Chris Evans is in talks to step into the shoes of legendary actor Gene Kelly in a developing film project produced by John Logan, "Variety" has confirmed.
According to a source close to the project, the untitled film is based on Evans’ original idea in which a 12-year-old boy who works on the MGM Lot in the 1950s finds an imaginary friend in Kelly while working on his newest film.
Evans is also expected to serve as a producer on the film alongside Mark Kassen and Rian Johnson, while the script will be penned by three-time Academy Award nominee John Logan – whose previous work includes Gladiator, The Aviator and Bond flicks Skyfall and Spectre.
No further details have been revealed at this stage – with no studio or director currently attached, but it certainly looks like an intriguing project.
