage boy who discovers he’s a fairy when he opens a Twilight book.
Wings? A movie about maxi-pad marketing devices? Color me there, baybeeee!
My screenplay is about when Linda McCartney joined Wings. The timeless lesson for teenage girls is the value of banging the lead singer.
Kirstie Alley just ordered this movie at the Cheesecake Factory, with a side of everything else on the menu.
I’m getting into this movie free with a can of Red Bull.
There’s no way I’m getting buffaloed into seeing this.
This is bullshit, Mancini. You don’t make light of a Crystal Bernard return.
You want a spoiler? Just turn the film upside down.
Haven’t you heard, “fairy” is now considered a pejorative term, they want to be known as “nature divas” now. I’m completely serious. I wish I know what
retardmental midgetintellectually challenged little person thought that one up.Tim Daly loosened the noose, just for a moment.
Fuck, that means Weber will still be living in my attic.
