I happened upon this bit of information with a slightly bizarre tinge (if the word 'slightly' at all suffices) whilst visiting one of my favourite sites IMDb.com (Internet Movie Database).

Well, this claims that Morrissey is to appear? act? and also compose the music in an upcoming film (a Romantic Comedy at that) titled "Step Into My World" (2003), written by Paul McGuigan and Gil Everett. Apparently, it is currently in production in England.

Anyway, here is a link IMDb.com gives as to different resources, magazine articles and such. Hopefully, at least the December issue of "Premiere" is still on the shelves as that's one that is listed.

I have no idea what this film is about or if this is even really happening or actually going to happen. I just thought that perhaps others may shed some light on this otherwise absurd revelation of Morrissey acting in a 'Romantic Comedy'!

Morrissey is indeed listed in the cast overview (playing himself) and the movie is listed in his 'filmography' if you click on the link to his name. "Suedehead" and "Interlude" are listed as songs in the film.

  • Moz looks uncomfortable enough IN HIS OWN VIDEOS. Why on earth would he subject himself to another medium of torture? I think to much influence from his movie-producing buddy Stipe. Bad Advice.

  • Check this quote from the bio section of the above link: "Known for his strangling croon, depressing but witty lyrics, and high hair". I'm sure the LA basedsinger/biographer/poet/songwriter and aspiring luvvie is highly pleased with that personal description.

    They mention that he now lives in a house once owned by Greta "I vont to vee alone" Garbo. How appropriate is that! If the 'mooooovie' is a big flop we'll never see him again full stop.

  • And suddenly, someone screams "LINE???"

    I'm happy to hear it. But, the thing I don't understand is...he's so damn camera shy.

    I don't know.

    But, then again, being yourself in a movie isn't quite acting.

    Maybe he's been studying acting or something all this time while being in LA - new career.

    I'm happy for him if it's what he wants to do. I think he did say something about acting once, or producing. Something to do with FILM, anyway. I wonder if it's just an appearance = walk on, walk off, type thing.

    To me, it's almost like a quote Morrissey once said "People see me in a swimming pool, and they're wondering 'what's Morrissey doing in a swimming pool?'" (or something like that), Point being - WHY IS IT SO HARD TO BELIEVE THAT I ACTUALLY DO HAVE A LIFE AND INDEED ENJOY DOING CERTAIN THINGS. I usually have a very open mind as far as the things Morrissey gets himself into, but I guess this one kinda blows my mind!

    But, I still think it's fantastic and I'll be the first person in my town in line to see it!

    Break a leg, Morrissey!

  • First, does ANYONE really beleive this? Anyone?!
    I agree with whatever the guy a few posts up said, is L.A getting to our man Mozz? Hell, maybe he has been possesed by the ghost of Greta Garbo.

    If this IS true then I am mother f'n floored!!! If not, then THIS is the best rumour of the dying days of 2001.

  • An item about Morrissey's future plans or to say
    it better,Morrissey is still busy with his career,
    and I'm suprised that the responses I read were only about his acting, while I'm exited about
    the fact that he's writing or even singing a song
    [maybe more], that means fresh new songs which
    we're so long waiting for.

  • So Morrissey's extra weird life plot thickens. A 42 y.o. on a romantic comedy. I don't know what to say except for:
    1- I'm not entirely surprised;
    2-Jonathan Richman already did the cult pop icon cameo thing;
    3-from the artistic p.o.v., absolutely nothing but new songs matter at this moment; I wonder if His Mozzness really should use his genius, time and energy on a movie. Not as bad as hanging out with Courtney, but still.
    Kudos for Klee Girl for digging up the most interesting (if disarming) Moz info since the Legge mp3s.

  • After seeing Morrissey in Brookside (a English soap) years ago, I hope his acting skills have improved.

    Will the film have a small part for Karen Grant. I wonder what she is doing now.

  • This rumour has done the rounds before!
    A decade ago Morrissey was set to appear in a film set in sixties gangland London. That film failed to materialise and I suspect that this film will fail to materialise with too.

  • ...Apparently Morrissey was asked to re-enact the famous orgasm scene from When Harry Met Sally - this is because he is listening to the new REM album. Shortly after the waiter approaches Moz and asks what he would like to eat. Morrissey points to Stipe on a nearby table and says 'I'll have what he's got!' The waiter then replies 'I'm sorry my friend you cant't have that.' Moz looks bemused. 'It's called talent!' says the waiter.

    Stipe then points at our Moz and begins to snigger.

    I jest of course...

  • As a long time fan of the IMDB, I can tell you that listing Morrissey in the cast may mean nothing more than a Morrissey video appears in the background of a scene or that he performs in the background during "the big concert scene".

He has time to make a movie and not a new album!?? don't get me wrong, I am totally looking foward to see Morrissey in a movie, but what about an album! has life in Hollywood taken him from his duty to record his "Ready-to-be-recorded" material for his devoted fans? Oh, how I've told myself from time to time to just wait and you'll be hearing an album very soon, but I finally said it "Moz where is the new album, I cannot wait any longer, I'm getting anxious! give your cat away for a few months! PLEASE!?" Oh well, better late than never!

  • Why do I feel, that later on they're gonna say Morrissey declined to do the part after reading what he had to do in the movie, or that they casted him without his approval, that someone casted him without his knowing or something like that. I mean it be great if he did do the part, but I just have one of those feelings that he's going to decline that part later down the line or something.
