Kinks To Become Celluloid Heroes
A Kinks biopic that has been in the works for more than three years is about to begin casting. Director Julien Temple says he’ll shoot You Really Got Me this summer. Temple, who directed Ray Davies: Imaginary Man for British TV, says the story of Davies’ overdose at White City Stadium in 1973 will bracket the film, though it will end “on a more positive note.” Temple adds that Ray and sibling Dave Davies have helped develop the script. “It’s really about the two brothers,” says Temple. “They were a punk band if there ever were such a thing. Long before Pete Townshend was smashing amps, they were smashing each other.”
Ciara’s No-Show No-No
Ciara’s listening party for her new album Jackie (due May 5) left attendees out in the cold. The R&B singer was slated to preview the LP at New York’s Gansevoort Park Avenue on March 30, but guests were turned away after the event was canceled an hour before start time. Instead, Ci Instagrammed pictures of her hanging with Calvin Klein designer Halo Zucchelli and sleeping in her hotel.
