Elton John plans film musical about AIDS victim

Elton John plans to write a comedy film musical about a gay Broadway man with HIV and AIDS, and wants Ben Stiller to play the lead.

Elton John is planning on writing a movie musical all about a man who has AIDS. The movie would be a comedy and John wants Ben Stiller to play the lead. Whether he'll be watching 'Team America' for inspiration I don't know.

John told reporters: "I've got to try and write a film musical for Ben Stiller. It's about a guy on Broadway who is gay, has HIV and AIDS and has to go back and face his wife and his kids that he left. It's very funny. The premise doesn't sound funny, but it is".
