Michael Hutchence biopic in production
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 23 November 2012
A film about the life of late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence is currently in production with the working title ‘Two Worlds Collide’. Based on the biography ‘Just A Man: The Real Michael Hutchence’, which was written by the singer’s mother Patricia and sister Tina, the screenplay is currently being penned by Bobby Galinsky. A director and cast are expected to be announced early next year.
Galinsky, reports the NME, told Encore Magazine: “I chased the idea twelve years ago but there was so much litigation and family issues, it looked too harsh. But recently I was made aware of Trevor Ray Field – who was good friends of Tina Hutchence – and he brought me the book. Over the course of the last month we negotiated the rights with Tina, and we hit the mark. I like music biopics to be about the person, not just sex, drugs and rock n roll. It’s going to be a heartfelt, interesting project about a complex life, like ‘Ray’ or ‘Walk The Line'”.
