The post It’s Case Closed for Aaron Sorkin’s Latest Film appeared first on TheDailyDay.
]]>Screenwriter of The Social Network, Aaron Sorkin, was set to direct his second feature film — following Molly’s Game — based on a group of antiwar activists who were accused by the federal government of conspiracy and incitement to riot because of the protests surrounding the 1968 Democratic National Convention.
The film was set to star Sacha Baron Cohen of This is America, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald star Eddie Redmayne, and Jonathan Majors from Hostiles.
Sorkin joined the project as director in October. The film was originally set to be helmed by Steven Spielberg when it began development in 2008 and had been passed over by both Paul Greengrass and Ben Stiller during the last 10 years.
According to sources, budgetary concerns forced production company, Amblin Partners, to shut down production of the picture which was in pre-production and due to start filming in February.
“Aaron just adapted To Kill a Mockingbird, which is premiering on Broadway this Thursday,” read a statement. “He is currently evaluating his schedule and commitments to determine the best time and way to make The Trial of the Chicago 7. Amblin remains involved as a producer.”
Case closed.

J.K. Rowling, the author behind the magical series and its prequels — of which she is also the screenwriter — has urged fans to remain tight-lipped regarding Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.
Although the film only comes out on November 16th, screenings will be held on Sunday, with fans receiving badges which say #ProtectTheSecrets.

Star of the film, Eddie Redmayne, has also urged confidentiality, saying the sequel is filled with Easter Eggs and other spoilers.
But the biggest secret may have (almost) been spilled by the author herself who teased some very exciting news on Twitter…
True. I can’t wait for you all to get caught up, because I’m already one story on and it’s killing me not to be able to discuss CERTAIN THINGS. https://t.co/3Sz1RArqG3

]]>Fantastic Beasts star, Eddie Redmayne, and his wife, Hannah Bagshawe, have become parents for the second time.
The couple has been married since December 2014 (which meant they graced red carpets as newlyweds en route to Eddie winning his Oscar for Best Actor) and welcomed their daughter a year and a half ago.
Now Iris Mary Redmayne will be playing the role of big sister to Luke Richard Bagshawe.
Luke’s birth was officially announced in The London Times which revealed his birthdate as the 10th of March.
The new addition means that the couple will once again have to forgo the luxury of sleep, which Eddie described on The Ellen DeGeneres Show after Iris’s birth by saying, “Before you’re a parent, you hear people talking about [not getting enough sleep], then suddenly you’re the guy who’s floating in a constant jet-lagged [state], with an IV of caffeine.”
But it’s not all bad, as he continued, “It’s that amazing thing when it’s 3 o’clock in the morning and you go in and you’re gently furious, and you get a little smile and your heart breaks a bit, and it’s totally worth it.”
We hope you’ve been brushing up on the theory of everything, Eddie!
