Nick Jonas was made for rock ‘n’ roll, at least onscreen, as he’s been tapped to play Kiss frontman Paul Stanley in an upcoming biopic about the glam rock band.
The 32-year-old pop star will reportedly lead the cast of Shout It Out Loud, a film that’s said to follow the rockers’ early days in the 1970s, according to Deadline.
Sources told the outlet that Jonas will be doing his own singing, but that he’ll need time to train in order to replicate Stanley’s voice. The film is slated to begin production late this year or early next.
Shout It Out Loud is being helmed by McG, the director known for films like Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, The Babysitter and most recently, 2024’s Uglies.
No other casting decisions have been revealed, though McG reportedly has someone unidentified in mind to take on the role of bassist and co-vocalist Gene Simmons.
None of the people involved in the project nor any members of the band had publicly remarked on the news as of Thursday afternoon.
Though Jonas is most well-known for his part in the music trio the Jonas Brothers — alongside older bros Joe and Kevin — he’s certainly made the rounds on stage and screen. He most recently appeared in this year’s You’re Cordially Invited for Amazon Prime Video, alongside Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell.
Jonas is currently starring with Adrienne Warren in The Last Five Years, which opened at the Hudson Theatre in April. He previously appeared onstage in the musicals How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying and Annie Get Your Gun. – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
