Bryan Singer Attached to Direct Bob Fosse Biopic For HBO

From Slashfilm:

If you’re looking to make a biopic about Bob Fosse, how do you top his own cinematic autobiography, All That Jazz, structured around the muscular and intense Roy Scheider‘s performance as a lightly fictionalized version of the late choreographer/director?

I honestly don’t know, but it seems as if Bryan Singer is game to try. He’s got Jack the Giant Killer set up, which he’ll make soon, but is also now attached to a film version of the book Bye, Bye Life: The Loves and Deaths of Bob Fossee, which will be produced as a feature for HBO.

If they're going to make a choreographer biopic, I'd rather see Jerome Robbins. He had just as manic a life as Fosse, and he also never made a self-biopic that literally already says everything that could or should be said about his own life.

I think there's more to be said about Jerome Robbins that hasn't been said already.

I think Joseph Gordon-Levitt would make a great young Fosse. (It's much easier, of course, to age an actor than de-age him.) He was very effective in his dance number in 500 DAY OF SUMMER and re-enacted Donald O'Connor's iconic "Make 'Em Laugh" number very adroitly on SNL.

I think JGL would be wonderful. He has an underlying tenseness that fits Fosse like a glove.
