Generations Creator Returns to Movie with Soap Theme
With a Shakespeare drama now in release, prolific producer Pedro of Baseball Mogul Productions has turned to a new genre for next weekend.
“My goal [with As the World Turns] is to try and get a character motivated parody out of the soap opera. I picked As the World Turns because it’s the soap I watch and I love the characters. It’s got some messed up comedy in it, too. I think some of the stories that soaps have going are so far out there, that they are easy to parody.”
With a large cast, Pedro made sure to bring in some of his personal favorites.
“My favorite character is Craig Montgomery [played by Bruce Campbell]. He gets away with everything because of how charming he is. He’s a great villainous character. I think Bruce fits the bill perfectly. I tried to get several actors from soap operas to be in the film, especially ones from ATWT, such as Julianne Moore , Kristanna Loken and Amanda Seyfried. Parker Posey will be used in a sequel.”
Included in the cast is Jeffrey Donovan, the star of Burn Notice, which also features Bruce Campbell. Pedro is hoping to repeat some of the Burn Notice chemistry on ATWT.
“It’s a great show. The two really work well together.”
As the World Turns is currently in buzz voting.
