While Andy Warhol would have celebrated his 92nd birthday this year, Jared Leto has announced that he will interpret the pop art icon on the big screen. On August 6, on the occasion of Andy Warhol's birthday, Jared Leto confirmed the rumors by announcing on his Instagram account that a biopic on the artist was going to be made, and that he would be part of it. 
"Yes, that's right. I'm going to play Andy Warhol in an upcoming movie. And I'm so grateful and excited about this opportunity. Happy late birthday Andy. We miss you and your genius. "
In 2016, the interpreter of the Joker had already announced working as an actor and producer alongside Michael De Luca, on this feature film. With this announcement, Leto shows us that the future of the film would finally seem to materialize. If we still do not know the name of the director as well as the release date of this biopic, the latter will be based on the book Warhol: The biography by Victor Borckris released in 1989. Finally, the writing of the screenplay will go to Terence Winter, nominated for an Oscar in 2014 for the screenplay of The Wolf of Wall Street. Entitled Warhol, the project that would be a big budget film, already promises to make a big noise. We can't wait to see Jared Leto in the costume of the great artist.
