I accidentally my whole location.
BERLIN (Reuters) - A real-life German cannibal who ate a willing victim is being immortalized on the big screen, like the fictional Hannibal Lecter, despite his legal bid to block the movie version of his gruesome crime.

"Rohtenburg" ("Butterfly -- A Grimm Love Story") is set to open in Germany on March 9 and will hope to profit from the shock and fascination the case of Armin Meiwes evoked in a transfixed public in Germany and beyond.

Tastes like chicken.

Bet people are lining up to be in the starring role.

I watched a documentary about this guy. It was quite interesting as it concentrated on how they had met and how the victim had a fantasy of being eaten, and the other guy had a fantasy of eating someone, and how they negociated it all. Not that knowing all that stops it being utterly crazy, but interesting how there's a match for everything out there on the web whether it's good or bad!

I wonder if the film is all about "Oh my god! He ATE him!" or whether it would be more like this documentary.

see.... something like that would be interesting. but i suppose it depends on how a movie of such a thing were approched. it could work. or it could be very bad. chances are that it'll be bad though.

yes that song is called mein teil (or my piece) from the album reise reise. look it up in itunes, its a nice sounding song. anyways he tried to sue rammstein for that too
 
As horrible and gut wrenching as it is, it could actually be a good movie if they approach it properly.

If they try to make it a thriller/horror film it will probably just suck but if they do it documentary style and focus more on the events leading up to it than the actual act I would watch it.
