Movie Marketed As Six Different Genres

NEW YORK—Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind, the Miramax film based on the memoirs of Gong Show creator Chuck Barris, is being marketed as six different genres, sources reported Tuesday. “So far, I’ve seen TV ads making it look like a romantic comedy, a spy thriller, a Hollywood satire, a straightforward biopic, and a strange, Being John Malkovich-esque mind-bender,” said Daniel Taubman, 24, of Chapel Hill, NC. “I heard there’s also one that makes it look like a chick flick, playing up the whole Drew Barrymore/Julia Roberts angle, but I haven’t seen it. It probably runs on Lifetime or Oxygen or something.”
