According to industry sources, Robert Pattinson is slated to be in a new movie from Mirimax called, "Johnny Sphincter," based on the life of a man who was tragically injured when the seat of his motorcycle fell off trying to jump 13 garbage cans.
The movie is mainly a courtroom drama, after Sphincter tries to get reconstructive surgery on his colon, but is denied coverage by his insurance company, who consider it elective surgery.
His case is argued by Joe Pesci, who takes on the insurance company's defense team who bring in expert witnesses to say reconstructive surgery is uncessesary, like the owner of The Colostomy Bag Warehouse, Abe Vigoda, and a man who lost his colon in a skiing accident.
Most are already familiar with the story, after the doo wop classic by Frankie and the Nutsacks, who turned it into a concept album of the same name, which wielded multiple hits, like "Don't kick me there," "The Sphincter of Earl" and the title track, which sold over 7 million copies in the US and Venezuela.
The movie boasts cameo appearances by members of the Nutsacks, who gained popularity in the 50's for their tales of teen tragedy and habit of wearing athletic supporters and batting helmets on stage.
The movie is scheduled to be released in July with a sountrack by Randy Newman, and remakes of Nutsack classics by Boyz II Men, Barbara Streisand and Christina Aguilera. Watch for it next summer.
