amy adams as janis joplin in biopic



Amy Adams is set to play rock 'n roll legend Janis Joplin (who died of heroine overdose in 1970) in an upcoming film to be produced by Twilight producer Wyck Godfrey.

According to Showbiz Spy:

Amy Adams is gonna be a rock star — on the big screen!
The Leap Year actress is reportedly in talks to play legendary musician Janis Joplin.
Twilight producer Wyck Godfrey brought up the project during a recent interview — and mentioned in passing that Adams would be starring as Joplin in a film about her life.

Entertainment Weekly says:
Amy Adams’ reps have confirmed that the 35-year-old actress will portray Janis Joplin in the biopic to be directed by Fernando Meirelles (City of God) and produced by Temple Hill Entertainment. Whether or not this movie actually makes it to the big screen is another matter entirely. Meirelles may be co-writing the most recent draft of the script, but he is set to direct360 — a BBC Films project written by Peter Morgan — prior to beginning work on Joplin. Also, the film does not yet have a studio partner, though a source says Temple Hill is talking to Fox Searchlight about the film. Until a deal is reached though, financing on the project remains shaky.
