Ryan Murphy is planning a late-career biopic on Marlene Dietrich starring Jessica Lange

Oh, and also: “Jessica Lange and I are working on a piece about Marlene Dietrich in Vegas in the early ’60s,” he says. “But I’m so booked. When am I going to do it? I don’t know.” He sighs and looks momentarily beleaguered. “I’m only into April of next year’s calendar.”

R1 Dietrich’s late-career.

I should’ve written ‘biopic on late-career Marlene Dietrich’.

Oh, no! I hope he doesn't kill himself from all the stress and money he's making.

I love Lange, but Kristin Scott-Thomas is the obvious choice,

R11 She’d be great, too, actually.

Bu t Lange all the way. This would such an amazing project for her.

As much as I would love to see this happen, I'm afraid this characterization would be too much like Elsa Mars. And what exactly is the story to tell? Marlene went to Vegas, sang, wowed the crowd. The end. Was there drama backstage that would fill a two hour movie?

R14 Dietrich is a fascinating character with lots to explore and reveal.

That's a fab jacket he has on OP. Very Sonia Rykiel.
