Filmmaker James Mangold and 20th Century Studios are teaming up to develop a biographical drama film about the life of silent-screen legend Buster Keaton, with Mangold set to direct and produce the feature.

Ford v. Ferrari director James Mangold to helm the biopic on silent-star Buster Keaton

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film is based on the book “Buster Keaton: Cut to the Chase” by Marion Meade. Joseph Frank “Buster” Keaton, one of Hollywood’s most iconic talents, was a pioneer in the early days of silent movies and is considered one of the great physical comedians in film history. The book “explores Keaton’s often brutal childhood acting experiences, the making of his masterpieces, his shame at his own lack of education, his life-threatening alcoholism and his turbulent marriages.”

With Indiana Jones 5 heading towards the end of its production, James Mangold books his next “high priority” project as the executives meet with writers to adapt the biography based on the book.

Buster Keaton was a legendary actor, comedian and filmmaker who worked on numerous critically-acclaimed silent films, including Sherlock Jr, The General and The Cameraman. The “Silent Star” was famous for his physical comedy with a consistent deadpan expression that earned him the nickname 'The Great Stone Face'.

On the work front, James Mangold is currently working on the highly anticipated Indiana Jones sequel, which will see Harrison Ford reprise his titular role alongside Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Mads Mikkelsen. The Oscar nominated writer-director is known for his great sense for emotional storytelling and rich character driven narratives in massive scale blockbusters like Logan, Oscar nominated 3:10 To Yuma, other critically acclaimed biopics like the Walk the Line and Ford v. Ferrari.

Dhurandhar is all over the internet and it has become a big talking point thanks to its real-life references, performances, certain moments and of course the music. A day after its release on December 5, the song ‘FA9LA’, featuring Akshaye Khanna’s character Rehman Dacait, making a dramatic entry at a celebration in Balochistan, has gone viral. The song is very catchy and there’s no way an active social media user hasn’t seen its videos and Reels. In an interview with Mid-Day, choreographer Vijay Ganguly shared some interesting trivia about working on the track. Vijay Ganguly began by saying that the dance was done spontaneously by Akshaye Khanna. He said, “Originally, he was supposed to enter, walk through the dancers, and sit on the throne. Seeing the scene’s mood and the dancers’ performance, the fantastic actor that Akshaye is, he said he would dance a bit when he walks in. None of us knew what he was going to do. Akshaye entered the scene, took it from that point, and spontaneous...
