'Whore' The 'Citizen Kane' Of Streetwalker Movies Starring Megan Fox And Rumer Willis
Posted by Seth at 7:00 AM on August 23, 2008
There are those for whom the title Whore means one film and one alone: Ken Russell's fearless exploration of the oldest profession, in which Richard Gere never arrives to sweep a gold-hearted streetwalker off her feet. But that was 1991, a whole generation ago, and few who show up to 2008's Whore are likely to even recall the original, much less force a comparison. Written, directed, produced, edited and color-timed by Thomas Dekker—yes, that Thomas Dekker, of John Connor-in-primetime fame and The Sashay Chante Chronicles—it features Megan Fox, Rumer Willis, and Ron Jeremy in a movie about a "large group of teens living on the streets of Hollywood and selling their bodies to stay alive." We present for you the key art, the arresting image of a bitch who had to be choked, presumably by uncredited cameo Wayne Brady.

So is Rumer in the title role? If so I'm gonna have to suggest a heavy dose of suspension of disbelief. I don't go to Lawry's and order a patty melt...

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce will be expecting a licensing fee for the use of their repurposed logofont, which will bring additional publicity to this no-doubt piece-of-shit film, thus garnering the attention it so richly (but not deservedly) needs.

@Shumina:
Well, at least Potato Head's face isn't on the poster.

So, Rumer's character pays people to have sex with her, right?

I'm sorry... my mind just blew.
Claire's gay boyfriend is the next Orson Welles?! Who does he think he is? Ethan Hawke!?

Megan Fox? Ron Jeremy? I thought this was a joke when I read it. Megan Fox shouldn't ruin her career by doing movies like this so early. She should save them for when her career is burnt out.

@75Sasha: I was thinking Elizabeth Berkeley, obviously trying to prove that Showgirls wasn't as far as she sink.
