MTV News have picked up on the New York Times Magazine story. And here is what they said:

“David Bowie has penned an article for a special section of this Sunday’s ‘The New York Times Magazine,’ in which the Thin White Duke interviews himself at the age of 24.

Bowie, who also appears on the cover of the ‘Fashion Of The Times’ insert, conducts a dialogue with his younger self (who would be in between recording 1970’s ‘The Man Who Sold The World‘ and 1972’s landmark ‘The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust‘ LPs) and the two discuss everything from ‘A Clockwork Orange‘ to Cher’s TV show.”

David Bowie starrer of “Mr. Rice’s Secret” has closed a number of territories for theatrical distribution. Panorama has grabbed the film for a fall release in the United States, while CCVAS in Scandinavia, British Sky Broadcasting in the United Kingdom, ARS Media in the former Yugoslav territories and Yeni Tual in Turkey have also made deals for the film.

Artisan Entertainment has re-released one of David’s “best acting performances.” Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence is now available on VHS at Reel.com. But note, this version DOES NOT have the english subtitles for the portions of the film in Japanese, so make sure those translation books are at hand as you view! If you’re looking for a DVD version, you may have to wait awhile! Artisan has said that even if given the go-ahead it would not be available until next year.
