Cannes is full of announcements today.
I can tell you that tomorrow legendary singer Dionne Warwick, one of the greats, will be here to announce she’s made a deal for biopic. AMBI Pictures is producing. Tomorrow we’ll know more after we see Dionne walk on by at the Carlton. Her story is amazing, rising up from her family’s church and gospel group in New Jersey to international fame and fortune. And oh– those hits– from Bacharach and David to Dionne’s later hits like “Heartbreaker” and how she created “That’s What Friends Are For.” Her sister Dee Dee was a famous singer, as was her cousin Whitney Houston. Should be good…
Other side of music world– Courtney Love will star with Joey King in “The Possibility of Fireflies.” Dominique Paul will write the script based on her novel. Deborah Chow is directing. Courtney is better known as a rocker, but she’s had some great moments on screen.
