Tony Scott Directing Chippendales Movie
Tony Scott will direct a movie about the rise and fall of Chippendales creator Steve Banerjee.
According to Variety, the story will follow the improbable rise and fall of Banerjee, who went from pumping gas in Culver City to running a high-end nightclub that evolved into Chippendales. After hiring a New York choreographer to polish the all-male dance troupe, Banerjee became wildly rich, as well as unreasonably competitive and paranoid. Banerjee hired a hitman to murder the choreographer when negotiations went sour. After being arrested, Banerjee died in jail awaiting trial.
Lisa Schrager will write the script, adapted from a manuscript by Rodney Sheldon.
