D.I.S.C.O Is In The 'Gene's
rubbafish by Colin Weston May 28th, 2001
Gene Simmons, of rock legends Kiss, is set to make a film.

He's making a film about the life of '70s record mogul Neil Bogart.

Bogart was a co-founder of Buddha Records in the late 60's and also gave Kiss their first break. He also crated many disco hits, like 'Love To Love You Baby' by Donna Summer.

Gene said :- "We wore more makeup than most clowns, higher heels than most women and more leather than you normally find in an S&M bar." However, he took a chance on them and, as we all know, it paid dividends.

The script has been handed in to Paramount Pictures. Apparently, he would like to see Mike Myers or Kevin Spacey in the lead role.
