Arianda Plays Joplin In Biopic

Nina Arianda, who just won the Best Actress Tony Award for her work on the stage in "Venus in Fur", will make her big screen debut as 1960's rock icon Janis Joplin in a new biopic says Deadline.



"Martha Marcy May Marlene" director Sean Durkin will helm the film that will chronicle the final six months of the singer’s life with flashbacks to her early career.

Arianda will sing Joplin’s tunes in the film and Peter Newman will produce with shooting to kick off early next year.
