Chris Eubank The Musical

Dogwoof is the distributor of Oliver Stone’s South of the Border and I’m reading their blog post about the film’s premiere in London and looking at their photos…

Stone with writer/film maker Tariq Ali, and producer Fernando Sulichin. Okay.

Stone with two of the Dogwoof people. Okay.

Stone and Sulichin with more of the Dogwoof people. Okay.

Stone with Chris Eubank. What?

This led me to wiki him:

More recently, Eubank has been spending time penning a musical based on his life. The project, which carries a working title of ‘Eubox’, was initially being funded by producer (and chairman of Everton F.C.) Bill Kenwright. After showing great interest in the project initially, Kenwright eventually pulled out after he received an invoice to the value of £17,500 for a giant wooden replica of the Peterbilt 379 truck which Eubank owns. Eubank insisted it was essential to the production but Kenwright maintained that a script was needed before set design was considered. Undeterred, in an interview with QVC, Eubank insisted that the production would go ahead and he hoped to be in London’s West end by the summer of 2011 and then on Broadway by the following year. As of 2010 Eubank is yet to finalise the script and he has not received interest from any West End or Broadway producers. However, the show is scheduled to open on Saturday 20 November 2010 at the Brighton British Legion.
