Updated: Beck Interview about "Alice in Wonderland" Film in 2003

UPDATE The resourceful Richard found the original interview, and translated the best part. From the August 5, 2003 issue interview of Beck by Sandra Cesarale What about [your debut] movie? It will be full of energy and full of characters: some kind of Alice in Wonderland set in the 70s. It still doesn't have a title. The director is a friend of mine and it will be her directorial debut. But I trust her. We will begin shooting in the Fall. Now, deals fall apart and Hollywood friends aren't. But why did Beck go to such lengths to deny the whole thing to Vanity Fair? More Duncan/Blake drama. Beck denied ever discussing acting in Theresa Duncan's film, Alice Underground in Vanity Fair, but long ago, and far away, he mentioned a project that sounds a whole lot like it in an interview with Corriere Della Sera Beck allegedly told Italien newspaper Corriere Della Sera (the story is not on the paper's terrible site and CDS is not indexed by Lexis Nexis) that he's going to play in a movie this fall, "a kind of Alice in Wonderland" taking place in the 70s. The director a female friend of his and it's her first film. Small world or creepy coincidence: the Italian interview is cited by Emmanuelle Richard, who's a friend of FBLA. Turns out, she was the first journalist (or one of the first) to get Beck to admit to belonging to the church of L. Ron. E.R: Are you Jewish? AND scientologist? B.: Well, my grandfather was a Presbytherian [sic] minister. My mother was Jewish and she raised us Jewish as well, but during the summer, I used to go stay with my grandparents and I'd go to Church. My parents were scientologists probably from the 60s... so I grew up around that too. I had a lot of influences. Did Beck's auditors wipe out too many memories?
