EXCLUSIVE: HBO, Bryan Singer Adapting Bob Fosse Story

Bryan Singer is going from mutants and giants to the life of one of the great choreographer-directors of the 20th Century.

HBO Films has optioned Bye, Bye Life: The Loves and Deaths of Bob Fosse, a forthcoming biography from Sam Wasson. Singer (X-Men, Jack the Giant Killer) is attached to direct the adaptation, which is to be a feature-length film with Neil Meron and Craig Zadan, the duo behind movies such as Hairspray and Chicago and the upcoming remake of Footloose, exec producing. Singer will also exec produce.

The project, which is currently untitled and in early development, will be a co-production with Sony Television. No writer is on board.

Actor, dancer, choreographer and stage and screen director, Fosse himself presented a version of his life in his autobiographical 1979 feature film All That Jazz. That Oscar-winning film starred Roy Scheider as a hard-living choreographer/director determined to push the envelope.

After several early film appearances in movies like Kiss Me Kate, Fosse moved to Broadway, where he choreographed shows like The Pajama Game and Damn Yankees -- on Yankees, he met his future wife, dancer Gwen Verdon.

Fosse created his own, immediately-recognized jazz dance style, full of bowler hats, jazz hands, angular hip thrusts and shrugging shoulders.

On Broadway, he went on to direct and choreograph such shows as Redhead, Sweet Charity, Pippin and Chicago.

He made his film debut as a director with the 1969 movie version of Sweet Charity, starring Shirley MacLaine. His second feature Cabaret won eight Oscars, including best director and best picture.It is an email notification service that notifies buyers about the recent additions to the used inflatable boats for sale available with the company.
