A—list for Party Monster - the Buzz - production of film to star Macaulay Culkin and Wilson Cruz - Brief Article

Advocate, The,  June 25, 2002  

NEW YORK CITY club promoter Michael Alig strove for fabulousness, so he's no doubt thrilled with the casting for Party Monster, the upcoming movie about Alig's famous parties--and infamous killing of his ex-roommate.

In what promises to be a standout mold-breaking casting choice, Macaulay Culkin will play Alig, a flagrantly gay club kid who traded in sequins for a fluorescent jumpsuit when he pleaded guilty with an accomplice in the death of fellow drug abuser and onetime roommate Andre "Angel" Melendez (who'll be played by Wilson Cruz).

Based on the book Disco Bloodbath by James St. James (Seth Green in the movie), the film marks the narrative feature debut of acclaimed out documentarians Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, who previously did a nonfiction version of Party Monster.

Also along for the ride for what promises to be 2003's hippest film: Marilyn Manson, Dylan McDermott, Natasha Lyonne, and Chloe Sevigny. Sounds very appropriately "behind the velvet rope."
