Sabrina Carpenter is all set to star in an upcoming biopic about the legendary Fred Astaire.
The 27-year-old pop star will appear in the documentary film alongside Tom Holland and Margaret Qualley.
The Espresso singer will play Ginger Rogers, Fred’s longtime dance partner, in the upcoming biopic.
Paul King will direct the upcoming documentary, which is yet to be titled.
“I am thrilled and honored to have been entrusted with telling the story of Fred Astaire and his original dance partner — his big sister Adele — to the big screen,” Paul in a statement.
He further said, “Fred left a timeless legacy of dance on film — most famously in his collaborations with Ginger Rogers — while Adele’s work has been lost to history; indeed, no footage of her dancing survives.”
“The cinematic challenge of bringing to life these icons of the twentieth century is one that I could not imagine without Tom Holland, Margaret Qualley and Sabrina Carpenter by my side,” added Paul.
Fred’s daughter, Ava Astaire McKenzie, also expressed her support for the upcoming biopic.
“I’m delighted to support this endeavor to celebrate the extraordinary careers and enduring legacy of my father and aunt, who were among the biggest musical stars of their era,” Ava said in a statement to Variety.
