(ANSA) – NEW YORK, DECEMBER 06 – “Spider-Man” star Tom Holland will be Fred Astaire in a new Sony biopic about the legendary actor and dancer. This was confirmed by the actor himself after producer Amy Pascal suggested in a recent profile on ‘GQ’ that Holland would be ideal for the part of Astaire as well as for a new trilogy in the “Spider-Man” series. The project is still in the early stages. “The script arrived a week ago,” said Holland, who took his first steps as an actor in the West End playing the part of Billy Elliott on the stage during an event organized to promote the new “Spider-Man: No Way Home. “:” I haven’t read it yet, they haven’t given it to me yet. ” Fred Astaire was one of the most popular dancers of all time: over the course of seven decades he made more than 30 musical films as well as having had a brilliant theatrical career on Broadway and the West End. Thirty made ten films with him including classics such as “Swing Time”, “Seeking My Love” and “Top Hat”. The one with Tom Holland isn’t the only Fred Astaire project in the works: Jamie Bell, who brought the role of Billy Elliott to the cinema in 2000 in the Oscar-nominated film, will be the dancer in an Amazon production in which Margaret Qualley will play Ginger Rogers. The film will tell the story of the partnership between the two artists starting with “Carioca” in 1933 and ending with “The Barkleys of Broadway” in 1949. (ANSA).
