John Waters' ‘Liarmouth' is No Longer Happening

November 14, 2024 Jordan Ruimy

Earlier in the year, John Waters confirmed that Aubrey Plaza would star in his next film, “Liarmouth.” However, despite turning in the script, the project seemed to be having some major funding issues.

Waters is now telling The Houston Chronicle that the film is no longer happening. He’s moved on to other projects. This is too painful to take. Waters hasn’t directed a film since 2004’s “A Dirty Shame.”

The filmmaker had previously told IndieWire that no progress had been made on the project, even though Plaza was set as the lead, and that nobody wanted to dish out the money to finance it.

I wrote the script, they liked it, Aubrey [Plaza] likes the script, wants to be in it, I want her to be in it, and every person said, “No, we don’t have a penny of the budget.” That is where it is today. Hopefully that will change. But the answer as of today? That’s it.

“Liarmouth,” based on Waters’ own novel, follows con artist Marsha Sprinkle, who is described as “a suitcase thief, scammer, and master of disguise. Dogs and children hate her. Her own family wants her dead. She’s smart, she’s desperate, she’s disturbed, and she’s on the run with a big chip on her shoulder. They call her Liarmouth―until one insane man makes her tell the truth.”

As mentioned, Waters’ last filthy creation was 2004’s “A Dirty Shame”; he’s the iconoclast filmmaker behind “Pink Flamingos,” “Polyester,” “Serial Mom,” and “Hairspray.” This sicko world needs a new John Waters movie, and the fact that nobody wants to invest money in making it happen is too depressing to think about.
