Paul Mescal embarks on ambitious two-decade long film project 

Paul Mescal has taken on an ambitious project, starring as Franklin Shepherd in the film adaptation of the stage musical Merrily We Roll Along.

The movie, directed by Richard Linklater, will follow the complex relationship between three friends over two decades, from their college days to middle age.

Ben Platt and Beanie Feldstein co-star in this epic tale, which is based on George Kaufman’s 1934 play and Stephen Sondheim’s 1980s Broadway musical.

Although the original musical had a short run, Linklater is bringing it to life on the big screen, with filming expected to span 20 years. By the project’s completion, Mescal will be nearly 50 years old the director reveled to The Times.

“He’s just a transcendent talent and he can really sing. I’m just so happy we connected on this project, right before he went supernova.”

Linklater, renowned for his groundbreaking film Boyhood, has revealed that his upcoming project will be filmed in nine separate blocks.

This ambitious undertaking is expected to be completed in 2041 when Linklater will be around 80 years old.

Despite the long production span, Linklater remains unfazed by mortality, trusting that other capable filmmakers can step in to complete the project if needed.

Meanwhile, Mescal has already begun recording for the first two instalments of the highly anticipated film.

Blake Shelton shares his thoughts on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship

Blake Shelton has recently gushed over Taylor Swift and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce’s relationship.

Speaking on the latest episode of The Pat McAfee Show on September 19, Blake responded to a question about believing in Taylor and Travis while picking up for ESPN’s College GameDay on Saturday, September 21.

“I do, man,” confessed the country musician.

Blake “appreciates the fact that they’re both putting it out there in everybody’s face” and “not sneaking around or trying to hide their romance by keeping it on the down low”.

“I think when you’re willing to just come out and [say] that you’re together and you’re owning [the relationship, it shows their love is real],” said the singer.

Blake mentioned he and Gwen also did the same thing during the early days of his and wife’s relationship.

“Look I’m dating Gwen Stefani and I want the world to know that, you know what I mean,” explained the singer,

Blake noted, “The fact that they’re [doing that] shows they’re probably super into each other and proud of each other and their accomplishments.”

The God’s Country crooner believed that Travis is a “perfect match” for Taylor.

“I’ve been around Travis just once or twice and I don’t think he really has it in him to just … he’s a standout no matter where he is or what he’s doing,” declared the singer.

Blake remarked, “Travis has just got this big personality, he’s a funny guy, he walks into the room and he has a presence there.”

“So, there’s never going to be a moment when he’s in the shadows anyway just because of his charisma and his personality. He owns the moment, whatever that is. I love his personality,” added the musician.

Sophia Bush sighs as the ‘One Tree Hill’ highly-anticipated reboot gets into production after being delayed for about “half a decade”.

“What I can say is that after, God, close to half a decade of these conversations, we’ve been able to all sort of divide and conquer in the coolest way,” she revealed on the Sept. 19 episode of her podcast Drama Queens, while answering fans’ questions about the reboot.

Bush and Hilarie Burton teased the reboot on Instagram in August.

“And those of us with TV producing experience are having some really exciting conversations,” Bush added.

“It’s been in development for some time. I think that’s all I can say,” the actress, who said earlier that she “can’t tell anyone anything” at the moment, continued.

“But,” the 42-year-old added, “yeah, it’s been this experience and really even longer than we’ve had this wonderful show [podcasts].”

“But, the experiences we’ve had with the fans who’ve continually asked the coolest questions and made us think about, you know, where our whole ragtag gang of humans would be at this point [is what] has prompted the ideas.”

“So I think that’s all I can say on this podcast, but I do hope we have exciting updates, and I hope we get great news, and we have a big announcement,” she further shared.
