Looney tunes director John Waters has been casting the net for his latest film, which, you may not be entirely shocked to hear, is a bizarre tale of sex-addiction and head injuries in Baltimore. Already starring Johnny Knoxville, Selma Blair and Paul Giamatti, Dirty Shame currently has an opening for a female lead to play a convenience store owner who, after suffering a concussion, develops uncontrollable sexual urges. "I wish Meryl Streep would do it but I don't think she would," Waters told Variety. "It has to be somebody real, who looks like they could belong in a convenience store, and in Hollywood these days, women in their forties who look real are hard to find." "It's a sex education film that asks the question, 'Can tolerance go too far?' It's also based on a really true fact, and I've of course exaggerated it. But there are a tiny percentage of concussion sufferers who have a carnal lust they cannot control. Of course in this film, they take over a whole neighborhood." Madder than a badger's armpit.
