I can't remember where I read this - hopefully I dreamt it - but apparently Bowie and Madonna are going to star in some Kid's fantasy movie type thing... Apparently Dave will be some scary baddie, which is giving me flashbacks of Labyrinth.

Has anyone else heard about this?

Yeah, I read about this recently too - Snoop Dogg is in it as well. Here's some info:

The pair, along with Snoop Dogg, will lend their voices to the upcoming live action/computer-animated fantasy film 'Arthur And The Minimoys', which is based on the popular French children's books by film-maker Luc Besson.

According to Reuters, the story follows ten-year-old Arthur, played by 'Charlie And The Chocolate Factory''s Freddy Highmore, who tries to save the home of his grandmother (Mia Farrow) by searching for his grandfather's treasure in the land of the tiny Minimoys.

There he finds Princess Selenia (Madonna) and Max (Snoop Dogg), who travel with him to a city ruled by the evil Malthazar (Bowie).

The film has been directed by Besson, who has spent over three years working on it.

IMDB doesnt have anything on it. I guess that doesnt neccessarily mean its not real, but IMDB usually gets the info on things fairly quick.

I wish I'd dreamt it now... What kind of mentalist casts David Bowie and Madonna in a film, then bangs in Snoop Dog? Might as well through in a plank of wood and Keanu Reeves.
