Thank you Paramount for picking up our film The United States Vs. Billie Holiday .. as one of the first civil rights leaders, her story is one we all must know.

Кинчика с Дайаной Росс им мало.

А ведь его прокатывала Paramount, теперь понятно, почему приобрели именно они.

I'm revealing nothing except that yesterday I saw Andra Day embodying Billie Holiday in a new film by Lee Daniels that will break your heart and fill you with rage and admiration. The United States vs. Billie Holiday is just brilliant!

Andra Day is absolutely flawless and the voice is perfection!

And I understand you have another song that might find its way into a movie this year?

 

It’s still early, but there’s a song Andra Day and I are writing for the Billie Holiday movie that I think is gonna make it. It’ll be a little updated [from Billie Holiday’s music], but it’s gonna have that feel with a little more oomph to it, a little bit of soul to it, little bit of bopping going on. We’re right in the incubator phase of it.

 

If it doesn’t end up in the movie it’ll end up on my next album. That happened the last time I did a song for this movie and they didn’t come back for it. I put it on my album “The Way I See It”; it was called “Keep Marchin’.” It was for a football movie — I forget the name of it but it had a montage with an Elvis Presley song on it and they wanted something more soulful and Black. So I wrote “Keep Marchin’,” and they ended up going with something else. But that song was in like four Lebron commercials [for Samsung] and now it’s my most licensed song ever. So I love working on songs [for movies] — if they don’t make it, I’m sure I’ll use them.

Фильм выйдет в этом году??

Why Studio Films Still Have a Shot at Oscars Despite the Pandemic

Paramount Pictures is walking in with “The United States vs. Billie Holiday” from Lee Daniels, and while still in editing, the early word is very promising especially for Andra Day in the lead role. Trevante Rhodes, who was grossly omitted for “Moonlight,” may also factor into one of acting races, when a category is decided upon.

Права на фильм может приобрести Hulu

The movie, which stars Andra Day as the legendary jazz singer, is currently scheduled for a theatrical release by Paramount on Feb. 26, 2021 in time for this year’s Oscar season eligibility. However sources say that deal with the Melrose Ave. studio never closed, and it hasn’t been determined yet whether or not a Paramount theatrical release will be part of the new deal with Hulu. Details of the deal are not final, but it is expected that Hulu will qualify the film for awards season, which is what Daniels wants.

I understand that the new deal for United States vs. Billie Holiday is twice that what Paramount’s current deal is.

Paramount is not involved here in the sale to Hulu, rather the pic’s financier New Slate Ventures. I understand that the financier needs to make good on the money invested in the film, and that a pure theatrical release would be a rocky proposition given how 60% of the domestic exhibition marketplace continues to be shut down due to COVID-19, including major markets like New York City and Los Angeles.

"Иуда и Ма Рейни" для бедных

Андра Дэй пытается быть джудизеллвегер не курильщика, но ни сценарий, ни режиссер ей в этом не помогают.

Треванте весь фильм проулыбался как дурачок (не его вина), Хедлунд картонка по сравнению с Племонсом

Жаль
