Legendary picks newcomer to play Jackie Robinson

BosemanRobinsonFordLegendary Pictures is swinging for the fences with its Jackie Robinson biopic "42," tapping relative newcomer Chadwick Boseman to play the Brooklyn Dodgers infielder and Harrison Ford to play baseball executive Branch Rickey. Brian Helgeland will direct from a script he penned. Pic follows the iconic story of Robinson, the first African-American to play in the major leagues. Rickey, the innovative Major League Baseball executive who is best known for breaking MLB's color barrier by signing Jackie Robinson to a minor league contract in 1945. Two years later, at the start of the 1947 major league baseball season, Robinson was signed to the Brooklyn Dodgers major league baseball team with the help of Rickey. While Rickey has been the role most speculated in recent weeks, the role of Robinson was sought after by several actors including "Friday Night Light"'s Michael B. Jordan and "Stomp the Yard"'s Columbus Short. Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni will produce, with Dick Cook exec producing. No distributor is set for the pic. Legendary worked early on in development with Robinson's widow, Rachel Robinson, to ensure the movie adaptation of the famed player's story is authentic. Ironically, Boseman also appeared in "The Express," which was based on the true story of Ernie Davis (played by Rob Brown), the first African-American to win the Heisman Trophy. He repped by Greene & Associates. Contact Justin Kroll at justin.kroll@variety.com

That's When George Lucas Lent Chewbacca to Glee

First, George Lucas loaned Yoda to a Japanese instant noodle company in need of a marketing face (and wisdom applicable to ramen). And now, in an even bigger burn to U.S. Star Wars fans, the franchise creator has shipped Chewbacca to the set of Glee for a one-episode arc. What is this world coming to? Before you starting writing George Lucas more tear-stained hate mail though, let’s learn a little more about Chewbacca’s big break on the Fox song and dance series. Maybe the Star Wars character will play a role so pivotal and life-changing for Glee’s impressionable youth that fans will have no choice but to support the cameo. Maybe, after the New Directions endure another brutal act of bullying by their peers, Chewbacca appears in Schue’s classroom to deliver an unintelligible, five-minute battle cry which Puck interprets as a profound statement about the power of acceptance. Afterward, Chewbacca leads the class in a stripped-down performance of “True Colors.” Okay, scratch that. Matthew Morrison explained on Jimmy Kimmel Live that the Fox series is using Chewbacca for a dream sequence during the show’s upcoming holiday episode, “Extraordinary Merry Christmas” — which will be a “Christmas special within the episode of Glee.” “We called up George Lucas and he gave us Chewbacca,” Morrison, who directed the special Star Wars-tie in episode, explained. “There is only one guy who can officially be Chewbacca, and he lives in Northern California and they flew him in. We had Chewbacca for the day, and it was just great, and we were all taking pictures with him.” Sorry, Star Wars fans. George Lucas lent out Chewbacca for a run-of-the-mill dream sequence cameo. Television producers, let it be known that Lucas would probably be willing to loan out R2-D2 and C-3PO for sweeps week appearances. Chewbacca to Guest Star on Glee’s Christmas Episode! [Us]
