Margaret Cho Heads East
Expect to see a
lot more of outrageous comic Margaret Cho on the big screen
before the year is out. The Korean-American funny lady and honorary gay
man has two projects that should make their way to theaters by the end
of 2007.
The
romantic comedy East Broadway deals with a Chinese-American New
Yorker (played by director Fay Ann Lee) who whirls her way into a
contemporary Cinderella story after she's mistaken for a Hong Kong
heiress; the eclectic cast includes Cho, Christine Baranski,
Lewis Black, Roger Rees, and, as themselves, celebrity chef
Bobby Flay and former NYC mayor David Dinkins.
Also on the horizon is Asian horror remake One Missed Call,
starring indie-film cute person Edward Burns, with Cho playing a
detective.
All this, plus voice work on Logo's upcoming sitcom Rick & Steve
should keep her fans happy as they wait for that next concert film.
