Any news on Glenn Close's "Sunset Boulevard" movie? October is almost here!

According to all the press reports earlier this year (January - March), ALW's "Sunset Boulevard" was supposed to start production in a few weeks - October ( think it was to finish in December, from what I read). Anyhow, we're very close to October and I haven't found any info on the status of the movie - not even costars. (Just the director was announced last winter). Has anyone heard anything? I hope this project is not in limbo again.

On film, won't a 70-something Norma wanting to play teenage Salome make it a comedy?

This is a highly anticipated project so extensive coverage would be taking place like casting of all the principal roles. IN THE HEIGHTS released info weeks before the film started principal photography as did WEST SIDE STORY and CATS."

That's what I was afraid of, actually. I had high hopes after the Oscars, and so much was talked about. Then....poof! Nothing.

Anything?!

Add to the casting issue the fact that the musical follows the original film, practically beat by beat. It might not matter if ALW musicals were making money as films; but since they are not, doing a musical film that was already better as a non-musical film and concerns a genre (silent movies) now forgotten by most of the movie-going public, seems impossible, even by Hollywood standards.
