Alexander McQueen<\/a> biopic, the excitement has reached an all time high as\u00a0producers confirm\u00a0the addition\u00a0Jack O\u2019Connell to the cast. Tackling the lead role, \u00a0the former \u201cSkins\u201d star is set to play\u00a0the celebrated fashion designer alongside a cast that\u00a0is still yet to be released.
\nBased on the biography by Andrew Wilson, the film will focus on the designer\u2019s AW09 collection entitled \u201cHorn of Plenty\u201d. \u201cProviding an intimate portrait of the man behind the global brand\u201d, director Andrew Haigh plans to unfold the highs and lows that ultimately led\u00a0to McQueen\u2019s last \u2013 and arguably greatest \u2013 show. The biographical feature will show \u201cthe laughter that came easily with his family and friends, and the pressure that came with the relentless demands of the fashion industry.\u201d
\nBesides being a dead ringer for the fashion mogul, O\u2019Connell\u2019s expansive acting career will also aid him in his challenge of playing McQueen. His rough and ready character portrayal in films such as\u00a0\u201cStarred Up\u201d and \u201cThis is England\u201d show his capability for emulating a volatile role, a skill that will be useful as he portrays the late designer\u00a0during the most stressful time of his career.
