The news that I first posted back on June 22nd and made an update on a few days ago has just now become a hot topic on the web. Several sites are blogging/posting about this movie and Amy’s involvement in it. I’ve read through several of them and none of them offer any more information than we already know. Except one. Deadline claims that they can confirm Amy’s attachment to the movie.

Today the website Fearnet had an interview with film producer Wyck Godfrey about the Twilight Saga, and the subject of a long-in-the-works Janis Joplin biopic came up. Godfrey mentioned in passing that Amy Adams would play the 1960s singer. I can tell you that Amy is indeed confirmed in the role for the film to be directed by Fernando Meirelles (City Of God). There’s no studio involved yet, and the script has been through several drafts.

This is not a site I frequent so I can’t vouch for their accuracy. I’ve put out a few emails but I am honestly not expecting a reply back. So once again we wait. I will, of course, keep you all updated.

• Amy to be Janis Joplin?
• Janis Joplin movie confirmed?
