'PELE' SOCCER BIOPIC GETS
Here's something for my soccer loving boys! Upcoming movie on famous soccer player PELE is slowly gathering its cast! 'Pele' tells the miraculous story of the legendary soccer player's rise to glory from a young boy to the 17-year-old player who scored the winning goal in Brazil's first ever World Cup victory in 1958. From a life full of disadvantages and an impoverished youth in Brazil, Pele used his unorthodox yet authentic style of play and his unbeatable spirit to overcome all odds, find greatness and inspire a country that he changed forever. The cast includes Rodrigo Santoro (300), Vincent D'Onofrio, Diego Boneta (ROCK OF AGES), Colm Meaney (STAR TREK), and Brian Grazer as one of the producers! DOMINIC COOPER TO PLAY
QUEEN'S FREDDIE MERCURY?
Yet, another biopic on a famous person, this one on the leader and singer of glorious rock group QUEEN, FREDDIE MERCURY, is currently courting Dominic Cooper for the lead role. After the living members of the band have refused for horrid Sacha Baron Cohen to get the lead role and thus mock the late singer, Dominic has become the new candidate. It is also not known who will direct the film on the frontman who created hits such as BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, I WANT IT ALL, I WANT TO BREAK FREE, THE SHOW MUST GO ON, RADIO GAGA, WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER, but apparently THE KING'S SPEECH and LES MISERABLES helmer Tom Hooper is the lead contender.
