Producer Greg Berlanti is taking a break from the Arrowverse to direct an upcoming biopic about Hollywood star Rock Hudson. The film will be an adaptation of the upcoming Mark Griffin book All That Heaven Allows: A Biography of Rock Hudson, which follows Hudson’s rise to fame as a matinee idol in the 1950s while staying closeted as a gay man.

No one has been cast yet as Hudson, but I would put my money on one of the men of the Arrowverse to potentially secure the role.
