Gaga top choice to star in next Devil Wears Prada
Quote:
Lee Tulloch's acclaimed 1989 book Fabulous Nobodies will be the next project for RJ Cutler, who, given the success of his last fashion film, looks set to have his hands on the new Devil Wears Prada.
The question of who will land the lead role of Reality Nirvana Tuttle, a fashion-obsessed door girl at a downtown nightclub in '80s Manhattan, has had the fashion industry abuzz.
The author said that while that choice will be left up to the filmmakers, there were several actresses she thought would be great.
"Lady Gaga, are you listening? She is SO how I imagined Reality to be," said Tulloch, whose other choices are Carey Mulligan, Blake Lively and Emma Stone.
"It's a tricky casting choice because she can't just be funny, she's got to be feisty and a bit mad," she continued.
Fabulous Nobodies was originally penned as a revenge novel after Tulloch was dismissed from the helm of Harper's Bazaar Australia just nine months after its launch for being "too creative".
The author fled Sydney for New York in 1985, where she began writing the tome.
The satirical story centres on Reality, who spends her evenings selecting 'fabulous nobodies' from the nightclub's waiting hopefuls.
She not only names her frocks but talks to them, too, and sports a Chanel tattoo in her quest to make the 'right' friends and get into the 'right' parties.
Asked about her thoughts on how different Reality's world was when she wrote the book, compared with that world now, the author said: "I think it's quite different now, in many ways. There was a sense of unfettered creative possibility in the '80s which has been lost. There was also a sense of whimsy. It was all quite silly. We laughed a lot.
"Everyone is working so hard creating their own 'brand' right now it's difficult to be light-hearted."
One thing seems sure, though: no matter who ends up playing fashion's new leading lady, she will have a killer wardrobe.
