Biopic News

Production has recently wrapped on “Blue Moon”, Richard Linklater’s biopic of lyricist Lorenz Hart. Set on the opening night of 'Oklahoma!', the film takes place in real time as Hart attends the premiere of his former songwriting partner’s latest work. Hart was previously portrayed by Mickey Rooney in the highly fictionalized biopic “Words and Music”.

A week is a long time in biopics. Director Todd Phillips has announced that he will no longer be progressing with his Hulk Hogan biopic, which was set to star Chris Hemsworth. Also, Britney Spears has clarified that the project she is currently working on with director Jon M Chu is not a biopic based on memoir ‘The Woman in Me’, but rather a fictional musical.

While the future of Chris Hemsworth's Hulk Hogan biopic seems uncertain, news of another biopic about the former wrestler have reached our desk. 'Killing Gawker', a screenplay focusing on Hogan’s legal battle with Gawker Media, has been acquired by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon‘s production company Artists Equity.
