JOHN HOLMES CINEMATIC MOVIE: Wonderland
Genre: Crime/Drama/Biography.
Studio: Lions Gate Films.
Production Company: Killer Films/Lions Gate Films.
Project Phase: Greenlighted.
Who's In It: Val Kilmer (John C. Holmes); Kate Bosworth (Dawn Schiller); Christina Applegate (Susan Lawnius); Tim Blake Nelson (Billy Devereaux); Lisa Kudrow (Sharon Holmes); Tim Roth (Eddie Nash); Ted Levine (Detective Sam Nico); Josh Lucas (Ron Lawnius); Carrie Fisher (Sallie Hansen); Frankie G.; M.C. Gainey; Janeane Garofalo; Natasha Gregson Wagner; Eric Bogosian; Dylan McDermott.
Who's Making It: James Cox (Director, Screenwriter); Captain Mauzner, Todd Samovitz, D. Loriston Scott (Screenwriters); based on the novel Porn King: The Autobiography of John C. Holmes by Fred Basten.
Premise: Biopic chronicling the rise to fame and fall from grace of adult film star John Holmes. Holmes appeared in over 2500+ pornographic movies in the late 1960's and early 70's, but by 1978 had serious financial difficulties brought about by his $1500 a day cocaine habit. To relieve his money woes, Holmes resorted to petty theft and drug running for a nightclub owner and drug kingpin named Eddie Nash, then allegedly robbed Nash's house of $250,000 in cash, jewelry and drugs. Reportedly, Nash figured out who committed the robbery and forced Holmes to rat out his accomplices, who were then bludgeoned to death at Nash's split-level home on Wonderland Avenue in Laurel Canyon, a neighbourhood of Los Angeles, on July 1st 1981.
Release Date: 2003.
Comments: If this story sounds familiar to some, it was used as the basis for a scene in Paul Thomas Anderson's film Boogie Nights. The filmmakers of Wonderland have discovered that there are so many versions of what happened on that particular day, their own story of what happened on that summer night in 1981 will be told from multiple perspectives. The Wonderland crime was also notable as being the first time a crime scene was videotaped in order to be used as evidence in a trial.
Rumors: None.
