According to the boys of line, Apple Studios is negotiating for get the rights to a new movie for its streaming video platform, although everything is still up in the air. We are talking about the movie The Greatest Beer Run Ever, a movie directed by Peter Farrelly (Green Book).
In the cast of this new film, which is not closed either, you would find Zack efron (The Great Showman, Baywatch) and Russell Crowe (Gladiators). Bill Murray (On the rocks, Lost in translation, Ghostbusters) would also find himself negotiating a supporting role.
This new movie is based on the book The Greatest Beer Run Ever: A Memoir of Friendship, Loyalty and War written by Chick Donahue and JT Molloy. The script is written by Peter Farrley, Pete Jones and Brian Currie. In production is the Skydance studio which features David Ellison, Don Granger and Dana Goldberg.
Beer Run tells the story of Donahue leaving New York in 1967 to bring beer to his childhood companions in the military who are fighting in Vietnam.
Donohue took a good idea to the extreme, hitchhiking on a Merchant Marine ship, then carrying beer through the jungle while trying to locate his three friends.
Dressed in Hawaiian shorts and shirts, he was mistaken for the CIA, which facilitated his endeavor. Finally, when he completed his beer career, the Tet Offensive occurred.
The Tet Offensive was a military operation by the government of Vietnam and carried out by the Vietcong in 1968 against the allied forces led by the United States, an offensive that was a failure but that shocked the American public and was the beginning of the end of the negotiations to end the war.
In the role of Donahue, Zack Efron will find himself, if he finally gets the role. This new project has planned istart the recordings next August between New Zealand and Australia.
