Jude Law's drag film 'RAGE' going straight-to-mobile phone

London, Sept 23 : Jude Law's quirky stint as a drag artist in the low budget experimental flick, Rage, will make a record of sorts when it is released directly on cellphones.

Film enthusiasts will also be able to text in their questions about the feature.

Helmer Sally Potter is unsure how it will work out for the movie, but is willing to give technology a chance.

The Sun quoted her as saying: "We don't know how this is going to work, especially since it is the first ever feature on cellphones. We're making it up as we go along and taking the plunge and the risk.

"There's so much terror in the film industry at the moment about piracy, people stealing your idea and making money off

of it; and the only way I found of dealing with that is to say, 'Here, have it.' If you keep looking over your shoulder, you don't trailblaze.

"It's not necessarily a great money spinner. At the moment I'm in debt but the great advantage of being in debt means you've got nothing to lose."

Potter also disclosed her reasons for casting Law as a cross-dressing Minx, a role she earlier planned for a woman.

She said: "When I first wrote the part I was imagining it would be played by a woman and I suddenly realised one day it would be infinitely more interesting to be played by a man.

"I immediately thought of Jude because he has been accused, so to speak, of being too beautiful.

"That gave us incredible material to work with and we had discussions about that when we were working on it. We worked together on the looks and spent quite a bit of time with make-up, hair and costume tests until we found the character."

Rage will be released in London next week.
