Guest guest Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 Well, what can I say? You heard it first here ... TURNER TO SING IN MERCHANT-IVORY FILM August 15, 2003 - Tina Turner is reportedly coming out of semi- retirement to sing and dance - on the back of a tiger! – in a Merchant Ivory film. Producer Ismail Merchant tells Entertainment Weekly the film is called "The Goddess," and he will direct it next spring in India. Turner will play the Goddess Kali who, says Merchant's film-making partner James Ivory, is "one of the main Hindu goddesses, a recycler of souls, a destroyer as well as a creator who wears a necklace of men's skulls." The Goddess, needless to say, is a far cry from Merchant Ivory's latest production, the Paris-set comedy of manners, Le Divorce.

The only portrayal of Kali I have seen in Western media was on the Xena television show.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 Dear Usha: Merchant-Ivory are extremely well-known in the world of art-house films; they are very highly regarded and have won slews of awards for their work. I am certain that the film will be more prominently circulated in the West than in India. That's my best guess, at any rate.
