The return of Corey Feldman?

In a new Aussie film with the ‘Bloke’


Do I smell a comeback? (Or is that the pile of laundry near my feet?).

80s icon Corey Feldman has snagged his first plum film role in quite some time. He’ll join Australia’s Chris Franklin in “The Bloke Goes to Hollywood”, a film – I’m guessing, based on the synopsis below – based on Franklin’s popular beer-guzzling mullet-haired ‘Bloke’ doppelganger.

Feldman, whose last major studio release was “Bordello of Blood” in 1996, will play a Hollywood producer in the movie. Filming commences next month in L.A on the movie, and then its believed Feldman will be rejoining the cast and crew in July for the Melbourne part of the shoot.

Producer Cameron Miller tells The Eye that, “It’s basically about an Aussie bloke, who’s a stand-out comedian, who goes to Hollywood to seek his fame and fortune”.

Also onboard is wrestling star Roddy Piper (soon to be seen in the horror pic “Sin-Jin Smyth”) and “Fast and the Furious : Tokyo Drift” babe Nikki Griffin.
