McGREGOR DOES THE ELECTRIC SLIDE
That’s right, they are finally making a movie about that wonderful group dance required at any wedding! Oh, I’m kidding. Actually, Ewan McGregor and Carey Mulligan (An Education) are in talks to headline a different The Electric Slide, based on the true story of a Los Angeles furniture salesman-turned-bank-robber named Eddie Dodson. According to the Reporter, Dodson owned a high-end boutique furniture store on Melrose Avenue in L.A. in the 1980s. He lived the Hollywood lifestyle, partying and hanging out with celebrity friends, when he fell in love and took the biggest risk of his life to impress his new girlfriend -- he robbed a bank. Dodson went on to rob more than 72 banks in the L.A. area before the FBI nabbed him.
