The big shock on everyone's lips is the first press release concerning upcoming blockbuster shocker "Was, wenn Hitler eine schwarze Frau war?". German second tier production studio Autoban has been releasing tid-bits of information in little tid-bits, bit by bit over the Internet, but last night Karl Ottomas, the head of the studio unleashed the first full press release.
It seems that both the full title (confirmed to be the rumored "Was, wenn Hitler eine schwarze Frau war?"), a plot synopsis, and a preliminary cast list have all been disclosed. So, what is the big movie masterpiece of next year all about? My German is limited, but dedicated to bringing you the cutting edge news first, I have attempted to piece as much of the information together as possible, and translated it to the best of my ability.
Was, wenn Hitler eine schwarze Frau war? (What if Hitler was a black woman?) is the story of Adolph Hitler, retold retrospectively as if he had been a black woman instead of a Austrian man. Karl Ottomas claims that the film will be "shocking, to cause upset the most of, black heraldry, ancestors of make unacceptable." The plot begins with Alois Hitler (Ron Pearlman) and Klara Plozl (Fergie from Black Eyed Peas), dealing with the news that they are to sire the most horrific dictator of all time. When Hitler is born a black woman nine months later, both her parents are stunned. There is then either an explosion or an apple-sauce, my German isn't good enough to tell which, and a fully grown Hitler (Whoopi Goldberg) wakes up in a bunker as the allies march on Berlin. The movie promises to deliver action, romance and thrills for all the something I can't translate. What other surprises are in store? Well from what I can gather, the crux of the film lies in a scene where, as a woman, Hitler has no testicle to be shot off in World War I, and how this ultimately leads to a Nazi victory.
Whilst the rest of the cast have stayed pretty quiet about the film, a friend of Whoopi had this to say:
"Whoopi takes acting very seriously, as you can see from her role in Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit. When she was approached by Autoban to take part in this project she was delighted, because she has been only asked to play herself for close to fifteen years now. Literally, in sitcoms and stuff."
We all know that a bad film can wreck an actresses career, thankfully Whoopi doesn't really have too much to worry about. Other cast members that have been confirmed are Skin from Skunk Anansie as Baby Hitler, and Stephen Fry as Goebells.
Also:
Frank Skinner gaining weight? Yes, says his doctor.
Take That reunion tour? Possibly in the pipeline!
Ant and Dec to return to the stage names P.J. and Duncan? If rumour is to be believed!
