Tobey Maguire sells his soul online

By Matt Holmes /

Ever heard of Gerald Fraller? I sure haven't but the news has broke today that Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire has agreed a deal to bring the guy's life to the big screen. So why is this dude interesting? Well according to Variety, he is a 29 year old man who is selling his soul over the Internet. You can visit his site here, and by sending him a donation you are placed into a prized draw where you could win his soul, which includes (taken directly from his site)... A percentage of my taxable income for the rest of my life with a guaranteed minimum of $500.00 per year. Click Here to see a copy of my 2004 W2. The right to choose the first name of all of my children. The name has to be gender specific and cannot contain profanity or derogatory words. A percentage of profit ownership of any intellectual works that I create. The option of planning my wedding, including selecting the date. Is this guy crazy? Insane? A publicity whore? Well this is how he justifies his actions... "Every day people sell their souls for far less than what I am asking for through this website. But rather than sell my soul for a paycheck in corporate America, I am selling my soul to the community, and making a commitment to give back to the community..... My life story has been a rocky road but I do not blame anyone. I do not want your pity... I just want to change my life and then pay the help that I have received forward to others". It's not yet known whether Maguire will be playing the guy on screen but according to Variety it was him that pushed his studio Maguire Entertainment into purchasing the rights, and the flick will be produced by Nash Entertainment. The direction the movie will be taken in is also not yet known, but it really does sum up the wide sources Hollywood are using to come up with their ideas these days. I swear, they will make a movie about me next! Strange thing is though, I'm kinda intrigued by this movie! source - variety, cinema blend, winmysoul
