MERYL STREEP TO PLAY
SUSAN BOYLE IN A BIOPIC?!?
Well, here's a delightful piece of news this Tuesday: British singing star Susan Boyle (who became an overnight sensation when she appeared at a British singing talent show looking like a plump housewife and then vowed the crowds with some opera singing) will have her own biopic made by Fox Searchlight who bought the rights on her story, but she has now revealed that no other than Meryl Streep has been approached by the producers with the offer to take the lead role. This isn't actually all that surprising since we've seen Meryl doing unbelievable physical transformations for her roles. Four years ago there was also a rather charming gossip about Robin Williams being offered the very same role too. Just picture it, I think he would be amazing in it too!
GRANT GUSTIN'S THE FLASH
GETS A STANDALONE PILOT!
Meanwhile, in television news, Deadline reports that instead of
presenting The Flash in episodes of THE ARROW show and using the last
season episode of that show as a backdoor pilot episode for THE FLASH, the red
costumed hero will now get his own separate pilot. He will appear in
episodes 8 and 9 of THE ARROW but will then get his separate show pilot
in which he will appear for the first time in his red costume. This
happened after the producers have seen those two episodes with The Flash
which were very well received. Grant Gustin, who plays THE FLASH in THE
ARROW will appear in those two episodes only as Barry Allen, the man
who later on becomes the super fast hero THE FLASH. Now the standalone
pilot will delve deeper into his own story. There were rumours that
Grant Gustin might play The Flash in future JUSTICE LEAGUE movie too!

TIM ALLEN IN ADVENTURES
OF THE PENGUIN KING TRAILER!
If you are looking for a relaxing and fun film to watch with your kids and the family these holidays, here is something for you: ADVENTURES
OF THE PENGUIN KING is a mixture of documentary adventure and comedy with famous comedian Tim Allen voicing the lead real life penguin whose adventures are followed in the film by cameras. The film follows Rex – a King Penguin voiced by Tim Allen – starting as a young King Penguin living near the remote island of South Georgia also known as “Penguin City,” a sub-Antarctic habitat that plays host to leopard and elephant seals, albatrosses, and six million penguins. After years at sea as a bachelor, Rex’s adventure begins when he ventures to start a family. The movie is out December 6th!
Very funny Penguin King i love it .
ReplyDeleteCheers .
It's rather charming, isn't it? :)
Deletei think susan boyle should play susan boyle or me i can do it... wait, nope go with the first choice!
ReplyDeleteYou'd be marvellous in the role, J-man! Now, tell us... do you sing like an angel?
DeleteArrow is one of my favorite shows right now. I hope Grant Gustin does a good job as the Flash.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed... although I'm almost sure he will not be able to beat brilliant John Wesley Ship who played The Flash in the legendary 90's show :)
DeleteI'm surprised it's taken so long to get another Flash TV show off the ground. Personally, I was a huge fan of the 1990 series John Wesley Shipp and the lovely Amanda Pays (who will always be Theora Jones for me). Looking forward to a new take on it.
ReplyDeleteI grew up with that show, Bob, and loved both John and Amanda in it, their chemistry and the innocence of the whole plot. Shows weren't so violent back in the days
DeleteDoes the world REALLY need a biopic of Susan Boyle?
ReplyDeleteOne of our blogging friends just asked me the very same question over at Facebook :) They've finished a biopic on Paul Potts, the first winner of that singing competition, so I'm guessing Susan is next in line
DeleteI hear Arrow is a really good show
ReplyDeletewouldn't really know. haven't seen it myself
DeleteOh, Em, Gee I about spit out my coffee laughing at the thought of Robin Williams playing Susan Boyle. That would be hysterical!!!!! I think Kathy Bates would be an excellent choice.
ReplyDeleteClick the red link in the post and you will see that Robin could pull it off brilliantly :) I wouldn't mind if he would play myself in a biopic :)
DeleteGood for Susan Boyle. She deserves to have that kind of recognition.
ReplyDeleteshe is a charming lady!
DeleteI like her. She transforms well into characters.
ReplyDeleteNo one does it better than her!
DeleteMeryl Streep to play Susan Boyle? Bloody brilliant! If anybody can do it, it is she :)
ReplyDeleteno doubt she can :)
DeleteI wonder will she put on the weight or wear a padded suit?
ReplyDeletewell if she even accepts the role.... and if the biopic even happens
DeleteMeryl can pull off anything.
ReplyDeleteThe penguin movie looks cute.
sure she can :) Glad you liked the penguins!
DeleteMeryl is amazing and she can sing.
ReplyDeleteshe's incredible!
DeleteMeryl Streep is my favorite actor. I'd love to see how she does in that role!
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see it if she takes it :)
DeleteTim Allen always does a great job with his VoiceOver work. I will be catching the penguin movie.
ReplyDeleteHe is my fave comedian and I never miss his LAST MAN STANDING sitcom even though he's republican in it :)
DeleteI love Meryl Streep in everything she plays in, and Tim Allen is excellent in his voice overs.
ReplyDeleteHi Dezzy *waves, smiles, winks*
.........dhole
Waves back
DeleteIf anybody else would be playing Susan Boyle in that movie, I wouldn't even think about seeing it. Now that I know that Meryl Streep is doing it, I will see it. Not because I care about Susan Boyle at all, but because Ms. Streep will have another opportunity to wow us with one of her amazing transformations.
ReplyDeleteshe is always a spectacle to watch!
DeleteI'm now curious to watch Grant Gustin as The Flash.
ReplyDeleteI think the episode with him aired this week or will air next one? Not sure
DeleteAnimal crackers, that's what I'm thinking of seeing that trailer of the Penguin king. A must see I think!
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Peter
An absolute must see :)
