David O. Russell loves Big Boobs

Well, who doesn’t?

Deadline is reporting that a Russ Meyer biopic is on the way from Fox Searchlight and screenwriter Merritt Johnson (HBO’s Temple Grandin). The studio is wanting David O. Russell, who directed the seven-time nominated The Fighter as the film would be an adaptation of Jimmy McDonough’s book, Big Bosoms And Square Jaws: The Biography Of Russ Meyer, King Of The Sex Film.

Russ Meyer, who was the king of the sexploitation film in the 1960s, made a name for himself with cult classics like Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and Beyond the Valley of Dolls. He only cast women with, well there’s no polite way of putting it – big boobs.

Maybe this could be a loving ode to exploitation film making like Tim Burton did in Ed Wood? Thoughts?

I love film. That is all.
