It looks as though Fred Astaire is not the only Hollywood legend to be portrayed on the screen. Deadline has reported that Chris Evans is in talks to play Gene Kelly in a movie set to be written by three-time Academy Award nominee John Logan.
The untitled movie was based on an original idea from Chris Evans and revolves around
a 12-year-old boy who works on the MGM Lot in 1952 and creates an imagined friendship with the legendary movie star Gene Kelly while working on his next film.
For those unfamiliar with Gene Kelly, the legend starred in films such as Anchors Aweigh, An American in Paris, Brigadoon, and of course, Singin’ in the Rain. Kelly’s dance style transformed the industry.
