Glee‘ Chris Colfer is attached to star in Noel, the Noel Coward biopic that follows the early life of the British playwright who wrote Private Lives and Blithe Spirit, a well as films like In Which We Serve, for which he was Oscar-nominated.
Sir Ian McKellen, Vanessa Redgrave, and Jonathan Pryce are also in talks to join the film.
The production plans a late summer start in the UK.
Really looking forward to seeing this biopic! Chris Colfer is someone who can do justice to Noël Coward’s early years; I hope very much that Vanessa Redgrave, Ian McKellan and Jonathan Pryce all join, as well. A trio of Tony Award winners and a young Golden Globe winner, plus an iconic subject and excellent production team…how can they miss?
