Is it just me, or over the last few months are we having to talk more about films that get canceled or put “on hold” as much as we do about movies that actually get made? Anyway, this one doesn’t strike me as sad news… since I’m not really looking forward to the movie anyway… but according to the good folks over at Cinematical, the Janice Joplin movie “Gospel According to Janis“, which was supposed to start production back in November, is now “On hold”.
According to an interview with VH1, Zooey Deschanel says that the movie is currently “on hold.” Why? Deschanel says it “seems like it’s been hard to get all the money and the rights in place.” However, she wasn’t specific on which rights are causing the hold — the life or music rights.
Meh… who cares? i know I’m probably in the minority here… but I’m pretty full up on musical Biopics right now, and to be very honest, I really don’t see any appeal in Janice Joplin whatsoever.
