Speaking at the Sarasota Film Festival (Florida, U.S.A.) in early April, Herzog said that due to pre-production on his own Rescue Dawn he was not able to play the part Korine had wanted him for. Instead he now has a smaller role as a priest. Filming for Mister Lonely is currently at a rest but will resume shortly at another location.

Jean-Pierre Leaud will act, playing a character by the name of Renard. Jeremy Scott is also confirmed as costume designer. The story, they say, is of "a young American man lost in Paris. He scratches out a living as a Michael Jackson look-alike, dancing on the streets, public parks, tourist spots and trade shows. Different from everyone else - he feels as if he’s floating between two worlds. During a car show Michael Jackson meets Marilyn Monroe. Haunted by her angelic beauty he follows her to a commune in the Highlands, joining her husband Charlie Chaplin and her daughter Shirley Temple. A place where everyone is famous and no-one gets old. Here, The Pope, The Queen of England, Madonna, James Dean and other impersonators build a stage in the hope that the world will visit and watch them perform. Nuns fall out of airplanes and children ride pigs. Everything is beautiful. Until the world shifts, and reality intrudes on their utopian dream." Thanks to Chris Lusher for posting this.
