Meet Monica Velour is an upcoming comedy movie written and directed by Keith Bearden. The film is starring Kim Cattrall and Dustin Ingram. The story revolves around a young man who travels cross-country to meet his dream woman, a 1980s cinema siren who is now a 50-year-old single mother in the middle of a child custody battle. It will be released sometime in 2010.
Here’s a first official preview clip of Meet Monica Velour:
Plot:
“In this quirky comedy, Tobe (Dustin Ingram, perfectly cast), an awkward teenage aficionado of 1980s soft-core, sets off in his grandfather’s (Brian Dennehy) used Weinermobile to see his sexual idol perform at the Gentlemen’s Club in Indiana. After defending her honor against ruffians who taunt the aging erotic starlet (Kim Cattrall) off the stage, he negotiates his unripe romantic impulses with the reality of her anything-but-glamorous life as a trailer-park single mother.”
Kim Cattrall was a bit too pretty for the role, so Director Keith Bearden had to ask her to let it go:
“My big concern was, ‘She’s way too good looking!’ I was like, ‘You need to gain weight, and the goal is to blow people’s image of you into tiny little pieces. I’m going to make you look bad at every turn.”

I definitely have to see Kim Cattrall’s performance in the movie Meet Monica Velour!

Make Kim Cattrall look bad? Sorry, sir, that simply is not possible!!!
