Joel Schumacher Plans Ghostly Barry White Comedy

09/17/2010
. (Gibson) Joel Schumacher, who once directed Flatliners, is set to tell another graveyard tale in his upcoming Barry White film.

But those hoping the mellifluous Mr. White might be getting the Ray treatment will be a bit disappointed. Schumacher's film will instead feature bass-toned Romeo as a ghost giving romantic advice to a teenaged loser.

According to The Guardian, the film is being pitched as a playful comedy, with White (who passed away in 2003) appearing as he had in the sitcom Ally McBeal, as the ghostly advisor to Peter MacNicol. Schumacher will apparently use that and other footage to craft White's scenes.
