Pete Doherty’s film debut is in trouble; the company responsible for making the film are having a budget shortfall, and are asking fans to invest in the production.
The Babyshambles and Libertines musician stars alongside actress Charlotte Gainsbourg in French production Confession d'un Enfant du Siecle, based on the semi-autobiographical novel by 19th century writer Alfred de Musset.
Director Sylvie Verheyde has heaped praise on Doherty's performance, but a new report in Britain's Guardian suggests the film is facing a cash crisis.
The picture reportedly has a funding gap of £22,000 and the film chiefs have issued a plea for investments - and in return, people who pledge money will receive tickets, DVDs and photos.
The news comes just a day after troubled Doherty was warned by a judge that he faces jail after pleading guilty to possessing cocaine.
