So, it's Mac Dog Williams, is it-just wonder if Vincent is playing Mac Dog or directing only-
Regi.
regi, rumor has it that Ethan Hawke is in the starring role, but maybe VDO plays another character?
Just as long as we get to see him astride a horse, I'll be happy!
Hi girls...
Donnajo.I agree,
Vince in a cowboy hat with a piece of wheat straw hanging out of his mouth, on a horse with chaps and spurs.....
priceless
I'd love to see him do something on the dark side, like a vampire or a witch.
vince in a cloak with fangs....
breathless
or something in the days of knights and Kings. i could see him in a sword fight.
vince in a toga.....
flawless
i hope he keeps making movies long after LOCI.
his charm will never die.
smooches
As I read this, it says only that Will Conroy wrote Mac Dog. It doesn't say anything about Vincent being involved in the project, although I know on another site they have him doing that and something else, as well as his western.
Vncent owns Brooklyn Hazelhurst, that is his production company. It says that Will Conroy is affiliated with that company. That's the connection, I guess.
I know donna, but just because Vincent's company is producing something, it doesn't necessarily follow that he's directing/starring.
Vincent is the director of two films: "Mac Dog Williams" with Ethan Hawke in the lead role and "Elvis and me, Mimi" to be shot in Nashville and Memphis...Vincent visited Graceland the past year like part of his investigation.
anaelsusabo: I haven't seen anything confirming these projects, could you tell us where you got this information? If it was from an article, I would love to read it.
Can't say I remember seeing anything anywhere about Vincent visiting Graceland. Could you post the link to that info please anaelsusabo ? As someone whose done just that several times over, I'd be interested to read about his trip. Some of my friends were there last year too. Maybe I should ask them if they remember seeing someone 6'4" and drop dead gorgeous ;0)
Ladies...this info is in the Naff's page since two weeks...About Graceland, sorry: no link now...Diane, if your friends took the tour the same day and they saw him doing the line, good for them ;)...hugs...
Long time reader, first time poster!
I'm afraid the Graceland story seems to be someone's idea of a joke. Anything newly on the Net and under a heading of 'Final Fantasy Fables' is clearly not meant to be taken seriously, although I'm sure some find it amusing that people are taken in by their (deliberate) subterfuge.
Love the site - keep up the great work!
E.
Ah - it seems the Graceland story thing is a misread! The items have been put together on Google so that it reads as if Vincent and Carin celebrated 10 years together....at Graceland...but the stories are completely unconnected, the Vincent one being Carin's pregnancy announcement. Nowhere does it say, or suggest, the D'Onofrios'were visiting Graceland. I guess my friends are therefore excused for not noticing him since he obviously wasn't there ;0)
Dear Elizabeth and Diane, it's sad you don't believe me, but it's not a joke. I guess it was my mistake to comment that here because I thought "it's something about his work" no gossips, I said there isn't a link: he visited Graceland alone. I won't give more details....Bye.
All I can say is if you Google the words Graceland and Vincent, or Graceland and Carin (as someone suggested elsewhere), you get nothing but the headline made up of the 2 mixed-up stories. I've been visiting the NAFF website everyday since the news broke that Vincent would be there, and I can honestly say I didn't see what you saw, which is why I asked for the link - but it seems the story has now vanished. I'm a huge Elvis fan and I regularly check the news on elvis.com, but there was no mention of Vincent visting there either, which is strange because they usually do special tours for VIPs. Maybe he went 'unofficially' or maybe it was just the mixed up bits and the news he's directing something with the word 'Elvis' in the title that made the NAFF website put 2 & 2 together and make a fraction. I guess we'll never know. I'm still going to call my friends to check if they 'saw' anyone tho' ;0)
Dear Diane: only the info about his movies appeared when the page began to sell tickets on line...there was there the last time I checked. About Graceland I insist: you won't find any link...It's MY information. Vincent didn't take a VIP tour...he is not that kind of guy...you are a huge fan of him...you should to know that :). He took a REGULAR tour, ALONE...he made the line like the nice and humble and great person he is...Please, don't continue with this matter...Kisses.
If VDO is making a movie that touches upon Elvis, he would take a trip to Graceland. Carin wouldn't necessarily go with him, since it's business. He could have gone incognito, not as a VIP.
Maybe he wore that cap Lozzie likes, the one from the strike? No one would recognize him, LOL!
As you say anaelsusbo, this is your story.
E.
Well...People could recognize him. If you hope he says something...come on!. Maybe some day
Today, in the NAFF's panel,he was very authentic and funny,but he didn't talk anything about his 2 new movies...but that's is other story. I'm afraid you begin to say I wasn't here LOL
