Woody Harrelson better start heating his pipes. Deadline reported that Woody Harrelson is in talks to join the cast of Sailan ensemble musical pitched by rock of ages creator Chris D’Arienzo.
Sail will follow”a group of musicians in the late 1970s as they discovered the soft sounds and softer lifestyle that was yacht rock, the genre of soft rock music that took over FM radio at that time.” Chris D’Arienzo sold the land for Sail at Lionsgate with Jeremy Plager, who will develop and produce the project with Jonathan Levine, Gillian Bohrer and Woody Harrelson. “Everything about the yacht rock vibe, ethos and lifestyle will be incorporated into this fun and hilarious nostalgic comedy,said Lionsgate president of production Erin Westerman. “We’re thrilled to be working with Jeremy, Jonathan, Gillian, Chris and Woody, and we’re confident it will not only have a phenomenal soundtrack, but will also put you in a summer mood.“
by Chris D’Arienzo rock of ages received five Tony Award nominations in 2009, including Best Musical, Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical, Best Direction of a Musical, and more. It received a big screen adaptation in 2012 starring Tom Cruise, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Russell Brand, Alec Baldwin and Bryan Cranston.
