George Michael Gets On His Knees To Do Good |
|
George Michael's potting punishment |
How's
this for high concept: Ruthless corporate attorney turns good guy after
seeing visions of '80s pop star George Michael. That's the premise for
"Eli Stone," an ABC dramedy starring Jonny Lee Miller.
Stone's corporate law firm has a "screw the little guy" motto.
And Miller's Stone is among the firm's best sharks, until he has flashbacks
and hallucinations, including Michael as a holy intercessor. As the visions
persist, Stone learns he has an inoperable brain aneurysm and begins redefining
his career. "It's quite funny, but it does tackle some real social
issues," says Miller, best known for 1996's "Trainspotting."
Co-producer Marc Guggenheim says Michael "really responded to the
concept. He's a real television aficionado. And his songs reflect the
themes of the show."
The Armani suit worn on tour by George Michael, auctioned for the Terrence Higgins Trust, brought in £15,400.
Michael to Play Trainspotting Star's Dream Angel
George Michael has signed on to play Jonny Lee Miller's guardian angel in a new U.S. TV drama.
The pop superstar will tweak the conscience of the actor's ruthless attorney-turned-good guy in new show Eli Stone.
Michael will appear in dream sequences, aimed at inspiring Miller's character to do good deeds, in the show.
A spokesman for the show, which will debut in America later this year, says, "George really responded to the concept... and his songs reflect the themes of the show."

The Armani suit worn on tour by George Michael that is being auctioned for the Terrence Higgins Trust is currently at £12,655 with 16 hours left for bidding.
