Chris to star in Noel Coward biopic

Buenos wrote:Methinks the indie project has probably  gone to a higher budget as other investors became involved and some things may have changed from the original shooting schedule.

Agree that it seems the production schedule will allow ample time for filming later in the summer.

It will be nice for Chris that he won't have a rushed time filming something, and that the director can take his time with setup.  Struck by Lightning was done in an insanely short period of time.

Chris said he will be busy for the next few years so it's good he has breathing space in between some of these projects.

June 8, 2015 12:05 PM Eastern Standard Time—Organizers of the 1st Annual Periscope Summit have announced their initial list of the events major speakers. This list is a who’s who of the world-class thought leaders in the social media and live broadcasting space.

Grant Cardone, recognized internationally for using social media to make himself and his company known, was one of the first to maximize live broadcasting apps such as Periscope and Meerkat. He made such an impact that Microsoft reached out to interview him about his Periscope experience. [1 ]

Cardone is considered one of the superstars of Periscope broadcasters, delivering serious and serial content on business, start-ups, marketing, money, finance, sales, employment, investing and more. He has been known to broadcast content live daily from his residence in Miami Beach and from his studios at GrantCardoneTV.com.
Ryan A Bell, the founder of Periscope Summit, along with Jamie Grumet and Bradley Laborman will be hosting this conference and have released an initial list of headliners including Grant Cardone. [2 ] Other power players on the list include Andy Dick, Chris Colfer, Brian Fanzo, Jenny Hutt and Dan Moore.

“We’re making so many connections on Periscope that we want to take it to real life,” said Cathy Hackl, a spokeswoman for the Periscope Summit. This Summit is scheduled to be held in New York from September 22 to 25 and then in San Francisco from Jan. 14 to 16. [3 ]

This is probably when they will begin filming.


Knowing Joe can no longer reveal much of anything, we have to still wait when the others are ready to reveal everything.

At least we finally have a date.

They will probably do as much filming as they can before Chris heads to the conference.

Stephenson impresses as well with a striking wisdom beyond his young age. With a visual and emotional palette reminiscent of British flicks in the same narrative realm like The Selfish Giant, Chicken is one of those films that stir up such an internal turmoil you keep thinking about it for days after credits roll: a modern day fairy tale dipped in social commentary with Dickensian undertones from fresh British talent that more than just a promise, is already a beautiful reality.
