Jon Peters is going to be releasing his memoirs soon (called "Studio Head"  ;)) and The Independent (UK) newspaper will be running an article about it tomorrow.

The following is about Batman

QuoteKim Masters claims that: ?The Studio Head proposal also describes Peters? pursuit of Jack Nicholson to play the Joker in Batman thus: ?Jon took Jack on a whore and drug-fuelled global joyride to see the Batman sets in London. That was one of the most expensive and decadent junkets in cinema history. Jon basically turned a staid London hotel into the Playboy Mansion, with strippers, hookers, masseuses, coke dealers, and more, plus champagne and foie gras room service that put Adnan Khashoggi?s stays to shame. Jack couldn?t say no to a good time like this, and he succumbed to Jon?s relentless charms.? (Nicholson?s representatives did not respond to a request for comment.)?

Never heard that on the special edition dvd  :D

^ WHOA! :o

And I thought Jack could get those "things" on his own. ;D

I remember Nicholson commenting on the SE that despite everyone involved being well prepared for the filming of the movie, there was indeed instances of being improvisational for the overall benefit of the film itself.

Perhaps Jack told Peters "Never rub another man's rhubarb" at some point during this 'whore and drug-fuelled global joyride'?
"Imagination is a quality given a man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humour was provided to console him for what he is."

I have been looking forward to this book coming out...I know the main focus isn't going to be ALL Batman, but hopefully there is some new stuff in there that I haven't already heard/read.....

another great source for some Jon Peters stuff is the book "Hit & Run"..there is a chapter in the book on the 89 movie...soooo much drama!

Thanks for posting man!
