The King Of Filth Returns: John Waters Is Back After 20yrs With 'LIARMOUTH' Starring Aubrey Plaza

It’s been over 20yrs since the “Pulp Of Trash”, John Waters has directed a film and we’ve been eager for him to return to film and The Guardian reports this week that the Pink Flamingos, Hairspray, and Serial Mom director will soon be making a long-awaited return with a brand new movie!

The Guardian reports this morning, “Hairspray director John Waters is about to start production on his first feature film for 20 years, with Aubrey Plaza as the lead.”

The film is titled Liarmouth, an adaptation of Waters’ same titled novel from 2022.

Liarmouth is “a feel-bad romance,” with the novel billing it as “a hilariously filthy tale of sex, crime, and family dysfunction from the brilliantly twisted mind of John Waters.”

“Liarmouth centers on a scammer and compulsive liar called Marsha Sprinkle who splits from her partner Daryl and steals from both her daughter and her mother.”

The full synopsis for the book digs a bit further into the storyline:

“Marsha Sprinkle: Suitcase thief. Scammer. Master of disguise. Dogs and children hate her. Her own family wants her dead. She’s smart, she’s desperate, she’s disturbed, and she’s on the run with a big chip on her shoulder. They call her Liarmouth—until one insane man makes her tell the truth.”

Liarmouth was the first novel from John Waters, and you can grab a copy now.
