Zuma PressIs Tyrese Gibson looking to start a riot with Steven Spielberg?
Quite possibly.
Spielberg was a producer on Transformers, in which Gibson appeared, and now the actor says he’s looking to score a role in the Spielberg-directed The Trial of the Chicago 7, a drama about the protesters at the riots of the 1968 Democratic Convention.
“I just went out for a role,” Gibson said at Ebony magazine’s annual pre-Oscar gala last night at Boulevard3 in Hollywood.
Gibson’s manager told me this morning that the actor recently met with casting directors for the flick: “But I think it’s been put on hold. Hopefully, we’ll talk to them again if the movie happens.”
That’s not all I got for ya from the Ebony soiree. For more, click over to our fab Red Carpet Oscar blog.
