BREAKING NEWS: THE GREATEST STAR OF ALL will have to wait a while till she can get her CLOSEUP. Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber just announced that production on the film adaptation of his Award winning musical version of Sunset Boulevard has currently been stalled.
Webber (known for his work on hits including The Phantom of the Opera and Cats) recently spoke to Variety sadly to reveal that Paramount Pictures does NOT want to go ahead with the film.
The new film version of SUNSET BOULEVARD was in plans to begin production this past Summer 2021. The film would set to star and be co-produced by Oscar nominee and its original US leading lady Glenn Close reprising her Tony winning portrayal of faded movie star “Norma Desmond”.
Currently, Close and Webber are starting to work out NEW WAYS TO DREAM and finally get this film to happen.
Thoughts?!!
