'Paddington' director Paul King has signed on to direct Sony's Fred Astaire biopic starring Tom Holland.
Paul King is ready to tune up the band, as the filmmaker has been hired by Sony to direct a Fred Astaire biopic, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Tom Holland had been previously announced as attached to star in the movie, which will focus on Astaire's relationship with his sister, Adele. The Astaire siblings found plenty of success with their live shows, going from the Midwest to Broadway and London's West End.
It appears that Holland is going back to his theater roots, as the actor spent most of his time on stage before being cast in major Hollywood titles, such as the Spider-Man films. When he was a kid, the actor starred as Michael Caffrey, Billy Elliot's best friend, in the West End production of the play. After a few months, he would be promoted the lead role of the show.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY King is known for directing the Paddington films. Starring Ben Wishaw as the voice of the adorable bear, the movies tell the story of the titular hero, who is adopted by the Brown family after leaving the jungles of "Darkest Peru". While it is unclear if fans will get a third Paddington installment, King is keeping himself busy in the meantime, as the director is currently working on a Willy Wonka prequel starring Timothée Chalamet.
