BILLY EICHNER TO LEAD
 |
| Billy Eichner will both write and star in the film |
FIRST BIG STUDIO GAY ROMCOM
After Crazy Rich Asians became the first big Asian romcom done by major US studios, will a big gay romance movie be the next step? Variety reports today that Universal has set Nick Stoller to direct an untitled romantic comedy which would see Billy Eichner both writing and starring in the story of two gay men who have commitment problems and are attempting a relationship. Judd Apatow is producing. Billy Eichner, who is openly gay privately as well, is currently starring in Netflix comedy series Friends from College and will also lend his voice to crazy meerkat Timon in Disney's live action version of The Lion King directed by Jon Favreau. He was nominated for an Emmy award three times for his own sketch series.
'THE TRANSLATORS' THRILLER
TO PUT OLGA KURYLENKO & LAMBER WILSON IN A BUNKER
 |
| Olga Kurylenko will lead the translators |
As you know, your trusted spy works as a book translator and I can tell you that the job can be unusual sometimes. A few years ago when one of
Dan Brown's new books was sold to foreign publishers, their translators from all the bigger markets were flown to Italy and locked there in a villa for two months without any contact with the outside world so that no information would leak about the new book.
Something like that happens in new thriller
THE TRANSLATORS coming
from France later this year and starring
Olga Kurylenko, Alex Lawther,
Lambert Wilson and
Eduardo Noriega in the story of nine translators,
hired to translate the eagerly awaited final book of a best selling
trilogy, who are confined in a luxurious bunker. When the first ten
pages of the top secret manuscript appear online, the dream job becomes a
nightmare -
