Austin Crute Joins Searchlight Pictures “The Greatest Hits”
Earlier this summer, Disney’s Searchlight Pictures acquired the rights to “The Greatest Hits”, which is a soulful romantic comedy centring on the connection between music and memory.
It will star Lucy Boynton, who has previously starred in “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “The Politician“ and according to Deadline, Austin Crute will also star in the film. Austin has previously starred in FX’s “Atlanta”, along with “Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul” and Universal’s “They/Them”.
“The Greatest Hits” is going to be directed and written by Ned Benson, who has previously directed “The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby”.
VP of Production Richard Ruiz and Creative Executive Cornelia Burleigh are overseeing for Searchlight Pictures, reporting to Heads of Production and Development DanTram Nguyen and Katie Goodson-Thomas.
The film is produced by Groundswell Productions’ Michael London and Shannon Gaulding, along with Benson, Stephanie Davis and Cassandra Kulukundis.
It’s not yet been revealed if this will be released theatrically first or if it will be released directly on Disney’s streaming services.
