January 14, 2010 Red Elvises - THE MOVIEThe country is the Soviet Union in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Bogged down in an unpopular war in Afghanistan, the economy is in the toilet. The people have lost trust in their leaders and are hungry for change. What heroes would arise to save Russia in its darkest hour? Why, the Red Elvises, of course!Longtime fan Douglass Parker has written a screenplay entitled Red Elvises - can’t you just see that on the marquee at your local theater?! Red Elvises is a “fictional biography”, inspired by the mythology the band created in their early career (that they started as a Siberian wedding band and became pioneering legends of Russian rock and roll). Igor, Oleg, Zhenya, Schramm, and Elena are all characters in the story. Andre Baranov, the original Red Elvises drummer, and Igor Khramov of Limpopo also appear. Throughout this movie, the musicians are thrust into the major events of this period - the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the fall of the Berlin wall, the attempted coup against Mikhail Gorbachev in 1991, etc. The story takes a playful approach to history, somewhat reminiscent of Forest Gump. There are encounters with Gorbachev, Boris Yeltsin, Osama bin Laden, and Elvis Presley. Need we mention that the soundtrack is a sure winner? Douglass has spent the last few years writing, rewriting, and refining the script. Douglass has received great feedback from many other writers that have reviewed the script. Ken Rotcop, an award winning screenwriter and screenwriting consultant, coached Douglass on the final polishing of the script and has been very complementary. The band members give it unanimous thumbs up. "Funny and inventive" - Igor Yuzov “Very entertaining.” - Oleg Bernov “Sounds like fun” - Igor Khramov Now for the hard part. Douglass wants to sell the script and “see a great film made that will give our favorite band's career a serious kick in the pants”. Red Elvises fans can be a great help here. If any of the band’s fans have connections in the movie industry, help us get the word out about the project. Douglass can be reached at douglassparker@me.com. He will happily send his script to any agent, producer, etc. who wishes to read it. Spacibo! ROKENROL December 7, 2009 Red Elvises for the Holidays
