You’d think Simon Cowell would just be content to ride the wave of riches from American Idol, X-Factor, American Inventor, America’s Got Talent and the heaps of other shows he works on. You’d be wrong. Cowell is now moving his way toward the big screen, developing a film called Star Struck. At least he’s sticking to what he knows—the film takes a look behind the scenes of 10 contestants in a TV singing competition. Sound familiar? According to Cowell, “The story is told through the eyes of those 10 contestants. We want it to be the musical version of Rocky—an underdog story, a feel-good film.” Cowell will produce the movie, which he compares to the movie Fame, saying, “Fame was all about young people wanting to be famous, and in order to do that, they enrolled in a drama school. The difference 25 years later is that everyone who wants to be famous today signs up for American Idol.” The lead roles in the movie will be cast through open call auditions in seven or eight cities, so warm up those pipes, because you could be in a major hit film!
