Vanity Fair has shared the first look at a neat project that's slated to debut at Quibi.
Many of us have been finding creative things to do while social distancing and quarantining ourselves in our homes. Bands have been making news music, writers have been working on newly written works of art, and aspiring filmmakers have been working on screenplays.
Celebrities have been doing the same exact thing.
Big Hollywood names have been secretly working on a low-budget recreation of The Princess Bride. It was all shot with their own phones, too. Inconceivable!
Honestly, it sounds like it can be one of the most ridiculous remakes ever, but it was all done to raise big bucks for charity.
Vanity Fair shared the first look at the neat project that's slated to debut at Quibi.
The film apparently opens with Common in Cary Elwes’ role as Westley, Tiffany Haddish plays Robin Wright’s Princess Buttercup, and then Hugh Jackman takes on the role as Chris Sarandon’s evil Humperdinck.
Here are some other famous names taking on the movie’s characters:
Jennifer Garner, Sam Rockwell, Leslie Bibb, Neil Patrick Harris and his husband David Burtka, Chris Pine and Annabelle Wallis, a gender-swapped Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, Lucas Hedges, Jenna Ortega, David Oyelowo, Jack Black, Diego Luna, J.K. Simmons, Catherine Reitman, Andy Serkis, Elijah Wood, Beanie Feldstein, Dave Bautista, Dennis Haysbert, Taika Waititi, David Spade, Jon Hamm, Stephen Merchant, Mackenzie Davis, Nicholas Braun, Robert Wuhl, Don Johnson, Ari Graynor, Thomas Lennon, Brandon Routh, Courtney Ford, Zoey Deutch, Zazie Beetz, Patton Oswalt and his daughter Alice, Rainn Wilson, Pedro Pascal, Jason Segel, Retta, and Keegan Michael Key.
Quibi donated one million dollars to the World Central Kitchen charity to stream the project. That will pay for 100,000 meals for those who need it. This version of The Princess Bride will start airing chapter by chapter every day for two weeks on Quibi starting on Monday, June 29.
Meanwhile, you can watch a few of the clips from the film on Vanity Fair.
