Chadwick Boseman, Kelly Clarkson, more help hype STX Films
Lstarring Katie Holmes, a retiree cheerleading comedy “Poms,” starring Diane Keaton, an action-comedy in Guy Ritchie’s “The Gentleman,” with Matthew McConaughey and Colin Farrell, and a classic literary adaption with “The Secret Garden,” to name a few.
Fogelson announced that “Bad Moms’ Moms,” with Susan Sarandon, Cheryl Hines, and Christine Baranski, is in development.
The studio also brought out Holmes, Keaton and Charlie Hunnam and Henry Golding of “The Gentleman” to talk about their films, as well as Kelly Clarkson and Pitbull, who voice roles in “Uglydolls,” the studio’s first foray into animation that will be out May 3.
Clarkson said she grew up dreaming about being a princess but when the “Uglydolls” project came her way, she thought, “This is totally more me. This is more my personality.”
She also performed an original song from the film, “Broken & Beautiful.”
“We teach in our household that unique is just as cool and sometimes even more cool,” Clarkson said.
It’s not a dissimilar message to STX’s own mission, which is to be an antidote to a superhero dominated film landscape.
