Possible Future Projects
Untitled - Rosie's talking with producers Craig Zadan
and Neil Meron about directing a movie based on the life of Harvey Milk, the gay

Auntie Claus - based on an as-yet-unreleased children's
book, Rosie may star in this for Nickelodeon Films.
Sophie is a little girl in New York
whose eccentric aunt disappears each year between Halloween and Valentine's Day. On
the eve of her aunt's yearly departure, the curious girl decides to stow away in her
aunt's trunk, finds herself at the North Pole and discovers that her aunt is Santa's
sister.
The book, by Elise Primavera, will be released this
winter by Harcourt Brace. Wendy Finerman will produce the film. Todd Durham is
adapting the book, which is expected to garner a lot of attention during the
Christmas season. Saks Fifth Avenue has already chosen Auntie Clause as the
theme for its holiday window displays. (7/8/99)
Double Wish - Rosie wrote this screen treatment long
before she decided to do her talk show. She has finally gotten some interest and is
developing it for Walt Disney Pictures.
This modern-day fantasy tale centers
around two motherless children who make a wish for someone to enter their lives and
help their father take care of them (sound familiar?). The wish comes true in the
form of a nanny (Rosie) who shows up on their doorstep. Hardly perfect, the nanny
learns from the children as they learn from her and all grow from the friendship.
Cathy Konrad, who produced Beautiful Girls and Wide Awake, will
co-produce Double Wish along with Rosie. Disney Production VP Gregg Hoffman is
overseeing the project, which is out to writers as an open assignment. (7/8/99)
Totie Fields Movie - under development at ABC-TV

Tarzan (1999)
(Buy Soundtrack)
This new animated version from
Disney opened nationwide June 18, 1999. Rosie does the voice of Tarzan's pal, Terk.
Walt Disney Pictures' animated adventure Tarzan is an innovative and
entertaining exploration of the classic tale by Edgar Rice Burroughs. With music
by Grammy Awardฎ-winning singer/songwriter Phil Collins, Tarzan is an
adventure that traces the story of a human baby who is orphaned in the African
jungle and lovingly raised by a family of apes. Tarzan's peaceful and sheltered
world is turned upside down by the arrival of a human expedition and the
revelation that he is one of them. As he struggles to decide which "family" he
belongs with, his dilemma is further complicated by his feelings for a beautiful
young woman named Jane (Minnie Driver) and the discovery that a trusted member of
his new human "family" is plotting to harm the apes. With an inspired cast of
vocal talents and new technological breakthroughs that bring added depth and
dimensionality to the jungle settings, Disney's animated version of Tarzan
captures the fantasy, excitement, and imagination of this literary favorite as
never before.

beautiful girls (1996)
(Buy Soundtrack)
"I'm finished speaking to both of you, okay? You're both fucking insane. You wanna
know what your problem is? MTV, Playboy, and Madison fucking Avenue. Yes, let me explain something
to you, okay? Girls with big tits have big asses girls with little tits have little asses that's
the way it goes. God doesn't fuck around He's a fair guy. He gave the fatties big, beautiful tits
and the skinnies little tiny niddlers. It's not my rule; if you don't like it, call Him.
"Oh guys, look what we have here. Look at this, your favorite. Oh, you like that? Yeah, that's nice,
right? Well, it doesn't exist, okay? Look at the hair. The hair is long, it's flowing, it's like a
river. Well, it's a fuckin' weave, okay? And the tits, please! I could hang my overcoat on them.
Tits, by design, were invented to be suckled by babies. Yes, they're purely functional these are
silicon city. And look, my favorite, the shaved pubis pubic hair being so unruly and all very key.
This is a mockery. This is a sham. This is bullshit.
"Implants, collagen, plastic, capped teeth, the fat sucked out, the hair extended, the nose fixed, the
bush shaved . . . these are not real women, alright? They're beauty freaks. And they make all us normal
women, with our wrinkles, our puckered boobs, our cellulite, feel somehow inadequate. Well I don't buy
it, alright? But you fuckin' mooks, you think if there's a chance in hell that you'll end up with one
of these women, you don't give us real women anything approaching a commitment. It's pathetic. I don't
know what you think you're gonna do. You're gonna end up 80 years old, drooling in some nursing home.
Then you're gonna decide it's time to settle down, get married, have kids. What, are you gonna find a
cheerleader?
"Oh, eat me. Look at Paul, with his models on the wall, his dog named Elle MacPherson. He's insane. He's
obsessed. You're all obsessed. If you had an ounce of self-esteem, of self-worth, of self-confidence,
you would realize that, as trite as it may sound, beauty is truly skin deep. And you know what? If you
ever did hook one of those girls, I guarantee you'd be sick of her.
"Get over yourself. No matter how perfect the nipple, how supple the thigh, unless there's some other
shit going on in the relationship besides the physical, it's gonna get old, okay? And you guys as a
gender have got to get a grip. Otherwise, the future of the human race is in jeopardy."
Gina Barrisano [Rosie O'Donnell] to Tommy (Matt Dillon) and Willie Conway (Timothy Hutton)
"At first, after the breakup, you'll have these visions: of you, alone, 57, 58,
walking around, wearing a nightgown, your hair in a bun, maybe you're a librarian, heating up
a can of soup for one, and worrying about the cobwebs that are growing in your womb."
