Selena starrer Linda Ronstadt biopic; David O. Russell to direct

Filmmaker David O. Russell is set to helm the upcoming Linda Ronstadt biopic, starring Selena Gomez. The music biopic is currently in pre-production, with producers including James Keach, who produced the 2019 documentary Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice, and Ronstadt’s manager, John Boylan.
Gomez cryptically shared her involvement in the biopic earlier this week by posting a picture of Ronstadt’s 2013 memoir Simple Dreams on her Instagram story. No other casting has been announced, reports variety.com. Ronstadt is a country, rock ‘n’ roll and Latin music legend known for her 1970s albums Heart Like a Wheel and Simple Dreams. Throughout her career she has released 29 studio albums, won 11 Grammys, and was honoured by both the Recording Academy and the Latin Recording Academy with Lifetime Achievement Awards. In 2014, Ronstadt was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. (IANS)
