Tom Holland Shares Fred Astaire Biopic Update, Wants To Film Dance Scenes As Oners: “How He Would Have Done It”

Deadline · 4 hours ago

Tom Holland discussed his upcoming Fred Astaire biopic during a recent appearance on Good Morning America, revealing that production will move forward after his current promotional commitments conclude. The actor emphasized both the excitement and considerable challenge of the role, having completed initial rehearsals that highlighted the significant work required to do justice to the legendary dancer's legacy.

Holland outlined an ambitious vision for the film's choreography, expressing his intention to perform all dance scenes personally without stunt doubles and to film complete sequences in single uninterrupted takes—a technique that mirrors how Astaire famously shot his own iconic numbers. The project, directed by Paul King and written by Lee Hall, represents a continuation of Holland's established connection to dance, building on his earlier lead role in Billy Elliot: The Musical on London's West End.
