deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: McG (Way of the Warrior Kid) is in final negotiations to direct Shout It Out Loud, a biopic about Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley and their superstar rock band KISS, which will be produced by STX Entertainment, sources tell Deadline.
STX declined to comment. But we hear the studio is in discussions with Lionsgate to distribute the film worldwide and co-finance.
