ColferInspired: are you still around? please educate us. very very curious. it seems that NC is a heavy chain smoker so cigarettes are probably a constant prop for this character.

maybe chris knows how to smoke (a lot of actors learn to smoke so they can play smokers when required but they don't have to smoke in real life) and he will use the real thing.

why am i so obsessed w/ smoking? i personally hate smoking, but i can't sleep. my mind is full of busy "alsdkjf dslkjf dsjfdsal; fjdasfj " stuff so might as well discuss about cigarettes/smoking here.

I smoke, and an easy way to pretend you smoke is to blow in the cigarette instead of sucking in. The cigarette's tip will get red and burn up as if you inhaled, and with a crafty camera work, you don't show the smoker exhale, and tada!!! Plus, instead of using tobacco cigarettes, you use herbal ones, so no nicotine involved

I second this. This is about Chris and Chris only (plus obviously everything connected to the movie).

Also agree.

That's fair..however there is going to be overlap in the Glee related threads (Glee discussion, Glee spoilers) for obvious reasons for Season 6.

Noel Coward was a writer, composer, actor and singer, known for his smartness and his wit. He also was gay.
This role is absolutely perfect for Chris. Smile

If this production gets big names like Ian and Vanessa, and if they market it well, this could be really big and an enormous boost of Chris' career.
I'm so proud. crycry

Also: British accent. ded

And imagine if he gets to sing as well!!!!!!!! panik

^That will be inevitable, I think. But we at least can keep the usual Glee bitching out of the movie thread (restraint yourselves guys and girls, lol).

Part of me is glowing and laughing because this announcement literally came at the tail end of Glee's season 5 finale, as if Chris was waiting to drop that bomb on the Glee fans (he must have had to it on his fingers and bite his tongue lately to not burst the news out too soon).
So I guess that whatever direction Glee is taking next season it won't involve Kurt much, if they get a decent amount of episodes for season 6 at all, that is.

I can hear the Klainers from here:
"Ooooh, what will happen to Klaine if Chris won't be able to film (much) in the fall?" Trollololol. Razz

Martin Sherman wrote the screenplay. Award winning Martin Sherman.

OMG, Chris with a script he can sink his teeth into.

^ there are still G-threads on this board. we can dump all the Gs and Bs and whatever there.

Buenos 5/14/2014, 4:32 am

I just realized that Kurt has ANOTHER movie project that hasn't been spilled.

After mentioning "Robo Dog" he referred to several movie projects that were going to be lined up.

Wouldn't have thought this possible, but I wonder if FOX, having washed their hands of Glee, would be nice enough to let Kurt just do a couple of episodes to conclude the season 6 and Chris is working on his movies back to back.

Don't judge me but now I want that second movie role revealed. phr34r

We can dump the G's and B's altogether in the dumpster as far as I'm concerned. I doubt season 6 will amount to much, and Chris clearly has far superior and better things to do from now on. Smile

thank you for the info. on the side note even herbal cigarettes are bad, because when you burn any plant materials, they produce carcinogentic substances including tar. these are the ones that causes long term smokers cancer. nicotine do not cause cancer, but is addictive.

i am surprised that NC is such a heavy chain smoker consider that he sings and performs.

p.s. i went on YT to watch some of his numbers. i bet chris will be SINGING in this movie!!!

Lottie2303 5/14/2014, 4:35 am

The news are getting better and better. I somehow thought this is a small indie, but with all those prestigious names attached ohmy

I just really hope Chris will nail the accent. So many actors in the past were slammed for accents, despite great acting. Chris really, really needs to nail it (but I am optimist and know Chris is a perfectionist).

After listening to both TLoS audiobooks I have no doubt he will nail it. hapitgh

O God, I'm so f*cking happy about this news. Chris to star in Noel Coward biopic - Page 3 Woohoo

I just realized that filming in London, Chris is going to be stalked by our very own Georgette.... phr34r

Just a Wild guess.

But i think maybe, just maybe Chris could squeeze some LOS book signings much easier across the pond this summer???

You are just being a good, greedy fan. My personal preference would be to tail Chris agent, knowing every single decision of his career as soon as it happens. Screw it, I want to be the third family member of the Colfer-Sherrod household. I wonder if I can disguise myself as pet? areu

Damn, Chris is going to make one sexy Noel Coward.

This film is about his early life, so Chris will be doing tonnes of filming.

And is going to already get a premiere after it finishes.
