John Malkovich: Flipping Uncle Kimono Movie

I noticed your exclusive coverage of John Malkovich's 'Klimt' shoot in Vienna, and was quite impressed. I thought I'd pass this along.... I'm not sure if it's really a 'scoop', but could be of interest to you or your audience.

I recently co-produced a 'documentary' with John Malkovich entitled 'John Malkovich: Flipping Uncle Kimono'.  Naturally, as most things that involve Mr. Malkovich...it's a bit out of the ordinary...

Here's a synopsis: John Malkovich: Flipping Uncle Kimono: Actor/Designer John Malkovich summons a television crew to Milan to document and participate in his unconventional fashion show.  Rather then using regular models, Mr. Malkovich plans to have 20 Judo fighters beat each other up while wearing his designs.

They will do this in front of a live audience, with Mr. Malkovich directing all the action.  He will also direct the Television crew as they film the event.  The Hollywood star has 3 days to pull this unusual spectacle together.

We follow Mr. Malkovich as he oversees fittings,  attempts to choreograph a group of Italian fighters, and drives to the factory where his clothes are manufactured . Along the way, we learn of his mother's agorophobia; that his children think he's a loser, and the voracious eating habits of his wife.

This one hour 'documentary' also features Mr. Malkovich's thoughts on life as a celebrity; examples of his superior driving skills, and the ongoing mystery of the 'lost pants'. It's the best Documentary featuring Judo, Fashion, and John Malkovich you'll see all year! Fashion Television/Mrs. Mudd production. (Mrs. Mudd is the name of John Malkovich's fashion company).
