Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers Biopic With Jamie Bell & Margaret Qualley Dances To The EFM With Black Bear, 30West, UTA & ‘La La Land’ Producer
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Black Bear International has launched international sales on Fred & Ginger, the musical about the passionate and explosive relationship between Hollywood dance legends, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
The project was formerly set up at Amazon but is hitting the open market with Black Bear and financier 30West (The Triangle Of Sadness) now aboard.
UTA Independent Film Group and 30WEST will co-rep U.S. rights. As was previously known, BAFTA-winner Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot) will play Astaire, the technically-driven perfectionist, opposite Margaret Qualley (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) as the naturally gifted Rogers.
The film is aiming to start production later this year. Jonathan Entwistle (The End of the F*cking World) will direct from a script by writer Arash Amel (The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare).
