Not content with producing virtually every series on television, Love, Simon director Greg Berlanti has signed on for his latest big screen project, a biopic of Hollywood legend Rock Hudson for Universal Pictures.
Based on the upcoming Mark Griffin book All That Heaven Allows: A Biography of Rock Hudson, the film will explore the life of the Oscar-nominated actor and matinee idol, who passed away in 1985 aged 59, becoming the first major celebrity to die of an AIDS-related illness.
Berlanti – who recently set a record for the most-scripted series on the air at any one time in 15 – will take on directing duties on the biopic, as well as producing the film with Sarah Schechter for Berlanti Film Corp. and Sherry Marsh for Marsh Productions & Entertainment, Inc.
