Cher’s 75th birthday has arrived, & in celebration, she shared the news many fans have been longing for quite a while, a biopic. Deadline first reported that Cher tweeted out that on the eve of celebrating her 75th birthday Thursday, she’ll have her life story unfold on movie screens through Universal Pictures.
The as-yet-untitled film will be written by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Eric Roth, who recently adapted Killers of the Flower Moon that is currently in production with Martin Scorsese directing and co-writing the upcoming Denis Villeneuve-directed Dune.
The Cher film will be produced by Judy Craymer and Playtone’s Gary Goetzman, who produced the Mamma Mia! films with Craymer. That duo will produce with Cher, who starred in the Mamma Mia sequel.
Cher got to know Craymer and Goetzman making 2018’s Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, and Craymer said it was an easy match to team up. On the news of the upcoming biopic, Craymer stated,
“Gary and I are thrilled to be working with Cher again and this time bringing her empowering and true life odyssey to the big screen. One cannot help but be drawn to and inspired by Cher’s larger than life talent, fortitude, unique wit, warmth and vision,”
“Her unparalleled success in music film and TV have inspired generations. We could not be happier to tell her story to cinema audiences.”
There is no denying this will be a monster hit once the film releases.
