Paul McCartney considered for a guest role in Twiggy’s film musical

McCartney movie?

PAUL McCARTNEY is likely to have a guest role in Twiggy’s next film musical, titled “Gotta Sing, Gotta Dance.” Twiggy — the former model who achieved international acclaim as a musical comedy star for her film “The Boy Friend” — is understood to have invited McCartney personally. The movie is due to start shooting in the late summer and, if he accepts, McCartney’s contribution would be filmed in the autumn. One snag is that Wings are committed to completing their next album on their return from European dates, but nevertheless McCartney is believed to be very interested in the film offer.

McCartney writes for Twiggy!

PAUL McCARTNEY will write the music, “in Thirties style” for a forthcoming 90-minute TV musical starring Twiggy. McCartney, who has already written the title tune, “Gotta Sing, Gotta Dance,” will compose several other songs for the musical which goes before the cameras in California early in February.

Shooting schedule is six weeks. When the film is completed, it will be sold for screening in America and Britain. “Gotta Sing, Gotta Dance” was scripted from an original story by Twiggy’s producer/ manager Justin de Villeneuve, who co-produces with Bob Banner, one of America’s major TV producers.

Playing opposite Twiggy will be her Boy Friend co-star Tommy Tune, who will also choreograph the musical.
