Susan Lacy (Director and producer): 'For those who think they know Joel's story, as well as those who are not as familiar, I believe this two-part film is both a revelation and a surprise. I was drawn to his story as someone who knew little at the outset, and was astounded at how autobiographical his songs are and how complex his story is. We are gratified that Bill trusted us with his story, which we have told as honestly as possible, diving into territory which has not been explored before.'

Jamie Lee Curtis confirms a ‘Murder, She Wrote' reboot: ‘It's happening'
That's not all she wrote. Jamie Lee Curtis has confirmed that she will star in a 'Murder, She Wrote' reboot. 'Oh, it's… happening,' Curtis told Entertainment Tonight. 'We're a minute away, but yeah, [I'm] very excited. Very excited,' the 'Halloween' actress, 66, added. 'But I'm tamping down my enthusiasm until we start shooting. I have a couple of other things to hustle, but then I'll get to enjoy that work.' 7 Jamie Lee Curtis attends the 'Freakier Friday' LA premiere on July 22, 2025.

The original 'Murder, She Wrote' ran on CBS for 12 seasons from 1984 to 1996. Lansbury died at age 96 in 2022. ''Murder, She Wrote' has given me more worldwide attention than any other role I played in the movies or on the stage,' she said in 2013 while receiving an honorary Oscar. 'It's a wonderful thing to be known in Spain, Portugal, in Paris, in France and Germany and everywhere.' The original show was set in the quaint town of Cabot Cove, Maine. 7 Angela Lansbury in 'Murder, She Wrote.' ©CBS/Courtesy Everett Collection 7 George Maharis, Angela Lansbury and Chad Everett in a 1990 episode of 'Murder, She Wrote.' ©Universal/Courtesy Everett Collection 7 Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan at the 'Freakier Friday' movie premiere in Mexico on July 24, 2025.

The reboot movie starring the 'Haunted Mansion' actress was first reported in December. It will be a film written by Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo. Curtis has enjoyed a career resurgence lately, as she reprised her 'Halloween' role in the 2018 movie, won an Oscar in 2023 (in the 'best supporting actress' category for 'Everything Everywhere All At Once') and she's in the buzzy Hulu show, 'The Bear.' She's also set to reprise her modern classic 'Freaky Friday' role in the upcoming sequel, 'Freakier Friday,' premiering Aug. 8. 7 Jamie Lee Curtis at the premiere for 'Freakier Friday' in LA on July 22, 2025.

Courtesy Everett Collection Lansbury got a slew of Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for the role, and reprised the role in four TV movies, in addition to the show. On 'Murder, She Wrote,' behind the scenes, Lansbury was known for helping hire older actors in guest roles, who had dwindling careers and needed work in order to qualify for their Screen Actors Guild medical/dental benefits. Randall Bosley, a former extra from 'Murder, She Wrote' told the LA Times in 2023 about an incident when Lansbury passed the Craft Services table on set, and saw a paltry offering of only chips, coffee, and water. Bosley recalled that Lansbury said, 'This is unacceptable. I want my people well taken care of. I'm going back to my trailer and I'm not coming back until this table is properly stocked with nourishing food and drink for everyone.' Bosley said, 'Soon thereafter the craft service table was filled with the most wonderful array of food and drink. It became well known among people doing extra work that this was a show you really wanted to work on.'

Jazz legend Chuck Mangione, known for ‘Feels So Good,' dies at 84
NEW YORK (AP) — Two-time Grammy Award-winning musician Chuck Mangione, who achieved international success in 1977 with his jazz-flavored single 'Feels So Good' and later became a voice actor on the animated TV comedy 'King of the Hill,' has died. He was 84. Mangione died at his home in Rochester, New York, on Tuesday in his sleep, said his attorney, Peter S. Matorin of Beldock Levine & Hoffman LLP. The musician had been retired since 2015. Perhaps his biggest hit — 'Feels So Good' — is a staple on most smooth-jazz radio stations and has been called one of the most recognized melodies since 'Michelle' by the Beatles. It hit No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the top of the Billboard adult contemporary chart. 'It identified for a lot of people a song with an artist, even though I had a pretty strong base audience that kept us out there touring as often as we wanted to, that song just topped out there and took it to a whole other level,' Mangione told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in 2008. He followed that hit with 'Give It All You Got,' commissioned for the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, and he performed it at the closing ceremony. Mangione, a flugelhorn and trumpet player and jazz composer, released more than 30 albums during a career in which he built a sizable following after recording several albums, doing all the writing. He won his first Grammy Award in 1977 for his album 'Bellavia,' which was named in honor of his mother. Another album, 'Friends and Love,' was also Grammy-nominated, and he earned a best original score Golden Globe nomination and a second Grammy for the movie 'The Children of Sanchez.' Mangione introduced himself to a new audience when he appeared on the first several seasons of 'King of the Hill,' appearing as a commercial spokesman for Mega Lo Mart, where 'shopping feels so good.' Mangione, brother of jazz pianist Gap Mangione, with whom he partnered in The Jazz Brothers, started his career as a bebop jazz musician heavily inspired by Dizzy Gillespie. 'He also was one of the first musicians I saw who had a rapport with the audience by just telling the audience what he was going to play and who was in his band,' Mangione told the Post-Gazette. Mangione earned a bachelor's degree from the Eastman School of Music — where he would eventually return as director of the school's jazz ensemble — and left home to play with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. He donated his signature brown felt hat and the score of his Grammy-winning single 'Feels So Good,' as well as albums, songbooks and other ephemera from his long and illustrious career to the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in 2009.
