Los Angeles, July 16 (IANS) Three-time Oscar nominee Woody Harrelson, who received positive response for his work as Cletus Kasady in Venom: Let There Be Carnage, is currently in negotiations to join Lionsgates ensemble 1970s jukebox musical Sailing from Rock of Ages creator Chris DArienzo, reportsDeadline.
The project is billed as a bunch of musicians in the late 1970s as they discover the smooth sounds and smoother lifestyle that is yacht rock, the soft rock music genre that took over FM radio during that era.
DArienzo, according to Deadline, sold the pitch with Jeremy Plager, who will develop and produce with MegaMix (Jonathan Levine and Gillian Bohrer) and Harrelson.
Speaking of yachts, Harrelson recently starred as the hysterical, Marxist captain of one in the Cannes Film Festival Palme dOr winning comedy Triangle of Sadness.
In a statement accessed by Deadline, Erin Westerman, Lionsgates President of Production, said: Everything about the yacht rock vibe, ethos and lifestyle will be brought on board this fun and hilarious nostalgic comedy.
Were thrilled to be working with Jeremy, Jonathan, Gillian, Chris, and Woody, and were confident that it will not only have a phenomenal soundtrack, but it will also put you in a summertime mood.
Levine and Bohrers Megamix has a first-look film and television deal with Lionsgate; and theyre behind the studios sequel to Dirty Dancing, with Jennifer Grey reprising her role as Baby Houseman. They also have Mick Fleetwoods musical drama, 13 Songs, in development at Fox.
