Cult indie filmmaker Abel Ferrara began principal photography today on the screwball comedy "Go Go Tales" starring Willem Dafoe, Bob Hoskins and Matthew Modine reports Production Weekly.
Set around a night at the classy Manhattan cabaret venue named Ray Ruby's Paradise, Dafoe plays the charismatic Ray who exhibits and seeks talented girls whom he agrees to represent and help into stardom.
In the meantime though they work as lap dancers and performers at the club. Various long time groupies and agency personnel make up the rest of the colorful cast of characters.
Asia Argento and Lou Doillon also star in the film. Ferrara will spend four weeks of shooting at Rome's Cinecitta Studios and then move to New York in January 2007 for exterior shots.
