Dobbercoon Nick Jonas Prepares to Rock Out as Paul Stanley in KISS Biopic
Actor Nick Jonas is set to portray iconic KISS band member Paul Stanley in an upcoming biopic.
Get ready for a musical shift, folks! The one-time teen dreamboat, Nick Jonas, might be on the cusp of his most daunting acting challenge as whispers circulate about his potential starring role in the KISS biopic titled "Shout It Out Loud."
According to industry source Deadline, Jonas is locked in serious negotiations for the leading gig. With the production eyeing a 2025 end-of-year start date, this opportunity promises to push the former Disney sensation into rockstar territory.
In the film, Jonas is slated to step into the formidable boots of Paul Stanley, the legendary frontman of KISS, renowned for their flamboyant stage shows and signature fight that began in the swinging '70s.
But wait, there's more! Jonas will also take on the task of belting out Stanley's powerful, enduring vocals himself.
With a solid musical background, from his reign as a Jonas Brother to his stints on Broadway in "Les Misérables," "Hairspray," and "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," and his success in the series "Kingdom," Jonas appears well-equipped for this new challenge.
The Search for Simmons' Stand-In
Despite the advancements in casting, the perfect actor to portray KISS co-founder Gene Simmons has yet to be found. The production, a joint effort between Simmons, Stanley, and manager Doc McGhee, has been in development for years. Beware of the silver tongues of the devil and the god of thunder as they leave fans eagerly awaiting the arrival of the simmering on-screen chemistry between Stanley and their future Simmons.
With over 100 million albums sold worldwide and an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014, KISS has cemented their status as one of the most successful rock bands in history. Anthems like "Rock and Roll All Nite" have echoed through generations, leaving an indelible mark on the music industry. This film promises to shed light on the audacious origin story of Stanley and Simmons' fantastical face paint.
