Jeff Bridges, Taylor Kitsch Join Josh Brolin-Miles Teller Firefighter Film (EXCLUSIVE) Jeff Bridges and Taylor Kitsch have rounded out the ensemble cast for Black Label Media’s untitled firefighter film that currently stars Josh Brolin, Miles Teller and James Badge Dale. Black Label will also continue its strong partnership with Lionsgate, which now has worldwide distribution rights, including North America, through its Summit Entertainment label. This news comes on the heels of the project’s strong international sales at the Cannes Film Festival. Lionsgate seemed like the obvious home for the project given Black Label’s strong ties to the studio following the success of “Sicario” and the upcoming Ryan Gosling-Emma Stone musical “La La Land.” “Tron: Legacy” helmer Joseph Kosinski will direct the film, which follows the Granite Mountain Hotshots, a group of firefighters that faced one of the deadliest wildfires in history in order to save an Arizona town, resulting in the tragic death of 19 crew members. Kitsch and Bridges will play firefighters in the pic. Ken Nolan developed the story on spec with the producers. Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Erik Howsam, Conde Nast Entertainment’s Jeremy Steckler and Dawn Ostroff, Mike Menchel, Black Label Media’s Molly Smith, Trent Luckinbill and Thad Luckinbill are producing the film. Black Label is financing. Di Bonaventura also has “Deep Water Horizon” on the pipeline with Lionsgate. Kitsch most recently appeared in HBO’s second season of “True Detective” opposite Colin Farrell and Rachel McAdams. He is about to make his directorial debut with “Pieces,” which he will also star in. He’s also attached to topline “The Death and Life of John F. Donovan” with Jessica Chastain. He is repped by CAA and Untitled Entertainment. Bridges is coming off strong reviews following the premiere of his heist film “Hell or High Water” at Cannes. He is repped by CAA and MGMT Entertainment. Black Label Media’s Molly Smith, Thad Luckinbill and Trent Luckinbill have several other high-profile projects in production/pre-production, including writer/director Danny Strong’s “Rebel in the Rye,” starring Nicholas Hoult and Kevin Spacey. They recently signed a first look, two-year deal with ABC Signature and ABC Studios.

I actually like a lot of Miles' movies. I never really seek them out, but the ones I have seen I've enjoyed. He seems to have a douche streak but at the same time he's pretty low key celebrity wise.

[worthyoflove]

Favorite scene from the movie with Taylor. Well, actually it's a toss up between this and the hospital. He kind of steals all the scenes he's featured in.

[elherts]

I remember seeing Miles in That Awkward Moment with Michael B. Jordan and Zac Efron but totally standing out to me. I thought it was strange because in the looks department they are 10s and he's like 4.


JBD in Cannes this weekend. I'm kind of in love with him.

[worthyoflove]

Miles is at Cannes too.

So I had no clue that the lead opposite JBD in his movie that's at Cannes is Leo's current girlfriend.

I didn't know that either. She's beautiful, whoever she is, and more than half their age, or at least that's how young she looks.

[worthyoflove]

She's 21, so super young.

Also, Miles' finance was having her bachelorette party a few weeks back. I wonder if they'll be getting married soon.

[KitscherSunk]

What's her name? (Leo's gf I mean)

Speaking of Miles, I stumbled upon this today: his Cannes press conference for his new Amazon series. I must admit, he's hot here with that mustache.

That mustache is awful! I don’t think that helps him at all. Nope!

[KitscherSunk]

Must just be me. lol Someone in the comments made a joke about Magnum PI.

[worthyoflove]

He has to still be wearing that mustache for Top Gun...I feel like they've been filming that for like a year.

You can love it. I don’t think he looks like magnum. I get the reference, but he’s no Tom Selleck. That mustache is wearing training wheels.

[worthyoflove]

He's Goose's son, right? I think? Goose had the mustache. I'm actually really looking forward to Top Gun.

[KitscherSunk]

Oh yeah! Goose did have a mustache! So that would make him the son of Anthony Edwards and Meg Ryan. I can see it.
