BRET MICHAELS The Movie Mogul

In addition to the POISON and solo music projects outlined in the last two posts, BRET MICHAELS is also busy with film projects. On January 10, he starts work on The Devil Inside, directing and starring in the suspense thriller based on his own screenplay. Michaels plays an undercover cop who begins seeing a shrink after killing a crime suspect on the job, and when people suddenly start dying around him he begins to suspect his doc. "It's a game of cat and mouse," says Michaels. "It kind of plays out like The Usual Suspects." No Code of Conduct, a film Michaels made under the banner of his company with actor CHARLIE SHEEN, is slated to come out this fall. At the moment, the partnership isn't active while Sheen, who has been arrested for and been to rehab for his drug and behavioral problems, "gets his life back on track. We did three movies in a row and calendars and other stuff. We're still friends but we're taking a break now while he stays out of trouble and doing what he n!
eeds to do." Also, Michaels has been asked to co-write some music for the MARK WAHLBERG movie Metal God, and he plans to meet with casting people about a role as the February start date gets closer. His plate is full, "but it's all stuff that I love doing. It's all creative and fun," he says. It also keeps him "a little more sober.Whenever I've had too much time in the past I got into way too much trouble," he laughs. "Idle hands are the devil's playground."
