Exclusive: Andy Warhol muse and Lgbtq icon Candy Darling is about to serve up some gag-worthy glamour on the big screen. Transparent alums Stephanie Kornick and Zackary Drucker have signed on to work on a biopic about the pioneering transgender actress produced by Christian D. Bruun, Katrina Wolfe, and Louis Spiegler.
Kornick will write the screenplay and Drucker has boarded the project in an advisory and executive producing role. A director and star have yet to be announced. Kornick and Drucker’s involvement in the project advance the need for representation behind the camera, giving a more authentic gaze to Lgbtq stories. This has been evident in Hollywood with Transparent as well as Ryan Murphy’s Pose on FX.
“I am deeply honored to be entrusted with the responsibility of adapting Candy’s incredible life story for the big screen,” says Kornick.
