Lionsgate Acquires George Gershwin-Inspired Fascinating Rhythm
Lionsgate announced on Wednesday that the studio has won the rights to
Fascinating Rhythm, an upcoming musical drama to be produced by Irwin Winkler and Martin Scorsese.
The film, which tells the story of a young woman’s magical journey through past and present New York City, is inspired by the life and music of famed American composer George Gershwin. The film will be directed by Joe Carney, with a screenplay co-written by Carney and Chris Cluess. The film will also be produced by Charles Winkler and David Winkler.
“We’ve been huge fans of all three of these filmmakers for many years, so to have the chance to work with all of them on one project is a thrill for me and the Lionsgate team,” said Joe Drake, Chairman of the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group. “This is a script we couldn’t wait to read from the moment we heard about it and every page delivered.

“To have Mark Romanek board this project says everything you need to know about the quality of this material and where we are taking it tonally and artistically,” said Erin Westerman, President of Production for the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group.
