Karl Glusman Erotic Thriller Imminent

Thank goodness for weirdos! After reading this news this morning (which I will get to in a second) my mind trailed off on a tangent about how thank goodness there are people out here still making movies that actively alienate half (or more) of their audience -- movies like Skinamarink or Jennifer Reeder's Perpetrator or Amanda Kramer's Please Baby Please or anything by Gaspar Noe... which is where we enter the news. Alicia Silverstone, one time Batgirl, has embraced the weirdos as of late and her career's seen a renaissance due to it -- she was deliciously bizarre in the aforementioned Perpetrator, and now she's going to co-star with our favorite full-time weirdo Karl Glusman, and in an erotic thriller at that! 

But wait -- there's more -- the film, called The Bird and the Bee, is from gay director Justin Kelly, the filmmaker behind King Cobra and I Am Michael (the movie where James Franco became an ex-gay which I will admit I have never seen) and, most recently, the JT Leroy movie with Kristen Stewart and Laura Dean. That one sort of disappeared didn't it? I never saw that either. But I loved King Cobra and I love that we've got a gay director putting Karl Glusman front and center in an old-school erotic thriller. Also the film has apparently already finished shooting? Which makes me realize that all the recent photos...

... of Karl getting into insane shape was probably for this movie! Hoo baby gimme this sucker now! Here is all that we know about the film so far from the news article at Deadline:

"Pic follows a successful executive (Silverstone) as she fights back a scorned younger lover (Glusman) who takes his obsession too far... In a statement to Deadline, Kelly described The Bird and the Bee as “a unique take on a twisted romance that I’m thrilled to bring to life because it’s not only a great story but also an exciting departure from my previous films.” While reading Donnelly’s “brilliant” script, he said, “I immediately pictured the look and vibe of the many great 80s and 90s erotic thrillers—stylish, moody, and sexy.”  Continued the director, “I’m honored to work with the iconic Alicia Silverstone for the second time (after KING COBRA) as well as the uber-talented Karl Glusman— their on-screen chemistry is electric."
