You may remember Martin Scorsese’s Howard Hughes biopic THE AVIATOR from a decade ago (feeling old), but at the time there were many rumoured Hughes biopics making the rounds, one of which was to be a labour of love from Warren Beatty. In fact, Beatty has been working on his own biopic for the last two decades. Beatty has received funding towards the $26.7 million budget via two billionaires Ron Burkle and Steve Bing, with support from New Regency and RatPac Entertainment.
Beatty is set to star as Hughes while also directing, but the focus of the film will be on Hughes’ assistant and their lover, played by Alden Ehrenreich and Lily Collins respectively. Beatty hasn’t appeared in a film since 2001’s TOWN & COUNTRYand hasn’t directed since 1998’s BULWORTH. But then again, Beatty’s never overloaded himself with work.
The upcoming biopic has already shot some footage, but will really hit the ground running from now. The idea of not having Hughes at the centre of the story is quite a fascinating one, and Beatty is bound to be able to bring in some excellent talent due to his connections in the industry. The film will already star Beatty’s wife Annette Bening, as well as Matthew Broderick in supporting roles.
