Actor Nick Jonas will be taking on the role of KISS frontman Paul Stanley.
Here's a Fresh Take:
Hey there! Nick Jonas, the 32-year-old heartthrob, is stepping into some serious shoes. According to the hot gossip from Deadline, he's in talks for the leading role in the biopic "Shout It Out Loud" - a movie all about the legendary rock band KISS.
The flick zooms in on KISS' beginnings in the '70s. Nick's gonna play Paul Stanley, a band frontman who helped make rock history with their mind-blowing live shows and signature makeup. Production's gonna kick off in late 2025.
A Voice for a Legend
Nick's ready to take charge of the singing parts too, aiming to nail Stanley's near-legendary, powerhouse vocals. He's got some solid groundwork to stand on: He was a Jonas Brother, has sung on Broadway in shows like "Les Misérables", "Hairspray", and "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying", and showed off his acting chops in the mixed martial arts series "Kingdom".
Millions, Millions, and More Millions
"Shout It Out Loud" has been in the works for ages, with KISS members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, along with their manager Doc McGhee, producing[1][2]. So far, no actor's been found for Gene Simmons' part.
KISS, with over 100 million albums sold, is one of the most commercially successful rock bands of all time[2]. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014 and left a lasting impression on music enthusiasts with tracks like "Rock and Roll All Nite". This film promises to spill the beans on the life and times of Stanley and Simmons behind the makeup.
In the upcoming biopic "Shout It Out Loud," Nick Jonas will not only portray Paul Stanley but also lend his voice to the legendary rock band KISS' frontman, showcasing his versatility in the realm of movies-and-tv entertainment. As KISS' biopic gains traction, anticipation mounts for Nick to bring Stanley's near-legendary vocals to life, drawing from his impressive background in singing and acting.
