Hereafter, Eastwood and Bond vs Mercury – 3 in 1
Hereafter, Eastwood and Freddie Mercury instead of James Bond were most exclusive excerpts from the interview with Peter Morgan, the writer of The Queen, The Last King of Scotland and The Special Relationship.
In 2006 his work on the film ‘The Queen’ awarded him a Golden Globe from the Hollywood Foreign Press. In 2007 he won a BAFTA Film Award for ‘The Last King of Scotland.’ In May 2007, the 50th San Francisco International Film Festival honored Morgan with the year’s Kanbar Award for Excellence in Screenwriting.
Morgan has since finished the script for ‘Hereafter’, a supernatural thriller “in the vein of The Sixth Sense“. DreamWorks bought the screenplay in March 2008.The development was later transferred to Warner Bros., and filming began in October 2009 under the direction of Clint Eastwood. Morgan has recently started writing the screenplay for an upcoming biopic about rock musician Freddie Mercury, who was famous for being the lead vocalist, and songwriter, for the rock band Queen.

Today, we’re here to update a whole thing, because one of the projects, which is being scripted by Frost/Nixon writer Peter Morgan, and will follow the band from its early years to its 1985 Live Aid performance, is expected to begin next year.
That’s exactly what Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor have told Queen Online:
“Work is now fully under way for the much-vaunted feature film on the life of Freddie. Peter Morgan has delivered a first draft of the movie, which everyone is very excited about, and Sacha Baron Cohen is chomping at the bit to get into the role, in a way which certainly would delight Freddie!

Psycho-sexual drama that we already wrote about is definitely something worth keeping an eye on.

360 is based on a play by the Austrian playwright Arthur Shnitzler, who wrote some very provocative plays for his time. 1900 play Reigen inspired French drama “La Ronde” and has provided the dramatic structure for scores of plays and films.
Four Hereafter Clips
Four new clips for Clint Eastwood‘s new film Hereafter, written by Peter Morgan and starring Matt Damon, Cécile De France, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jay Mohr and Richard Kind, have been released.
Synopsis: Hereafter tells the story of three people who are haunted by mortality in different ways. Matt Damon stars as George, a blue–collar American who has a special connection to the afterlife. On the other side of the world, Marie (Cécile de France), a French journalist, has a near–death experience that shakes her reality. And when Marcus (Frankie/George McLaren), a London schoolboy, loses the person closest to him, he desperately needs answers. Each on a path in search of the truth, their lives will intersect, forever changed by what they believe might—or must—exist in the hereafter.
