      After getting a director, the long-delayed ‘Methuselah’ adaptation is now allegedly seeking ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ screenwriter Simon Beaufoy to rework the script.
      May 17, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Moviemaker Danny Boyle has signed on to take charge of Michael B. Jordan’s planned “Methuselah” adaptation.
      “Spider-Man: Homecoming” director Jon Watts had been in talks for the gig last year 2019 when the film was described as a Biblical epic starring Jordan as the titular protagonist, who has managed to survive for over 400 years, while maintaining his youthful appearance.
      However, according to Variety, the project’s concept has since changed, and Warner Bros. studio bosses are now seeking to bring Boyle’s “Slumdog Millionaire” screenwriter Simon Beaufoy onboard to revamp the script, which was previously drafted by “The Bourne Legacy” writer/director Tony Gilroy.
      “Methuselah” has been in development for several years and at one time had Tom Cruise attached as its leading man.
      “Black Panther” actor Jordan was recruited to star in early 2019 and he will also co-produce the movie via his Outlier Society company.

      Feb 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Michael B. Jordan has reportedly joined Christian Bale and Margot Robbie among the cast of David O. Russell’s mysterious comeback film.
      The “Creed” star has joined the project, following the newly cast Robbie and the attached Bale, despite a full schedule that includes starring in the upcoming Denzel Washington directed war movie “Journal for Jordan” and his own production project, “Without Remorse”.
      Russell is reportedly set to direct from his own script, but plot details are being kept under wraps. It will be the filmmaker’s first movie since 2015’s “Joy”.
      The director had been mulling going forward with several projects while trying to put together the cast, before Robbie, Bale, and now Jordan’s schedules opened up, allowing them to sign on for the film.
      Russell will also produce via his New Regency firm. He has received three Best Director Oscar nominations in addition to two screenplay nominations throughout his career.
