  • Martin Scorsese to helm biopic about rock band ‘Grateful Dead’ starring Jonah Hill

    By ANI

    WASHINGTON: Ace director Martin Scorsese is working on a musical biopic about the rock band Grateful Dead, with actor Jonah Hill, set to star as the iconic band’s frontman Jerry Garcia.

    As per Variety, in addition to directing, Scorsese will serve as a producer alongside Hill. The project reunites Scorsese and Hill for the first time since 2013’s ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’.

    It is not clear what period of the band’s history the still-untitled movie will dramatize. The Grateful Dead formed in the Bay area in 1965 and became one of the key symbols of the counterculture upon releasing a debut album in 1967 that was just as heavy on the members’ love for roots music as the psychedelia of the period.

    Along with Jerry Garcia, founding members include Bob Weir, Ron McKernan, Phil Lesh and Bill Kreutzmann. Garcia’s death in 1995 brought an end to the band. His passing and their breakup did surprisingly little to diminish the Dead’s enduring popularity as Garcia’s songs continued to be played by the offshoot group Dead & Company, which just wrapped its latest tour with a sold-out three-night stand at the Hollywood Bowl.

    The movie is being developed at Apple, where Scorsese is currently working on his next film, ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’, a Western crime drama starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and Jesse Plemons.

    Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski have been hired to pen the screenplay.

    Surviving members of the Grateful Dead have apparently given the upcoming movie their blessing, with Weir, Kreutzmann, Lesh and Mickey Hart on board as executive producers.

    Trixie Garcia, the daughter of Jerry Garcia, and the band’s manager Bernie Cahill will also executive produce, along with Eric Eisner. Additional producers include Hill’s partner Matt Dines through their company Strong Baby and Rick Yorn via LBI Entertainment.

    It’s not currently known when the movie will begin production, but Scorsese is already well versed in the band’s history. In 2017, he executive-produced a six-part documentary series about the Grateful Dead titled ‘Long Strange Trip’.

  • Martin Scorsese to direct Grateful Dead biopic, Jonah Hill to play Jerry Garcia

    LOS ANGELES: Celebrated filmmaker Martin Scorsese is set to direct a biopic on iconic rock band Grateful Dead with actor Jonah Hill attached to play group’s frontman Jerry Garcia.

    The Apple TV Plus project would mark Scorsese and Hill’s first collaboration since 2013’s “The Wolf of Wall Street”.

    The director-actor duo will also serve as producers on the movie.

    According to Deadline, “American Crime Story: The People vs. O. J. Simpson” writers Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski will be penning the script for the biopic.

    It is not clear what period of the band’s history the still-untitled movie will dramatize.

    The Grateful Dead, formed in San Francisco’s Bay area in 1965 amid the rise of the psychedelic counterculture, became immensely popular soon after releasing their debut album in 1967.

    Along with Garcia, founding members include Bob Weir, Ron McKernan, Phil Lesh and Bill Kreutzmann.

    The “jam band” stayed on top for decades until Garcia’s death in 1995 brought an end to the group.

    This would be Socrsese’s second project on the band after 2017’s Grateful Dead documentary “Long Strange Trip”.

    The film is part of Scorsese and his production banner Sikelia Productions first-look deal with Apple.
