Amazon picks up Lucille Ball biopic starring Cate Blanchett
It’s been about two years since we learned that Cate Blanchett would star in a Lucille Ball biopic being written by Aaron Sorkin, whose scripts require his actors to dole out speeches and barbs at a pace not unlike that candy conveyor belt. Now Variety reports that there’s a distribution home for all the Club Tropicana and “Vitameatavegamin” hijinks. Amazon has acquired the film, which is being produced by Escape Artists’ Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, and Steve Tisch.
