contacting Paul Fenech


Hi. I was wondering if anyone knew how to contact Paul Fenech to give him a script. I have written a script (which I haven't finished yet) for a comedy that would be perfect for him to direct and act in. The main character is very much like Pauly, and the humour of my script is very similar.

Also, my film's a satire on how reality TV and terrorism affects Australia, but in short, it's a satire of the 2000s! Since it's set in Australia with all sorts of weird characters.

The film is called "Australian Popstar". It's about a cynical ASIO agent who goes undercover as a contestant in Australian Popstar (like Australian Idol, but dumber) to uncover a rumoured terrorist plot, while dealing with completely vain and untalented wannabe singers and judges!

The humour of Australian Popstar is very much like the humour of Pizza, but since it invovles spies and terrorists, there are some fighting scenes, which can be made as send ups of fighting scenes in action films, which is often done in Pizza.

The film also makes many pop-culture references, like in Pizza, relating to famous movies and songs. E.g. There's one scene where the films Batman Returns, The Breakfast Club and Blade 2 are all sent up.

A funny idea I had for an audition for Australian Popstar is having a fat ugly girl (which should be played by Rebel Wilson, who plays Toula on Pizza) and sings the Samantha Fox song Touch Me, while she's sexually rubbing herself, which makes the judges vomit! LOL!

Anyway, thanks for your time.

Okay then. I will look into that. Thanks once again plzwork for that information. I really appreciate it. I think if I could get Paul Fenech to look at this script, there'd be a chance he'd do it, not only because it's a comedy, but it's got very similar humour to what Fat Pizza has, and would also allow him (if he wants to that is) to branch away from Pizza and allow him to do other projects (which many filmmakers claim they want to do, and I doubt Fenech would be any different).

You know I met him once, at a boxing match, he commentated it, there thats my two cents.
