Finally, something on Kickstarter that I can really get behind.

Daniel Nadolny, a self-described expert on actor Daniel Stern and who sort of knows about The Spin Doctors, has until February 7th to make his wildest dreams come true. Those wild dreams are to have Daniel Stern play the lead singer of the Spin Doctors (since they pretty much look like twins) in a biopic that will, according to the Kickstarter, cost a cool $5 million. So far, Nadolny has raised $1,806, which means he has a few more weeks to reach his mark. I’d say he’s pretty much well on his way. I’ll let Nadolny’s words try to convince you as to why this is, potentially, a great investment for you:

I want to film a movie that stars actor Daniel Stern as the main singer guy from the pop band “The Spin Doctors.” Just a typical music biopic about the band’s early days, rise to fame, and eventual flameout, but with respected actor Daniel Stern as singer Chris Barron. Biopics have not yet appeared for either.

My goal at the outset is to prepare a screenplay centering around Daniel Stern portraying the singer of The Spin Doctors. Then, I would contact Daniel Stern, the Spin Doctors themselves, and then introduce them. I would arrange for them a reading of my screenplay. I would then recruit a director and production team to undertake the completion of the film, and finally promote the finished product, heretofore known as “Spin It To Win It”. The entire process would be funded with monies gathered from this Kickstarter project.

I believe the artistic and cultural implications for this project, if completed, would be immeasurable.

Nadolny does understand that there might be some challenges to this project as well, though maybe not the challenges that you would think when making a movie about a lesser known 90′s band with a somewhat familiar looking 90′s actor:

The challenges to my project are obvious. Creating a screenplay that captures the bold and innovative history of the band (featuring Daniel Stern as the singer) will be laborious. As a musician and fan of the films Home Alone, City Slickers, and Celtic Pride, I am uniquely qualified to lend credence to the story of The Spin Doctors while maintaining the artistic respect due to an actor of Daniel Stern’s caliber.

If you want to help make Nadolny’s dreams become a reality or if, after reading this, you’ve realized that a movie starring Daniel Stern about the Spin Doctors suddenly became a dream of yours, then you can donate to his project here.

thanks rob!
