No rest for the dead.

According to Variety some singer called Willa Ford, who I have never heard of , has been cast as Anna Nicole Smith in an indie movie version of her life.
The movie will cover Smith's life from age 17 until her death in February at 39, including her success as a Playboy centerfold, Guess model and actress, her marriage to billionaire oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II, the death of her son and her own death five months after giving birth to a baby girl, Dannielynn.
Apparently Ford's best known for her multiplatinum single "I Wanna Be Bad". Where was I for this huge single? I have never heard of this woman. Anyway, back to the story and my reason for this post. Over 5 years after 9/11 people felt Oliver Stone’s ‘World Trade Centre’ was too soon. So why is it morally acceptable to start a film about the life of a celebrity whos corpse is not even cold? Also this film does just scream trash, it is directed by Keoni Waxman, best known for 2005 ‘Shooting Gallery’ with Freddie Prinze Jr, and well…that was his biggest film on IMDB so that must speak volumes.
I feel after all the crap the poor woman went through in her life, she at least deserves a honest movie made, just not right now.
